2017 New Year's Resolutions / Goals

[Torch]

And feet right? : )))))

Why on earth would I switch from using 5 different moves to using 4?

3x3 Feet - sub-35 global, get NR or CR single or mean

IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG

Oh man, didn't think that would start anything. But I guess it has, so it's on.

GET THE NAR SINGLE
4BLD: Sub 3 single
5BLD: Sub 10 mo3, official success
FMC: suck less

learn better ZBLL algs, maybe learn full OLLCP (minus dot OLLs)
learn full EOLR

 

[AlphaSheep]

I'm going to be more thorough this time around.

Cubic puzzles:

• 2x2 - Practice recognition, average sub 6 at home
• 3x3 - global sub 16 average, sub 10 single at home
• 4x4 - Practice regularly, sub 1:00 average of 5 at home, sub 1:20 official average
• 5x5 - sub 2:30 average of 5 at home
• 6x6 - sub 5:00 average of 5 at home
• 7x7 - sub 8:00 average of 5 at home

3x3 variants

• One handed - sub 25 global average. Get that damn sub 30 average in comp.
• Feet - do a few solves from time to time so I don't forget how to do it.
• Fewest moves - If there's a chance to do it at a comp, find the time to practice like crazy and take the AfR single sub 30.

Non-cubic puzzles

• Pyraminx - I'm where I want to be for now. 7.xx official average would be nice
• Skewb - sub 7 official average would be nice but I'll prioritise pretty much all other events first
• Clock - convince other people to get clocks (hurry up Qiyi) and convince an organizer to hold clock. If there is a comp with clock, get a sub 20 average.
• Square-1 - If there's a comp, practice to get a sub 40 average. Otherwise probably just do enough some to not forget how to solve it.
• Kilominx - do an average of 100, practice occasionally in the hopes it eventually becomes official.
• Megaminx - Learn some algs and practice regularly. Sub 2:30 average sounds reasonable with lots of practice.
• Gigaminx - do an average of 5 in one sitting. Get sub 20:00 globally.
• Curvy Copter - Practice so that I can solve it smoothly from jumbled rather than fumbling around until I get it by pure luck.

Blindfolded events

• 3BLD - Practice advanced M2, get sub 2:00 at home, and hopefully a decent time in a comp
• 4BLD - Get a success at home
• MBLD - Convince an organiser that its worth it to hold MBLD and get 3 points officially.

Overall cubing goals

• Stay in the top 10 Kinchranks for Africa.
• Official results in 16/18 events.
• Keep up my current comp PB streak.

Overall my event priorities for the year are: 3x3 > 3OH > 3BLD > 4x4 > mega > FMC. The rest I will only practice occasionally or specifically for a comp, if I need that event to improve my Kinchrank.
