Memory Methods

[RyanReese09]

Meh, I need this down by sunday

This might be asking too much, but kinch, could you do a very basic scramble to help s..ok

Do this. Yellow top, Orange front (bare with me)

R
Yperm
R'

Basic case. Give me the memo (just doing this example will guarentee I understand you

Case in point-if you remember the edge memo, I understood that via a basic example

Ryan: I really believe you have no idea what is going on. What are you asking us to show you?

For R Y-perm R', you would memorise FRD.

Do you really mean a Y-perm, or the old pocmhmann "y-perm"?

 

[RyanReese09]

I mean a Y perm

and i think i have it now

Say I do F2, then Yperm, F2

Memo would be...DLF?

Yeah.

 

[RyanReese09]

awesome. got it.

 

[palmcubes]

i give evrey color a number
yellow=1
orange=2 ect.
for edges i memorize the numbers
i also give each corner a letter i use the letter for permutation and number for orrientation

I kinda have been changing my memory system. I do M2 with CO and CP. I use 24 letters and now I group them groups of 4 letters to memorize. So for example, ESPA BGJK VX. Then I make up an image for each group of letters on the spot and link them together with a link memory system. It's only two images because ESPA is linked to BGJK and then BGJK is linked to VX. It's less stuff to memorize than the person action system I was using before. Then CO and CP is visual (for now..). It's nothing new. Just thought I'd share.

I assign a letter to each piece, then when I memorize I make a story-type-thing. For example, say I got "AFERHDJ..." I could make a story "A french elephant ran home drinking juice" or something. It's easy to remember. I just make two stories, one for edges and one for corners.

That's good, but it can be optimized even more for memory. Aronpm is really good at making these up quickly.

EG:

AFERHDJ

AFter ERik HiDes...

Funny thing is, I saw ER, and memo-ed Cornelius, and then thought, no Erik would be a better example, and it was extremely coincidental that Erik has the ER for 3x3

Blindfold memorization techniques

I am trying to learn blindfold cubing, but I can't do it without the paper, any and all help would be 'help'ful.

 

[KboyForeverB]

story method, eg.
I once found a "wig" that was at "war" with a "yoyo".

 

[Cubenovice]

My stories feature Superman, Smurfs, Bananaman and today there was even a vomiting parrot...

Each sticker has its own image/person/action:
Blue yellow Edge:
Blue side = bananaman (blue suit with a little yellow)
Yellow side= train (dutch trains have a yellow body with blue trim)

Green-orange Edge:
Green side = Parrot (green with orange beak)
Orange side = Carrot (you get the idea)

Same for corners

People-Action-Object is a slow memo method for 3x3 single bld IMO.

Just use letters for edges, and memo them in whatever way you wish to associate them. Certain groups of letters are easier to memo by sound, some through story, some a mixture of both, etc

 

[RyanReese09]

What's the best way to do a single corner memo 3x3 solve? Aka for a single solve, what is the easiest memo way? Edges are no problem memo wise, but corners...diffficult

Yeah I already found that out...
But I will first try to get a bit more comfortable with BLD solving (set up moves, flipping/twisting and parity) and then indeed change to a letter system.

Why are corners more difficult? There are more edges?

I would recommend some kind of auditory system. For example I label each corner with a letter followed by a vowel to determine it's orientation, and Kirjava uses some Japanese characters thingy

I've never used 3OP for corners but if I do I'd memo CP with numbers and CO visually

 

[Cubenovice]

Or use a different letter for all three stickers of the corner

thats what i do

dunno. i just did a try, 3:30 for edge memo, corners...around 16 minutes
My edge memo was
Special victims question jay about losing fights N
corner memo was
kites gust over seas ...something.. promising ryan vows x

i know the corner memo was 9 total, i'm just missing something there

23 minutes some total dnf. anyway, lettering isn't cutting it

EG:

AFERHDJ

AFter ERik HiDes...

The problem I have with this is that I sometimes forget which letters in the word actually apply to my memo. I might accidentally do something like this:

AfTer ERik HIdes...

@ Ryan: Then perhaps for corners you could try to do the name-person-action type thingy as in my post on the previous page.
Just find some words for every sticker that are easily recognizable for you.

Edges and corners do not have to be the same memo style.
