Make my YouTube videos better, 100 subscribers,.
Figure out how to solve at least 5 more puzzles on my own without a tutorial
Get to a competition

Deadline: January 1, 2014, for all except going to a comp which can't be helped if I can't go.

I will do an update in 3 months.

well this is old hahaah

3x3 lol no

[IRNjuggle28]

Checking in on my goals:

Goals for this summer:
Learn the easy OLLs.
Get a successful BLD solve.

Learned 31/57 OLLs. Haven't tried BLD.

Conservative goals for the end of 2014:
6 second global 2x2
16.xx global 3x3 average
Sub 1 global 4x4 average
sub 1:50 global 5x5 average
3:40 global 6x6 average
5:00 global 7x7 average
Learn full OLL except maybe the dot cases, better PLLs when needed, full 5x5 L2E, and 7x7 L2E algorithms when possible.

Haven't practiced 2x2 really at all ever = no.
16.45 3x3 AO100; 17.xx global = On track to get there.
1:00.58 4x4 AO12, 1:03.xx AO100 = On track to get there.
Sub 1:51 5x5 AO100 = On track to get there.
Sub 4:00 global 6x6 = no. I just don't practice 6x6 because my cube is so bad. Nevertheless, I'm lowering the goal to 3:30 because 3:40 is lame.
5:03.xx AO12 = maybe. I'm practicing 7x7 a lot more now.
Learned more than half of OLL and still going. Need to learn a new alg for one of my A perms, and N perms, and maybe some other stuff. Learned some 5x5 L2E cases, and I'll plan to finish it up by the start of school.

Good luck! Also, I added a little goal for you there at the end lol :tu

First I need to get a 7x7 Maybe I'll ask for one for my birthday

 

[ryanj92]

Well I beat the second and third goals, so not a bad month for me

August goals:
- Relearn SQ-1 parity CP, get sub-30
- Sub-6.5 pyraminx ao100
- Practise red and orange cross on 3x3 so i can actually be CN

I somehow got an official sub-6 pyra average so I'll count that as a success?
Probably gonna give up on CN, it's been fun and has made me think about my f2l a bit, but in the long run i don't think it's gonna be worth it...

Gonna be away for the next few days so may as well set some goals now for September:
- Learn the rest of the 1-flip cases for pyra, practise solving tips first and last to try and work out what i prefer
- Go for sub-6 ao100 (it's on, James )
- Get better at sq-1 cubeshape

 

[IRNjuggle28]

Goals for this summer:
Learn the easy OLLs.
Get a successful BLD solve.

Learned 34/57 OLLs, so yes.
Did not get a blindsolve. Or come close, or ever attempt it. All I really did was maybe 30 minutes of sighted solves with M2/OP, and I don't know full M2 or how to deal with parity or a lettering scheme. Maybe I'll do a speedBLD before the end of summer just to succeed.

Conservative goals for the end of 2014:
6 second global 2x2
16.xx global 3x3 average EDIT: 16 global, and 15.xx AO100. Edit: 15 global
Sub 1 global 4x4 average
sub 1:50 global 5x5 average
3:40 global 6x6 average EDIT: 3:30 global
5:00 global 7x7 average
Learn full OLL except maybe the dot cases, better PLLs when needed, full 5x5 L2E, and 7x7 L2E algorithms when possible.

Haven't done any 2x2 whatsoever, and don't expect to until I get a 2x2 that doesn't suck. And maybe not even then. Also don't plan to learn more than Ortega and intuitive CLLs.
Am not 16.xx global on 3x3 yet, but got a 15.51 average of 100. Which room I'm in/how good the lighting is really makes a lot of difference. I would say that I am on track for this goal, so I upped it to a 15.xx global average.
Best average of 100 is 1:01.47, and I have gotten sub 1 averages of 12, so I am on track to reach sub 1 by 2015.
Best average of 100 is 1:48.30, so I'm on track to be sub 1:50 by 2015.
Still haven't done 100 6x6 solves in my life. PBs for AO5 and AO12 are 3:31 and 3:36 respectively. Could reach sub 3:30 by 2015 if I practice, which I likely won't.
7x7 PB AO100 is 4:59.23, but I've improved a lot over those 100 solves, and I would say that I'm easily sub 5 when in a room with good lighting. PB AO5 and AO12 are 4:28 and 4:37. I've reached the goal.

In summary, reached 7x7 goal, on track to reach 3x3-5x5 goals, and could reach 2x2 and 6x6 if I practice.

 

[mns112]
