(new)Goals as of 24th of May

- 3x3 - consistently sub 14 (that is, sub 14 avg of 100), learn lots of f2l algs, learn the rest of COLL, learn EJF2L, get better LL algs in general.
- 2x2 - learn EG Case 1 (sub 4 avg of 100)
- 4x4 - Get a Mefferts, consistent sub 1:10 averages of 12
- 5x5 - Get a V5, sub 2:10 averages
- BLD - actually practice, maybe learn M2. Times dont particularly matter (preferably sub 4)
- OH - actually practice, get a decent cube for it (aim for sub 26)
- Pyraminx - Actually learn a method, get a bit of practice in (sub 10)
- Megaminx - get an mf8, aim for sub 2:30
- Magic - get one, but I don't really care for it
- FMC - meh
(4x4 BLD - learn to solve one?)

If you hadn't guessed, these are all for UK masters:)

for UK Open...
- 3x3 - top 100 average
- 2x2 - top 25 average or better
- 4x4 - sub 55
- 5x5 - sub 1:45
- OH - sub 25
- BLD - sub 2:00

I'll have had about 20 weeks, mostly unemployed, from the end of exams to the UK open, I don't think these are too optimistic considering :p

im so happy you put an "or". it will take practice to be sub 4. when i used to use old pochmann i only got one sub 5. So i switched to M2 and average sub 3 :)

good luck! its nice to hear about peoples 1st succeses. Please try and get the solve on tape. i want to see the reaction

Sorry, meant to say my version of Old Pochmann, I guess. Or my new twist on Old Pochmann. The idea is to orient all the corners first, so you have easier setup moves.
