I like to clarify one more point here. > First of all, it is only a beginning. To focus your attention in the initial period of learning to memorise a cube you are transforming the information. With more practice, slowly you will be able to focus your attention when you are memorising without transforming the information. Only experience will tell you that. > I think some of you like Leyan, Tyson, Macky, David Orser, Jean Pons and Chris Hardwick are all able to focus their attention and able to memorise without transforming and more importantly able to retain those ABSTRACT, INTANGIBLE information until they complete solving the cube. If you have already reached that stage, that is good. Still I strongly believe, once you master the P/A/O technique, it will be faster than the rote memorising. > > Secondly, By applying P/A/O method combined with a journey, you can memorise any number of cubes and solve them blindfolded. I don't think it is possible by rote memory or atleast P/A/O method will be faster than rote memory. > Has anyone using rote memory to memorise the cube, tried multi- cubes blindfolded except David Orser ?
