[Help Thread] Blindsolving

I may as well post here since I just learnt pochmann from the same vid as cookingfat (yes I saw your comment o.O)
how do you memo the corners right? cos sometimes I memo them but the the move cw or ccw because of another alg so how am I supposed to predict that?

 

[dangitsmatthew]

I'm not sure what the problem is...? What is "another alg"? No algorithm should move the corners around. (while solving the edges you're swapping two corners back and forth). Are you using the Y and J permutations to swap the corners?

I said for corners... and yes I'm doing it the exact same way

 

[dangitsmatthew]

The corners should never move out of position though (except for the two you're swapping during edge solves). So when you solve corners, they should all be in the same position as you memo-ed them and then you solve them by swapping two corners and the same edges all the time. I'm not sure how the corners move...?

 

[cookingfat]

lets say you do edges first. every time you solve an edge, 2 corners are swapped. That means that if you have to remember an odd number of moves for edges, say 11, then the 2 corners will be swapped and will not be how you memorised them. In this case you need to do a parity fix. I do y' Ra y. (This will also swap 2 of your solved edges but don't worry) Then, when you solve the corners (these will also be odd) the 2 edges you swapped with the parity will be solved again.

in short, if there are an odd number of items to remember for either edges or corners (whichever you do first), you need to do parity in between doing edges and corners. If there are an even number of items to remember, you don't need to do the parity fix.

Yes I understand everything fine but when I am doing THE CORNER STAGE I sometimes rotate a corner while fixing another.
eg. I have1st layer solved.
in the buffer postion I have BO (body odour(lol)) and it needs to go to where GY is. I do the correct setup+execution and... BAM!!! GY turned into YG D: help...

No, you haven't done the right setup move.

No, you haven't done the right setup move.

but it fixed the piece that I was meaning to fix...

 

[dangitsmatthew]

Are you sure you're targeting the right sticker? If you know the sticker you're targeting, you'll know the orientation of the next sticker. Like check where the Blue-Orange needs to go and then in the place of the Blue sticker and the Orange sticker right now is what you need to memorise for the next piece.

 

[Stefan]

Please post the actual "setup+execution" moves for your example.

BLD memo help?

Ok so I was looking in the BLD accomplisment thread, and I saw Blah. and he memorized solves like this.

1. PVBMJW KDRGF - a pervert bombed a Jew, a kid in rags farted
2. RVONBT HJELC - reverend on a boat, then it got hijacked by an elc (I don't know what an elc is, but I was kinda picturing an elf...)

like pervert is pv how would he memo that? and bombed is bm idk how he memos like that.


Is there something I am missing how he memos like that?

 

[michaellahti]

It's a story.

 

[Parity]

Yeah but 2 letters in a word that is what I don't get.

Check out here for lots more info about memory methods.

Also there is a thread on this very forum dedicated to this.

I suggest that you take a look at the Loci-method.

BLD help?

I average 17 seconds and i still cant get a successful BLD ive tried learning Old Pochmann but i relized that i cannot memorize all the steps. So what is the memory method i should use beacause i tend to forget memorised leading to unsuccessful BLD solves. And i used badmephisto's tutorial.

Thanks in advance

Try using a PAO system:
-Give every sticker/position a person, action and object.
-Memorise person of [target 1], memorise action of [target 2], then memorise object of [target 3]
- Then just repeat that until you go through all targets.
-I use visual memory to work out where the permuted but wrongly flipped edges and corners are.

I Hope that was of assistance

 

[yoruichi]

that PAO chyt is mad complicado
easier way is to just letter them stickers and remember those
numbers are good too somehow if ur a math guy

No, not really, you can use the same PAO's for corners and edges, so you really just have to memorise 22 people that have an action and object.
I gave each sticker/position a letter then gave each letter a person starting with that letter.

 

[yoruichi]

o... thats smart
