[Tortin]

things to get at the Motor City Open:
-a sub-11.97 3x3x3 single
-a sub-14.06 3x3x3 average
-no 3x3x3 speed DNF's
-less than 3 DNFs in 3x3x3 BLD solve

and...
-a sub-10.21 single at the Canadian Open or Vancouver Summer Open
-a sub-13.56 average at the Canadian Open or Vancouver Summer Open
-a sub-60 average on sq-1 at the Vancouver Summer Open

You're so precise! What are the reasons for these? I assume one is fastest female, and the other?

Yeah, I know. But there has to be a more efficient way than looking through the whole list for something like the fasted female cuber.

[waffle=ijm]

sub-14sec 3x3 avg
sub-4sec 2x2 avg

all before august

 

[crispy1337]

- Get 3x3 sub 20 average
- Get 4x4 sub 2 min average
- Convince my girlfriend to allow me to spend the money to buy the V-Cube set

Deadline June 1st because that's when I'm moving into my apartment and I won't have time to cube that much or money to buy new cubes which is where the last part comes in.

 

[soccerking813]

Goals:

-Learn full OLL
-Sub-25 seconds average of 12 (3x3)
-Sub-1 minute average of 12 (Square-1)
-Sub-15 average of 12 (2x2)

Deadline:
All: June 12 (Last day of school!)

I don't expect a whole lot of trouble getting these goals. The only one I see myself having trouble with is maybe the OLLs. It depends if I keep learning 1-2 a day or quit.

Future goals: (Far future)
-Buy megaminx, pyraminx, and some DIY cubes
-Sub-20 average of 12 (3x3)

Deadlines:
All- December 31, 2009

Shouldn't have a whole lot of trouble.

 

[SimonWestlund]

Goals:

-Learn full OLL

How many OLLs do you know?

 

[soccerking813]

I think I know a total of 10. All of the 2 look, both T shapes, and the one where you just need F R U R' U' F'.

 

[byu]

One of the T shapes IS F R U R' U' F'

 

[soccerking813]

Oh ya, sorry. I meant F U R U' R' F'

And I also know the algs where the corners are right, but two edges are unoriented. 1 case has 2 opposite edges, the other has two adjacent. That makes it 12. So only 45 more to go.

 

[SimonWestlund]

Good luck!

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Goal: Learn full ZB.
Deadline: WC 2011

[Escher]

End of month: Sub 17 3x3 average consistently.
End of year: Sub 15 3x3 average consistently
End of year: Sub-7 2x2 average
Get NZ NR for 3x3 and 4x4, and switch to UK cuber as soon as I get citizenship.

Johnny, you'll be sub 15 by july, seriously, and I think a week or two's *serious* practice at 2x2 would get you sub 6

And I'd keep an NZ cuber, you can have loads of NRs No offence, but I don't think that any of us have a chance of catching up with Breandan in 3x3 or 5x5...

 

[not_kevin]

Goals:
Top 100 on all events I compete in officially

Deadline:
4/11/2009 (Utah Cubing Open 2009)

Actually, upon looking at the top 100 single/averages, I don't think this is possible. Hokay, easier-to-get goals:

Goals:
Qualify for US Nationals cuts for all events I compete in.

Deadline:
4/11/2009 (Utah Cubing Open 2009)

Almost there... I competed in 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, OH, 3BLD, pyraminx, megaminx, sq-1, and magic. I have not qualified in 3BLD, 7, or magic. Dangit... now, goals are to get top-100 in all events listed here by US Nats.
