Is it possible for me to solve blindfolded...without algorithms?

[alkanova]

Hello,

Ok, so I am a very lazy guy who hates to memorize anything. How I solve the cube usually is solve two layers except for one column, then I use that column to solve the edges on the last layer then I solve the corners using the three-corner cycle, I could barely get below 1 min but that's fine I am not interested in speed lol. I solved all the other cubes till v-7 and I am now wondering if it's possible to solve 3x3 blindfolded as all the stuff I know are stuff that don't need memorization(three-edge cycle, three-corner cycle..etc.). I don't even know what the concept is but the second it says memorization I freak out X(.

thanks

If you hate to memorize stuff, then you shouldn't be concerned with blindfold solving.

If you hate memorization I am afraid Rubiks Cubes just entirely ain't your cup of tea...

 

[joey]

nope.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

no

haha, these responses made me laugh.

If you don't like memorizing stuff, I don't think blindfold is your thing. SpeedBLD, that won't need any extra algorithms, but it's pretty tough.

You wish to solve a cube blindfolded.... which entails MEMORIZING the POSITION and ORIENTATION of EVERY cubie without memorization? Read your post and think again.

He will still have to memo his solution >.>.

No new algorithms however.

I am sorry but that doesn't make sense to me at all, I can solve all the cubes. I said the way I usually solve it but I always solve it many other ways. I just don't look at algorithms and memorize them. I admitted that speed solving isn't my thing(unless I come up with stuff that are really good) but am not interested in that.

and guys I am sorry I might have miss-explained, what I meant by memorization is memorizing algorithms , if it's memorizing the cube or having an image for it, I am fine with it - I try it sometimes for like three moves or so as much as I can-, so is it possible ?

You can do it with 3 algs.

Look it up, it's called Old Pochmann.

Just buy a Haiyan Memory. It will memorize for you.

Or buy haiyan himself and he'll do it for you.

In Soviet Russia, You don't buy Haiyan. He buy you.

(three-edge cycle, three-corner cycle..etc.).

I'm no expert, but isn't using corner or edge 3-cycles to directly solve pieces in place just BH?

 

[Feryll]

Using M2/BH is pretty algorithmless. You only need to know the algorithms "M2", "R2", "U2 M' U2 M' ", "M U2 M U2", and however many orientation algorithms you choose to learn. The corners will just require very good intuition and understanding of commutators.

Using Old Pochmann and remembering 2 algorithms (You can get by on one if you want to lose a lot of speed and risk screwing the solve up) is the easiest, and will take you, like, what, an hour to memorize the two algorithms?

But if you can't commit to those puny algorithms, then you aren't putting enough effort into it. It's like not even bothering to remember your own phone number. There's a reason 99+% of the population can't do it with their eyes open.

8355 variant for corners!

 

[Joël]

Well... I think if you learn how commutators work, you should be able to get there. There are quite a few simple commutators for orienting pieces or 3 cycling pieces that basically don't require memorisation, IMO... If you understand how they work, you don't have to memo them, it's more about 'learning' than pure memorisation.

Btw, it sounds like you are somewhat afraid of memo-ing algs, so may I ask how you normally would memo an alg? You are not actually memoing the RLUDFB's, are you?

I only know 3 algs for bld that I can't explain move for move. Everything else is intuitive.

1.) Two edge flip
2.) Four edge flip ([MU]x4)
3.) "Lift" 3 cycle for corners (eg. ULF -> URB -> DLF)
