The Journey method for memorization

[Cubenovice]

so do we have to assign 24 places around us to all the 12 edges for journey method.

No, you only need 24 "codes" for all the stickers on the 12 edges. ("images", letters, numbers or whatever you have assigned to each sticker)

The number of places in your journey is unrelated, it is all up to you to decide how many pieces of info you want to store at each location.
This can be 1 cycle, 3 edges, 2 letter-pair images, all edges or corners or full cube (in multi BLD), etc, etc, per location.

ok so basically first i gotta decide what to use for the 24 stickers...that can be numbers,images or letters.

so for example if i choose letters,and i decide to remember them in pairs and that way i will have to remember 6 pairs of letters,is it that way?

I'm not focusing on Multi BLD for now

Yep, 1st thing is to become comfortable with your "sticker codes"
If you pair them up 5.5 pairs is all you need ;-) IF you do not need to break into a new cycle somewhere along your solve.

I think it is best to make up your own list of letters, numbers or images. That way they will be much easier to remember / recall.
Joel van Noort has got a very nice tutorial on Old Pochmann, feel free to google it.

You can also fnd a lot of info in the BLD subforum.

Thanx for makin my edge memorisation easy,pl help me out with corners as well,numbers or letters? and how do you memorise the 8 pieces of corners? like what data to you store in your brain,for edges - 6 words and for corners?

 

[Cubenovice]

I use (the same) images for both corners and edges. These are all objects that have the same color scheme as the edges.

Example for green-orange and green-white edge:
green-orange is parrot (green bird, orange beak) this is actually the green sticker on that edge
orange-green is carrot (mostly orange, some green) this is actually the orange sticker on that edge

green-white is flowers/plants (mostly green, some white)
white-green is bathroom (MY bathroomis mostly white, some green details)
Well, you should get the idea.

Corners:
Although corners have three stickers each location can be determined from just two stickers.
If you "read" the stickers always in the same direction (clockwise for me) two stickers is al you need.
So I can use the same 24 images I have for edges.

This is my memory method but beware it is not a very good one; I need to make a story or journey with 18 items!
If you use letters and pair them up you only need to remember 9 words.

So again I have to mention the BLD threads on methods and memorisation. You will find lots of different techniques there and for sure there is one (or a combo) that suits you.
