Goals for the end of a summer:
2x2: Sub-5.7
3x3: Sub 28
4x4: Sub 2:00
5x5: Sub 4:30
Pyraminx: Sub 10
To learn about half OLL's and full PLL's
To learn 1/4 of CLL's

I don't think anyone else has attempted this before and I hope to be the only person to know full EG-2.

I might just try to beat you to it.

 

[Hssandwich]

I might just try to beat you to it.

Really? Damn.

 

[Bindedsa]

Really? Damn.

Depends on how slow you go. I'm consistent about learning algs, but I'm not fast.

I learnt 4 today, in around an hour, but I am not normally that fast.

Well, I've learnt 3 in about 15 minutes, but I'm not sure if I'm happy with the finger tricks, which will require some playing around.

I didn't make the algs very fingertrickable because I didn't think anyone would actually learn it
I'm definitely going to change the diagCLL+U algs to make them better, and I might do it for EG-2 because it's easier now that I have algorithms already. I won't start until after Nationals, though.

I'd be happy to gen them with you.

Planning within the next couple of hours to attempt a ZZ solve...blindfolded. Yes, 1-looking a ZZ solve. I will record everything on camera and will upload the result to my youtube channel. Win or fail, this will be interesting. Plans:

1. I will probably do an EOCross instead of an EOLine (I normally do EOLine). The reason is because while it is not as efficient, memorizing blockbuilding would be a nightmare.
2. Pure OCLL. This should assist in PLL recognition.
3. Slow turning. Eliminates odds of a mistake during execution.

I will return within the next 2 or 3 hours.

EDIT 1: First attempt was a complete failure. Realized at the end of F2L memo (about 15 minutes in) that I completely screwed up. I cancelled the attempt and did an execution, but of course, it failed. I will try again (still using ZZ) in a bit. That was tiring.

EDIT 2: Second attempt was a complete failure. Realized at the beginning of OCLL recognition (about 20 minutes in) that I completely screwed up. I cancelled the attempt and did an execution, but of course, it failed. I will try again (still using ZZ) tomorrow. I want to sleep, and I have a headache. Extremely disappointing, but I know I can do it.
