I find edges a little harder, but they're not all that different. You have more to choose from with BH edges, because you have to decide whether or not to go for the optimal solutions that aren't center-safe on big cubes. If you do go for those (which I've done for a lot of cases), there are a few more cases you need to learn to recognize.Which is harder, BH edges or corners?
Using different journeys/rooms can help; at the very least, it's nice to swap between two sets of journeys so you don't reuse the same one twice in a row. Other than that, I find that it's helpful to not memorize too vividly. It seems like if you make the images really super vivid (like it sounds like Chris Hardwick does), it can be hard to forget. Mine aren't as vivid, I think, so they're easier to forget. If you hear Ben Pridmore describe his memorization of a deck of cards, it doesn't sound all that vivid (it sounds a lot like mine), so perhaps it's really helpful. It's like there's a balancing act - you want to make it as vivid as necessary to keep it through the solve, but not vivid enough to last after you're done.are you serious? I'll attempt 4 cubes again and I really need to forget the last one
I like to tell people that just about anyone can remember a big cube blindfolded (once they learn the techniques); my talent is that I'm really good at forgetting.
