Mnemonics and the Rubiks Pegs

 Contents..

By using the Blokes system and images for alphabet letters A to X, the temporary state of the cube at different stages of the solution can be memorised. I also think that the mnemonic system where a digit is followed by a letter would be useful for memorising, in one image, the edge at the top blue face that needs to move to the middle tier; and which Tri-.. technique to use to do that. Eg. 1A could mean that the edge at position 1 needs the Tri-A move to make a green-sticker edge piece go to the middle tier.

Here is a suggested peg approach:

Peg No# Peg Name Comment
1 bath [Now the moves to move blue face edges of green hue to the middle tier] Eg. Top blue face edge 2 goes to mid tier using the Tri-A move
2 wall tiles Eg. letter 'O' image of an Ogre to mean: Rotate cube horizontally to reach the Orange face
3 shower partition Eg. Top blue face edge 3 goes to mid tier using the Tri-F move
4 mirror cabinet blank. Nothing to do. Or memorise 'N' "Negligent" image meaning "Nothing to do"
5 electric light [Now the moves to move green face edges of green hue to the middle tier] Eg. Bottom green face edge 2 goes to mid tier using the Tri-C move
6 toilet blank. Nothing to do. Or memorise 'N' "Negligent" image meaning "Nothing to do"
7 bin blank. Nothing to do. Or memorise 'N' "Negligent" image meaning "Nothing to do"
8 mat blank. Nothing to do. Or memorise 'N' "Negligent" image meaning "Nothing to do"
9 radiator Memorise the edges as they will be after all that set up: Eg. Blue Face Edge 1, after all that set up, is now the edge known as edge B
