Blog2016 ≫ I realised yesterday I had forgotten how to do the rubiks cube

SO I got the rubiks cube out again and it started coming back to me... Some of it I still don't know how I do it, can't explain it, but I learned it once and there is a lot of muscle memory going on. For some fo the later stages there are definite algorithms that I can explain, but for the early ones (first layer), no idea I just blag it still. That's why I'm not fast. For the next stage of dropping in the middle layer edges I just think of it is "this way thiis way, that way that way", but for the next there are the codes FRU RiUiFi (froo ree-wee-fee), RURi URUURi (rooree ooroo-ooree), and the most complex URUi LiU RiUiL (oorooee lee oo ree-weel).

Does this make sense?

I can't do it as fast as this machine
