Disclaimer: those events are really not as impressive as they seem to an outsider.

I know that, but Caden doesn't seem to be able to do those despite sating 'all wca puzzles'

the hardest part for me is memorizing the algorithms. I've memorized the 4 basic pll ones, but am struggling with the others. Melts my brain

I would recommend breaking algorithms up into shorter bits and pairing them together. For example, the tperm is difficult to memorize if you just remember "R U R’ U’ R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' " but you could break it down into something like " (R U R’ U’) (R' F R2 U') (R' U' R U) R' F' " Then you can just focus on each part by itself and group the whole thing together.

It's also helpful to track where the F2L pairs are going. For example, in the sune alg, you can track that the pair goes to the LUF corner, then the BUL corner, then back into the F2L.

I am practising 5BLD my main event since 2014, and I want to get sub-2 minutes in it.
