3x3:

• Do my 2-look OLLs consistently (no forgetting the fish like in comp yesterday)
• Get my cross to be efficient enough so that inspection actually means something
• Get a speedcube

2x2:

• Finish learning that second layer
• Get times down so that if I compete in it I won't get DNFed in the middle

Date: June 30, 2017 (cause I have to study for that SAT Subject test at some point...)

OH
sub-40 average nope (40.58)

35 single yup (35)

Square-1
WR1000 avg (sub-29 it would be) nope (30.38, WR 1114)
sub-25 single nope (26.18)

Megaminx
Sub-3 average, if there's no cutoff. I'm sooo slow but Kinchranks are cool.
EDIT There will apparently be 2:00 cutoff, that's not gonna happen. 2:30 single then. nope (2:46.88 single)

4BLD

5BLD
success (not still sure if I'm gonna try it) yup (30:53)

MBLD
I'm gonna get some new cubes hopefully next Monday, then I'll practice more. My goal is to try 10-11 cubes and get 2 fails at max (hopefully just 1). yup (9/11)

So far I'm the only one registered for any bld (except 3bld) event. At least I'm getting some podiums.

And yeah, podium goals:

Singapore Special 2017

- Official average for everything I'm signed up for
- Get into the second round for something
- Megaminx: sub-2 average
- Squan: sub-35 average + stop being ranked last in the country for squan single (lol)
- 666: sub-3:40 average
- 777: sub-5:50 average

Spoiler: confidence estimates

Megaminx soft cut: 99%
Squan soft cut: 80%
666 soft cut: 80%
777 soft cut: 80%
(hitting soft cut on 666/777 is 95% guaranteed if my cubes don't pop and I don't mess up my parity algs, but those two things happen not infrequently, and there's only one chance to hit the soft cut)
Sub-2 megaminx: 70%
Sub-35 squan: 30%
Sub-3:40 666: 60%
Sub-5:50 777: 60%
Not NR-last for squan single: 90%
Second round for something: 0.001%

SCC Summer goals:

2x2: I'd really love sub-2 single and sub-3 average, but everything would have to go perfectly
3x3: Sub-8.5 single, sub-10.5 average
5x5: Use a method
OH: Don't care at all
Pyra: PB average
Clock: Don't care at all

SQ-1: Sub-17 single, Sub-22 average (not like the event will actually happen anyway)

 

[NewbieCuber]

I am completely new at this (just over one week). My goal is to have a 5 solve average of under 1:30. I've done a 1:22 single solve and I just finished a 1:24 single solve but I tend to average around 2:05.

I'd love to get there by the end of this month.
