I've got an entire set of PAO, each card has its own. I have a feeling I'm a step ahead. I did a whole deck in 17 minutes earlier, only because I was having trouble remembering which was which, and I got a couple confused occasionally (remembered JoC as Jackie Chan [jack of hearts] instead of Obi-Wan [Jack of clubs])
I just finished reading Moonwalking with Einstein. It's a great book and gives good experience advice. Check it out if you haven't read it already.
Once I get my sentences down I should be sub10. My 4x4 bld and just 3bld in general is really helpful because I don't have to train my memory as much - I already know how to do stuff like that (and do it a lot).

I'm OBSESSED with memorizing. I'm seriously considering going for Grandmaster of memory someday (memo deck of cards sub2, 10 decks in an hour, and 1000 digits in an hour). Being part of the KL7 would be pretty awesome as well, but I'm not sure that that'll happen and if it does it will be at least 6 years anyway (test to be part of KL7 - memo 49 digits, kiss 3 people, and drink 2 pints of beer in 5 minutes)

Yeah, I read it and that is what got me interested. Still gotta get around to creating a PAO system...

I mean you definitely don't NEED it for sub5. In the book didn't he say that he was the first american to be using PAO, but the record was still like 2:xy, wasn't it?
Anyway, did another 18 in 5 last night. I spent at least 2 minutes trying to remember what card had what PAO... If I drop the time that I spent trying to recall which was what (3 minutes) that's a rate at 1 image (3 cards) every 30seconds. That could be 30 cards then (10 images) in 5 minutes once I learn my PAO. And that's without memo time dropping at all.

I need more journeys though... I've got my house (use individual rooms in high detail occasionally), my karate studio, and a friends house.
What's your record so far?

[emolover]

My goal is to do an average of 12 on 4x4 and an average of 5 on 7x7 every other day. Then on days in between, to do an average of 12 on 5x5 and an average of 5 on 6x6. This will be for the rest of the summer.

Also hope to be by the end of 2012:
Sub 45 on 4x4
Sub 1:10 on 5x5
Sub 2 on 6x6
Sub 3:20 on 7x7
Sub 2.4 on 2x2

All the other events can suck it.

That's actually a really good practice schedules. I think I'm gonna adopt it ^_^"

I wanna be serious about cubing again but I don't know what to improve on. These are my averages with the events listed from favorite to least.

3x3 - 16-18 sec.
4x4 - 1:12-1:20
2x2 - 5.5 seconds, only use COLL algs
5x5 - about 2:55
3x3 OH - 45!
3BLD - I don't remember what I avg.. around 3 minutes and I forgot all of the 72 comms I knew.
Pyra - 9 seconds xD
MBLD - 2/2 almost every time, 9 minutes. 3 cubes has a lower success rate.
4BLD - 20 minutes with a very low success rate.
Sq-1 - had it for many many months and still haven't learned it.

What's the worst?

[PandaCuber]

Get to sub 1 4x4 with oblbl, before jaycee does xD

[5BLD]

3x3 is the worst

I can't find my post about sub-8 avg12 by the end of (iirc) this year but if I had posted that, I've achieved that. I think I posted that

agh. This sounds mad, but I've already done a few sub-8 avgs12.
Goal for UKO: sub-8 avg
Goal for end of year unofficial- sub-7 avg5, if I get that avg12.
Also I will get good at feet too.

OH is awful. You should be sub-27 with OH where you are at 3x3.
