Re: Any tips or tricks to make bld mem easier?

Just memorizing a letters (or numbers) sequence is difficult.

Here is a system that works and that doesnt take long time to develop
(I got it from Stefan Pochmann's web site http://www.stefan-
pochmann.de/spocc/blindsolving/M2R2/):

Allocate a person to each sticker. Then allocate an action to each
sticker. You will have some work to do for that, as there are 48
stickers.

Once your system is ready, memorize the cube using it. Memorize each
cycle two stickers at a time, combining the person and the action
(ex: "Batman" - " playing guitar") in order to do a meaningful image. I
suppose you already know what a "buffer piece" is. So start building
your image after the buffer. I mean, you skip the buffer and allocate a
person to the next piece of the cycle, then an action to the other one
(this build a meaningful image) and so on until the end of the cycle.
This way (because you use M2), you restore the M slice after solving
each image (two pieces), making its follow up more easy. You may need
to start a new cycle, just start from where you want, making sure to
memorize something special between two cycle for safety. If you finish
a cycle with a person, but no more piece for an action, it is a parity.
In that case, I recommend to have a special action for that.

Some example of person/action I have for some sticker:
Tiger Wood/Swinging a golf ball
Eric(my roomate)/Playing guitar
(my girlfriend)/Solving a rubik's cube.

So a 7 pieces cycle may look like:
(buffer piece +) Eric swinging a golf ball + Tiger solving a cube + My
girlfriend playing guitar.

Hopefully you understand, as english is not my first language.
