john's road to mogging you all

[Jacob Jacobsen Dampe]

Good luck, i average about the same in most of these events, so you kinda made me lock in.

 

[Thomas.Caleb]

Its been too long...
Its time to do what john does best and mog you all
I am entering my second last year of highschool - Year 10 (Grade 9 for those in US)

So I obviously have a number of goals to do by then - because no one actually does anything without a deadline.

2x2 - Sub 4
3x3 - Sub 12
4x4 - Sub 45
5x5 - Sub 1:30
6x6 - Sub 2:30
7x7 - Sub 4
Skewb - Sub 4
Pyra - Sub 5
Clock (idc that its getting removed) - Sub 10
OH - Sub 30
Megaminx - Sub 1:30
Squan - Sub 30
3BLD - Sub 1:30 mean, Sub 1 single.

Idc about singles.
Most of these averages are actually what I considered to be my goal when I first started cubing.

U need to go brampton

 

[That0newe1rdo]

U need to go brampton

Yeah IK

Good luck, i average about the same in most of these events, so you kinda made me lock in.

Yeah, will probably make it more realistic to the time I have though (not alot)

dang i don’t have that much time at all, hope you improve quickly. I want you to with all the time your putting in!!

tysm bro

Will realistically go for like an ao5 AT least in every event a day, then as I get faster change it to a ao12 and so on.
I dont have enough time to consistently practice each event, so starting small will definitely work better.

Busy for rest of this week, so will not prioritise this till Monday or smth.

 

[That0newe1rdo]

OK so Im going somewhere for weekend but here are all the ao5s i have done so far today :

2x2 - 5.946, 4.155, 4.736, 3.294, 4.595 (4.495 ao5)
3x3 - 18.709, 15.946, 19.347, 12.437, 15.372, 20.146 (16.888 ao5 , kinda bad ngl)
Skewb - 5.448, 6.043, 8.069, 4.251, 7.259 (6.250 ao5, alright considering I havent done it much).

Will edit when (if) I do more events

Have u reg for bramptom

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Have u reg for bramptom

no cause I need to wait for my dads car to get fixed before I can consider going

I picked up my 4x4 main, the qiyi m pro v2, and realised that the inner slices are very annoying due to the magnet strength.

My aosu v7 (single track) has much better inner slices, but suffers from being too slow for my liking. Lubing it has not improved this to a noticable amount.

Are there any mods or something that can increase my Aosu's speed without me having to loosen the puzzle ? I like how compact and controllable the cube is with default tensions.

(edit - I could get the warrior 4x4 but apparently it doesn't feel like the 5x5 to 7x7, all of which have the perfect feeling and speed etc for me)

You end high school at Year 11?!? We end at Year 13 in New Zealand.

You end high school at Year 11?!? We end at Year 13 in New Zealand.

Yeah, but in the UK we are still legally required to undergo some form of education till the age of 18 (college, apprenticeship, 6th form etc). It allows for more freedom in choosing a career and such I guess.

18/8/26 - All ao5s from today are for SS weekly.

2x2 - 4.62 ao5
3x3 - 16.15 ao5
4x4 - 1:12.14 ao5 - Need a new one, maybe the Picube aosu ?
5x5 - 2:22.39 - No where near PB ao5, but I'm really proud of it.

PB !!!!!
MEGAMINX PB (and SSPR) AO5 - 2:09.54 (by 6 seconds) !!!!!


Bottled solve 1 and 5 in CP - put a corner in wrong place - so shouldve had 2 Single SSPRs, or at least 2 sub 2s.

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Weirdly, I seem to have less time to cube in the holidays.
Must be because I might be doing something during the day, as that is far less likely in school.

 

[That0newe1rdo]

OK final time changing how im gonna attempt this (ofc theres no guarantee I achieve my goals).

Every week I HAVE to compete in :

2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, Skewb , Pyra, Clock, OH, Megaminx , Squan , 3BLD.

This would help make sure I do not fall behind in other events when focusing on others.

All other events in the weekly are ones I do not care about enough to ensure I partake in them.

Every week I change up what event I will be focusing on - I will do the most practice in that.
I think just doing all events at once makes it more difficult to improve in the others.

I might swap events every 2 weeks, since there are 96 weeks between the Monday I start yr10, and the Monday after I graduate yr11.

Wont stick to this thing until August 31st, the Monday on the week I start Year 10 (although I dont go to school until Thursday the 4th)

 

[That0newe1rdo]

I did my first EVER 6x6 ao5 !



Also did my first timed 7x7 solve in over 431 days !

​

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Been a bit.
Been focused on 3x3, but not alot of progress.
Decided to focus on 1 event for the month but try to do as many events in weekly as I can.
Im switching events every 1st of the month, but focusing on ones in the competition below as there is no way Im missing it.

FTO in Newcastle 2027 | World Cube Association

[That0newe1rdo]

note

I do not think I will enjoy 7x7 at ALL, so for my own sake I will be dropping it.

tbh, i do not think I will reach any of my goals, but I think dropping 7x7 will help.
I do not want to practice it for a whole month even though I will naturally get better at it when doing 4-6
