Speed cubing for people with bad memories

[qwr]

How bad is your memory really? A lot of people think they don't have good memory because they forget where they put things or something like that, but have never really sat down over a period and tried to learn muscle memory, which is more like learning to type or ride a bike.

I have several non-3x3x3 puzzles, and I have learned to solve them, but that was a few years ago and I forget everything now. I would have to relearn how to solve them.

Yeah, everybody talks about muscle memory. Maybe you're right. Maybe when my non-toy cube gets here, I can learn some fast moves and maybe my muscles will remember them.

(57x9.7+21x11.8)/78=10.2 average cfop alg move count
10.95 average roux alg move count
(I checked kian’s CMLL doc, and 15 cross over with cfop)

I have a pretty bad memory and I don't have a problem learning 100s of algs for 3x3 and Megaminx. I have a hard time memorizing words or letters but muscle memory is easy for me.

Like for real it takes me 40 minutes to memo for 3bld ):

also muscle memory is really about the "feel" of performing an algorithm. I remember the starting moves then I can figure it out, ex. "start with sexy, move index finger to do R F, then bring wrist back with R2, ..."
