I was thinking of ways to train spatial intelligence and other skills, and this idea came to me. However, I’m not sure if it’s possible, so I’d like to ask for your opinion. The idea would be, let’s say, solving the Rubik’s Cube as it is normally done, using the beginner’s method, but without using any blindfold method. Instead, I would try to visualize the entire cube, you know, without actually looking at it
Has anyone of you already done this?

In a beginner blindfolded Rubik’s cube method, we solve each single piece at a time. And in advanced where we use commutators , more pieces at once.
What you’re saying is basically solving whole cube without even looking or blindfolded method. Around 5, 6 steps is manageable. But after that it’s gonna take massive concentration, like what F2L you have right now?, What OLL or PLL you are going to get?
Solving one F2L case even by beginner method, other pieces get moved at many places, we also have to track entire six side colors, at each move.
At this moment it sure is impossible. Try giving it some time, sometimes people do make impossible possible.

I understand, although I suppose a memory palace with 16 rooms for each piece instead of each color might work better. Considering that solving a cube takes around 50 moves, that would be about 750 items, or 16 items per room. Maybe there’s another way to approach it. Either way, thank you very much — your final part actually motivated me a bit. I’m not very skilled, but I’ll try something once I get another cube, since I think I’ve lost my current one good night

yeah i blindsolve under a minute on average. my best is 40 seconds flat. i did 4bld in 6 minutes and i do 5bld every now and then. m2/orozco for 3bld, and jperm’s tutorial for 4bld is awesome.

do not use a mind palace for 3bld. that is super slow lol. just do letter pairs and you’ll have 2 sometimes 3 composite pao-style images. then for corners you just do a short sentence
