Watch Noah Arthur's tutorialI've never learned how to solve a 3x3 BLD.
Watch Noah Arthur's tutorialI've never learned how to solve a 3x3 BLD.
For someone who know next to nothing about blind, should I learn M2 or Old Pochmann? And For corners? I just want to be able to solve it blind in a few min.
Question: How can I remember orientations (like corner twists or edge flip) with letter pairs method for long time? By tapping stickers, it's not that hard to remember when there're less than 5 cubes, but it doesn't really work when there are 20~30 or more cubes. In addition, for edges, you only have to remember which one is flipped, but for corners, you also have to memorize the direction to orient them. Any suggestions?
Thank you, this is gonna work well for me.The first letter of the pair is one sticker, and the second is where that sticker needs to go
If you executed these two targets it actually solves the twist or flip, but you could also juts use an alg
+2If you're one move off on a BLD attempt, is it a DNF or a +2?
Most people use setup+alg, but you can still just do two OP/R2/M2 targets.Thank you, this is gonna work well for me.
In execution, the method you've mentioned seems to work only for M2/R2. How do people solve them in 3-style? Just doing setup+alg?
1. Time matters when the points are the same.A few questions:
1: If a multiblind time is just a cutoff and it's all about points, wouldn't it be better to always skip the last turn so you would get a bunch of +2's? Or does that affect your point number?
2: During a MBLD memo, do you use visual for both corners and edges? And if you use one room (memory palace) per cube, how do you remember when to stop solving edges and switch to corners (or vise versa)?
When you say "visual" do you mean images? If so then yes, almost everyone uses it for edges and corners in MBLD.A few questions:

1. Time matters so you need to be sure to not do that or if someone ties you with points then they would win if your +2s add up enough on your time.A few questions:

2. I personally don't do any visual unless it's the last 3bld cube but I think I remember @sigalig mentioning he memos flipped edges visually
You're right, and tbh this would probably be faster. But there are a few reasons why you might not want to do this:For M2, DB as buffer makes a lot more sense, because for setup moves instead of doing B moves you are doing F moves, which are easier to finger trick. I really don't see why you would use DF/FD, except that that is how the method was developed. But if you are new to learning then it makes a lot of sense to learn it that way. Are there any cons to DB/BD as buffer?
Oh yes, I meant imagesIf I ever get more than one flipped edge or more than one twisted corner in a scramble, I memo them visually, yes. I think Aerma may be getting confused with terminology though, by "visual" I'm guessing she means the visual story that you put in a room. @Aerma , normally people use the term visual to refer to basically what I would call a brute force memorization, where you try to take a mental snapshot of the actual cube, and remember whatever relevant pieces from that mental snapshot.
