it seems pochmann's system does me well, well, to an extent. I'm still using cycles for the corners, but using his method for edges is nice. I don't like the...
... Not at all (I can't do BLD), so thanks for the ideas. What you describe might help: I don't like mnemonic tricks, but my memory of the position quickly...
Hey everyone, Lately I've been trying to work on using my memory in situtations where I usually wouldn't. For example I'm reading a book right now, and rather...
Hi Chris, I've been working on "one-pass" memorization for memorizing the permutation. Right now I'm a bit slower at it, but I see the potential the memorize...
I think i too have a similar situation. I basically suck at memorisation, i dont remember people's names even if im still talking to them and they had told me ...
Yup, thats the scale as it is defined, we had to remember this plus the valus of diff materials like the copper penny is abt 4or 5 something (dont remember ......
Talc = 75 gypsum = 6903 feldspar = 851094 topaz = 190 corundum = 74213 diamond = 1321. using phonetic sound and value system, any number can be converted into...
... converted into any meaningful word or vice versa. But here you have some meaningful words already (at least, I already have a notion of the relative...
You have to see this way. For example, if you have to permute edges in the order, say , 851094, instead of remembering so many meaningless numbers, you can...
... edges in the order, say , 851094, instead of remembering so many meaningless numbers, you can remember one meaningful word - feldspar- which will tell you...
Hi John, Unfortunately this is nowhere near fast enough for blindfold solving. If we want to memorize the cube in 40 seconds, we don't have time to transpose...
... That's just because you're a little sucker who thinks blindsolving is only for 3x3 ;-) C'mon, do a 4x4 or 5x5 blindsolve! You know you want it and you know...
It is possible to memorise the cube in 30 sec. Bernett is doing it in 40 to 60 sec. There is no need to convert at the time of memorising because all the words...
Hey everyone, I had my second successful 4x4x4 BLD solve today. The first time I did the 4x4x4 supercube and used a completely stupid and horrible method. It...
Great! Congrats But tell me one thing, you say twice that the 4x4x4 normal bld is difficult that the 4x4x4 supercube bld. hows that? or im i interpreting it...
Hey Sachin, I say the 4x4x4 supercube is easier for BLD since the centers have one set cycle that you can't change. Each piece can only end up in one spot, so...
... one ... doing ... Super 4x4/5x5 easier than normal 4x4/5x5? I completely absolutely totally agree! Having do decide and keeping track of which pieces ...
Respected Stefan uncle and Chris uncle, I have mastered the blindfod method taught by Stefan uncle for normal cube. I would have proved it in WC-2005, if...
Respected Stefan uncle and Chris uncle, And of course 56 pieces in 4*4*4. Bernett Orlando ... one ... doing ... Super 4x4/5x5 easier than normal 4x4/5x5? I...
I just did a 4x4x4 BLD solve that failed. I was close except I had about 5 center pieces out of place, and 4 edge pieces. I had also undid my very last...
... not ... YES! Not remembering whether I have to undo (Rr) or (r) has been a major pain for me in the past. So I decided to always just turn the inner layer...
Hey Stefan, I just attempted another solve and got it successfully! It took 56 minutes 53.36 seconds, which is about 42 minutes off my previous record :-D ...
... at ... Uh... I never ever attempted the 4x4. And the 5x5 only twice, once at Euro2004 and once at RWC2005. So I guess my statistics won't tell you much... ...
Hey everyone, I just did two solves right now, both were DNF but they're getting faster. The first one was 32 minutes but I had like 8 centers out of place and...
Of course you have our best wishes :) I really laughed when u said that the dnf's are getting faster :D Ofcourse i know what u meant but still, it feels funny....
I attempted 8 solves for 4x4x4 BLD today and all 8 were DNF's. Only one ended up completely scrambled (I messed up on my first step, solving corners) most of...
I totally know that feeling. When i was first trying 3x3x3 bld, there was noone here to watch my solves and tell where i went wrong, so after learning the...
