Call Me Cray - Counting my 3x3 solves for 1 year!

Ok so,

This is probably the dumbest most stupid idea I've ever even considered going through with.. but that's kinda why I wanna do it.
I recapped on Zane's 1 year delayed 3BLD and whilst anticipating his result it got me thinking about crazy things you can do after new years. I made a joke in IRC that I should actually count every single 3x3 solve I do this year or something dumb like that.

Then I started thinking, why not!? I realize that this is an almost incomprehensible task and it will probably drive me completely mad after just a month or so, but I want to see just how long I can sustain it for

So just regular 3x3 solves would count. Even hand scrambles. Basically any occasion in which I solve a 3x3 from a random state or a state that requires me to use my own methods to complete the solve. At home, in public, at meets/comps.. every single one!

I've thought about hosting Prisma from the internet so that I can use it wherever I go and whenever I don't have Prisma (Meets/Out and about), I will use a hand clicker to keep track of every single solve.

I'd be interested to hear your predictions also. Based on 200 solves per day, that would result in around 73,000 solves in a year. I thought it would be a lot more! But hey, I did an avg600 the other day after getting carried away, so who knows what the number could be!!

Looking forward to everyone telling me how crazy/insane/nuts I am and how long you think I'll actually keep this thing going before giving up

SOLVES SO FAR: 4467

PLL Skips: 79

OLL Skips: 32

LL Skips: 0

I saw your crazy session the other day, this sunds like a fun idea, sadly I've already done some solved today so I can't do this good luck!

Looking forward to it. Good luck!

I have done like 60000 solves maybe

This sounds interesting. I think you should post updates every so often... maybe once every few weeks? Or once every 5k solves? Maybe I'll try this too although I didn't keep track of all the ones I already did today.

Guess you could start from tomorrow and end on the 2nd Jan 2015 so that you get a 100% accurate result.

Would this just be normal 3x3 or would it included OH, BLD, feet and FMC?

Just 3x3 sighted two handed solves.

I debated as to weather to include OH or BLD, but seeing as they are classed as separate events (and I don't practice/do OH except for at comp), I felt that they should not be counted.

I've also decided that the OP would be the best/easiest/most secure place to keep my running total.

Sounds fun, I might try

Hi Cray.

Have fun Cray!

You could use SpeedCube Timer when away from the computer if you have an Android phone, it allows you to export your times in a format (can't remember which) that can be imported into Prisma easily. Not got a clue what's out there if you're rocking an iPhone though!

I'm going to start counting the number of solves you forget to count at meets =P

Wow good luck :tu

I would say good luck, but obviously you don't need any more

Haha yeah! I thought that was pretty good going!

I think the skip stats will be some very interesting data.

I plan to join you on this. Starting from today, then I'll go to Jan 2 2015. Maybe if we get a few more people on board we could have a little unofficial competition As A side ntoe I've had 7 LL skips in my time cubing, so I assume I've done about 100,000-125,000 ish solves.

So far this year:

Solves so far: 22

PLL Skips: 1
OLL: Skips:
LL Skips: 0

PB Lucky: 9.32 (PLL)
PB Non-lucky: 10.83

I'm not going to count PLL/OLL skips. I am going to include OH and BLD for mine... basically count all 3x3 solves. I don't do feet and I almost never do BLD and hardly any OH (at least not recently)... sometimes I play with other methods like Roux so counting skips would not exactly work.

I'll include yesterday because I did very few.

SOLVES SO FAR: (see sig)

im doing it!
