Hmmm, I will try one today and see what happens. I'm totally chuffed that you like them :) @Sari – re: making you have to go wrong and focus – I’m suddenly thinking that I really should be trying these out too at the moment given my struggle to make myself go fast enough to get flummoxed.

Duh. Sorry. :) Talk about preconceptions making your life difficult. It's interesting to have another sequence for a level, though. With the first two, you get into the pattern and it automates, but with this level, you get two dimensions of difficult: the non-repeating formula itself and then the choice between which non-repeating formula you're doing. Case in point: in your first sequence, my arms want to continue forward after the transquarter, and I have to focus to not do the original pattern. Focus and mistakes. Brilliant. :) <abbr><em>Sari’s last blog post..<a href="http://insightings.wordpress.com/2008/12/16/four-life-lessons-from-my-sister/" rel="nofollow">Four Life Lessons from my sister</a></abbr></em> “Looking at where your arms are after each of these 4-move combos for the first starting position gives us the pattern:

The only pattern that's common to all three versions (the original, and my two made up ones) is the 4-symmetry, so the individual cycles won't fall into the same places. The idea was just to come up with something that when repeated four times would get you back to the starting position, without getting there after fewer cycles of 4 (both the original and at least one of mine do go through the starting position during one of the individual cycles). I would love to know what your experiences with these are! @Sari – At least I know there’s one person out there giving it a go!

Thank you for totally making my brain go "huh?!?!" today! It took a few times before I got it right in the H1-V1 starting position. Obviously I had to try both of them as soon as I could. :) What threw me a few times was that the individual cycles didn't always end in 1-3 -positions, although the 4x4 cycle did end in the starting position H1-V1. Got over it, though, once I got the 4x4 done and was safely back where I started. I wonder if it was just me doing it wonky or if it happens for other people as well. I have a feeling these will become a part of my mornings for the next few weeks… :) <abbr><em>Sari’s last blog post..<a href="http://insightings.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/perfectionism-pessimism-fear/" rel="nofollow">Perfectionism, pessimism, and fear</a></abbr></em> Woo hoo!
