I recently learned to solve blindfolded and can speak 8 languages. So a great variety of words come up in my mind in many languages for every series of letters both for corners and edges.
These two activities help with tracing and memorizing quickly: Memo corners/trace edges/solve corners And Trace corners/memo edges/solve edges/solve whatever visual I can remember for corners ^^helped me get sub 40 after averaging 55-1:00 the week before.
I generally keep track of pieces by going through the layers in my head, so look at the top layer and look if every piece is in some way in my memo and and repeat for the two below. Sounds slow but after you get a feel for it at my stage it's really not worth working on

Just did one trace test. 12 sec trace. meanwhile: Memo = 0:45 (I think most of this comes from trying/struggling to visualise corners) On another note, I am at the stage where I intuitively know if there are untraced pieces left. I didn't memorise the formulas at the start of my blind journey because I found calculating it took unnecessary attention away from my 3BLD solve (also, I couldn't be stuffed :D).
I don't usually keep track of edges because it sort of blocks my field of view and distracts me by deciding which is the most optimal finger to use to put on each sticker lol.... So I just seem to be able to memorise which edges I've done, also I usually count how many letters I've memorised, to help me figure out if I've possibly missed a cycle and if there's parity Corners are pretty straightforward since there aren't as many
hi Jack, what is a typical prorgress curve/chart for your memotime? How long will it take to get down to 1-2 min in memorizing? maybe i am getting to old for that (41y). I am sruggling to get faster. I do letterpairs/speffz and M2/OP. My method is: each number has an image. For example: 1 is a tree, 2 is a computer, 3 is a farmer/animals, 4 is a vehicle and so on. Than I attache my 2Letter images to each position. I have a line in my head up to the number 30. It works quiet well for me. I have started 5 weeks ago with M2OP. When I want to be 100% sure to solve the cube correced, than I need more than 15 min. When I speed up, I can do it in maybe in less than 8 min and solve them 50% of the time correct. My 3x3 normal avarage is around 25sec/100 (Roux solver). My question is: When will it get more natural to memorize the cube? I have done maybe less than 100 blind solves so far. And by the way, great channel and best greetings from south Germany
Hi Erwin, of course the answer is that it depends on a lot of factors/how you define 'natural' but in terms of how you can improve your speed the most based off the info you've given me, lean towards those faster less accurate attempts (the accuracy should generally rise up over time although even 50% is fairly ordinary for blindsolvers though). Just to clarify, what does the "1 is a tree, 2 is a computer" etc. part refer to? (sounds like you're using those as locations for your letter pairs?).
@@JackCaiCubing Hello Jack. Thanks for the answer. I try to explain my "number system" for each letter pairs. I give u an example: CI LU BC AT aso... The CItrus Tree, My Computer has Linux Ubuntu, They have a Black Cow, I like Audi TT and so on. The problem is. with this method the letter pairs stick quite strong into my memory. So i have to use for each solve a different set of numbers. my first solve is 1-9, my second solve will be 10-19 and the third solve 20-30. And my letterpairs do vary from position to position. I know that makes it difficult. I do AT for example: (1 Tree) aple tree, (2 Computer) ATaria, (3 farmer/animals) (alte Tenne, its German for old shed) and so son.. I guess I have to stick to one image for each letter pair and put them into an excel sheet. It is hard for me to put an Audi TT to a tree... or the linux system runs on Audi TT... but i will give it a go. I would be very happy, to get my memotime down to 1-2 min. another question. Do you think your blindsolve helps you in normal live? Has your memory improved for all the other things? School, work, study? my big hope is, that blindsolving will help me with my study for machine engineering which i do here part time next to work. Greetings from south Germany, Erwin
For big blind, I always use my list of letter pairs do help me to make images during the solve. What do you think about doing me this? I find it near impossible to do big blind without it.
That's totally cool as long as you practise using them in solves and to ensure that you're gradually improving the time it takes to recall the letter pairs.
While practicing the formula, I noticed that the formula number can change back and forth a bit while the number of letters I memorize obviously increases.Is the memo done when the number I get using the formula matches the number of letters I have memorized?
Hey, it's better that you don't start learning 3 style now, as many people recommend that you need to learn it only when you start avging around sub 1. Just sharing the information what I have got over time, but it completely comes down to your own choice. Hope this helps :)
You better improve memo first: 3-style will work better if your memo is pretty fast. Of course, nothing wrong with learning 3style right now, but you'll see better results with a better memo
There are varying opinions on this topic, and while I think some other fast blinders recommend switching as soon as you want to become serious with 3bld (like reach sub 30 and beyond), I personally think that moving down to around 1 min first then switching would be better (so that you have solid fundamentals in place for when you start doing 3-style solves)
Yo jack, I suggest u write a script first before making a tips vid like this, I honestly have a really hard time trying to get what on earth ur saying, it’s pretty evident that u kinda also dunno how to explain tracing that well, so maybe if u write a script first u at least can organise ur thoughts first and see whether ur content is comprehensible
I think an easier way to explain it is that tracing is like the physical aspect of memo, whereas interpreting the memo is the mental aspect.

No wonder Australia has so many bushfires.

yeah people general seem pretty cool with corners, it seems to be in edges where things get more interesting
Drink everytime he says memo
Thanks so much Jack!
Okay seems I don't have this problem, multi helped with that. Just my audio is bad lol

Still watched this video even though I don't do BLD. Really helpful for BLDers
Can you make how to memo for m2/op solver im struggling to know if there any pieces that is not memorized yet
I'm thinking of doing some walkthrough solves focusing on this, particularly for edges so look forward to those 👍
For big blind, I always use my list of letter pairs do help me to make images during the solve. What do you think about doing me this? I find it near impossible to do big blind without it.
That's totally cool as long as you practise using them in solves and to ensure that you're gradually improving the time it takes to recall the letter pairs.
I keep track of peices with fingers but revolve 4 fingers from a face I have complected all the edge /corner pieces for so I have enough fingers
I use tracing when the edge memo is hard.
My Hair and your hair is almost the same. Lol
#QuarantineLife
hahah all dem hair comments
dat quarantine hair
So for edges i use audio, corners i do visual, for centers im trying to decide: smells or tastes? What do the top blinders use?
touch is the current meta
While practicing the formula, I noticed that the formula number can change back and forth a bit while the number of letters I memorize obviously increases.Is the memo done when the number I get using the formula matches the number of letters I have memorized?
I used to use gluetack but now im really confident that i dont need it
Good tips yo!
So your saying read all the letters and try to figure out where everything has to go but dont wirry about retaining the info right?
Thx
What is your best blindfolded?
What is your experience with the wrm 3x3
it can be kinda fast but it's nice 👍
I can't understand anything
I am averaging about 2 min 15 sec with m2.
Should I start learning 3style? Also love your videos. 😃

It’s really your decision because personally I switched when I averaged 6 mins and had no problem with it.
