It wasn't the magnets. When I took it apart, there was a piece that fell off of the front. I then reglued it, but because you could feel the difference between the small chipped piece and the rest, it was illegal. Its not illegal if its on the side, but it is if its on the face. I know of 2 other people that had the same problem.

Sorry to hear about that, but hopefully next time that does not happen.

Have a comp in 18 days and I am kind of getting good at 6x6, Just bought the shadow and in one week my average dropped from 3:20 to 2:50, so I hope I can at least be sub 2:35 until next comp to get 4th at National Ranking, I don't know if it is doable but I will try to do it.

goals before my next comp

sub-10 ao12 on 3x3
sub-30 ao12 FMC
any successful 3BLD ao12 xd
 
From the last time I posted here:

Learn one-look last bar for 6×6×6. ← learnt the near and far sets at some point, but I keep forgetting and mixing them up
Learn all the diag-CP ZBLL cases. ← finished learning most of diag-T and some diag-S/AS algs I guess
Become sub-15 global for 3×3×3, sub-50 global for 4×4×4. ← yes and sorta
Become colour neutral too, I guess. ← soon(tm)
Do more God's number upper bound computations. (The current megaminx bound is like 190 moves from five years ago; I'd bet at even odds that I can drop it to 120 or lower unless lolben beats me to it. This looks like really, really low-hanging fruit.) ← not yet
Code a better big cube solver. ← yes!!

And more goals for the upcoming comp (FMC SEA):
- wake up on time yes
- find the place on time sorta
- 28 single / 29 mean not even a sub-30 single this time, rip
- podium (tfw I'm not even among top 3 seeds) lol sixth

e: at least I'll still have NR2 single/mean for a while longer I guess

By the end of the year (2 normal comps, 1 fmc comp):

3BLD NR single, preferably sub-30
If I'll try to rush a lot, I don't probably expect a mean, but that'd always be better (I already got the mean NR after all)

5BLD NR (9:48) or at least a sub 11 success

MBLD 20 points NR officially and get at least 28 cubes sub-hour

Main goal: #1 in Finnish kinchranks, I'm 3 points behind Reto, 5bld should easily get me 2-2.5 points and then then I don't need a lot more. I could improve at least my clock, oh and squan avgs without a lot of effort and my 6x6 and 7x7 times are complete trash so a bit of grind and I could improve quickly.

addition: Continue my pb streak, that means I should get a good fmc result at the fmc comp.
 
I don't think I actually posted goals here, but the Big Cheese 2019 just finished, and it went really well.
The goals that I would have posted:

Event: single/average, other, bonus

3x3: 9.57/11.25, top 10, sub 11 average

Megaminx: 55/<60, podium

Feet: 40/44, win, top 100 results


and my results were pretty good!

3x3: 8.52/11.15, 7th, no

Megaminx: 52/58, 3rd

Feet: 35.4/44.66, won, 97th for both

And I got 7th place for KinchCheeseRanks, so I got a large block of mild cheddar cheese!
Overall a fantastic competition.
