Sudden Algorithm Forgetful Syndrome

[Jani]

it happens to me
and it is in competition

R perm, i hate that so much
and N perm in bigcubes.

 

[dada222]

Thing is, when that happens, I totally forget the alg. I need several minutes to remember it back or sometimes I don't at all ( I have to find it and see it again).

i've forgotten the E-perm 3 times already, i learnt it about 1-2 months ago

Yesterday I just couldn't exec. R perm (the one with R' U2 R) on 5x5..

i hate it when i can't recognize people

 

[Luigimamo]

make sure you practise all plls weekly to stop forgetting them

If anyone has "SHCIJULNAS" (aka "Sudden Holy Crap I Just Up and Learned a New Algorithm Syndrome") - and it happens to be contagious - go high five Phases!

how in the world do you pronounce that?

I can often perform my square-1 algorithms fast during a solve but if I was teaching someone then I would forget it and i have to purposely scramble the cube and then pretend I'm in an actual solve to remember the alg, but I still can't do it slowly

this happens to me a lot when it late or Ive been cubing all day

 

[ianini]

This happens to me, but only with new OLL's.

 

[rubiknewbie]

It happens with the most instinctive algorithms. N perms are the easiest to mess up.

I forgot a OLL alg yeasterday, I was like thinkin a few hours till I came home and then I knew it again!

 

[scotzbhoy]

Been there. At Bristol I was practicing 7x7 and suddenly forgot the parity algorithm. I had to watch my friend do it in slow-mo to pick it up again.
I also can't remember algorithms very well if I'm not performing them. I remember by what my hands do, not by what moves are written down.

 

[Rabid]

I haven’t cubed for awhile and was wristing a novelty tartan and totally blanked on the LL. All the plaids blurred and I had no idea how to do the alg. I had to close my eyes and let my fingers do it alone.

 

[crazymanjimbo46]

When I'm using another cube that is really slow I just stop and I'm like, What do I do now?

 

[Ender_Mage14]

i cant memorize the antisune without actually bumping into it. its weird. whenever i see it it triggers the alg in my head and i do it, but cant do it without actually seeing it.

 

[Ender_Mage14]

2 days ago I forgot the clockwise U-perm *sigh*

lololololol

 

[Ender_Mage14]

sometimes

lololololol

i forget z perm
