Need major help - New to BLD cubing

[LaffyTaffyKidd]

Yeah.. It's me again.. asking for help on how to do a rubik's cube blindfolded. I'm sorry that I'm not as 'smart' as other people... but hopefully I'll get closer after this.

There are a LOT of things that I don't understand: Memorization, the steps to doing the cube blindfolded, and algorithms.

Memorization: For memorization, if you were to memorize the numbers: 1 3 4 - How are you suppose to remember how to turn the cube to that area because there are basically different ways of turning the cube to that location.

Steps to doing the cube blindfolded: When you first start from a scrambled cube, what exactly are you suppose to look for and how are you suppose to memorize more than 2-3 pieces at a time? (Since you move the cube so much). Also, from this list: CO, EO, CP, and EP. What order would it be doing it the easiest (Since I'm a novice).

Algorithms: I've looked on many sites to learn how to do a rubik's cube blindfold, and I thought that PJK's works the best (so far, but still a lot of confusions). Since the website provides me with a few algorithms, how am I suppose to know when to use that specific algorithm.


Lastly, I just need someone to tell me (very detailed 'please!') on how would you do this cube from the scrambled sequence with white on bottom and blue facing front: R2 U L' U D2 R U' B2 F U R D' L F D'

Yes, yes... I know I'm asking A LOT... but I've read many sites numerous times, but it still confuses me. So would someone please help me out, I would be greatly appreciated.

I use the pochmann method.
R2 U L' U D2 R U' B2 F U R D' L F D'

T = R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F'
P = R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U'
Q = (L U') (R' U) (L' U2') (R U') (R' U2 R)

1. d' l' P
2. Q l d
3. d l' P l d'
4. d2 l T l' d2
5. l P l'
6. d' l T l' d
7. P
8. l' P l
9. d l T l' d'
10. l' P l
11+12. x' U R U' M'U'M'U'M'U'M' M'U'M'U'M'U'M'U' U R' U' x

Thats how I would solve the edges.

Ok, now from the perspective of a 3-cycle-solver:

I memorize in this order:
EP (1 12 5 3 8) (2 10) (6 9)
CP (1 5 6) (4 8 7)
EO (0010) (0011) (1010) // 1 means not correctly oriented
CO (0220) (0002) // 2 means: needs a ccw rotation to be correctly oriented

in the following i only describe the necessary setup-moves and which U-perm you need to execute.
[U1] = cw front
[U2] = ccw front
[U3] = cw back
[U4] = ccw back

I execute in the opposite order:
CO/EO
CP
EP:
(1 12 5): D x U [U2] U' x' D'
(1 3 8): U' F [U2] F' U
(2 10) (6 9): F2 B U2 R2 [H-Permutation (M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2)] R2 U2 B' F2

If you don't know how to execute the U-perm at the front and back, just make an additional U2.

CP is exactly the same as EP, just with other Algorithms and harder setup-moves. But if you understand how to do the EP, you automatically know how to do the CP.

If you want to learn 3-cycle i highly recommend to read Macyk's guide. He explained the method understandable and very clean.
