It is always useful, if you are having problem to do a special case fast. When I felt that I couldn't find a good way for one case, I learned an algoritm.

How much should I practice to get really good? I average ~17 seconds and I want to get really serious with my practice. I've been trying to do 100-200 solves a day. Is that enough?

Yeah I know, read that through like three times. But incorporating that quality practice, is 100-200 solves enough to get sub-(I'm not sure)?

stackmat hole reinforcement
The holes for the timer are starting to wear and may rip anytime. Like the thinnest part of the mat by the hole?
Any ideas on how I can stop it??
-Thanks

I'm going to say no. Those algs are horrible (too many R2s). If you want nice short algs for any cases that you think you do really inefficiently then you can browse Macky's site (note: on his pictures the blue is the down face)

Just pull really hard. You may need a screwdriver or a knife to pry it open at first, and you can remove the lube from it with a towel if it makes the piece too slippery.

On 4x4 what is an ideal breakdown for reduction method? And 7x7?

I've gotten good, and people say I've done so pretty fast, and I do <50 solves a day.
Mind you, today I was off sick from school and did an avg300.
Don't bother putting a number on it; rather try to practice certain aspects and give yourself, for example, an hour to do so. Like today I did an hour focussing 15 mins on each of the four steps, then did some 4x4 then did my avg300. I recommend you don't simply solve repeatedly...

Mini dayan + MF8 4x4 HELP ~
well I've had my mini dayan 4x4 for nearly a week and I modded it but I don't think i really helped with the lock ups and turning of the outer layer nor the popping...
wondering if anyone has any decent mods for the outer layer and for popping...
I also noticed when I tighten the screws in the 2x2 core area, my outers layers never tighten and they feel like they have been loosened and my inner layers have only tightened....
help please ~

DNF means Did Not Finish. You get it if you didn't solve your puzzle, did'nt start/stop the timer correctly, inspected for over 17 seconds or cheated.
A +2 means that 2 seconds is added to your time, and you get it is when the puzzle is one quarter turn from being solved (45-135 degrees for 2x2-7x7 and square-1, 35-105 degrees for megaminx and 60-180 degrees for pyraminx (and skewb)), or you inspected for 15-17 seconds. +2 Does not exist for clocks that are one turn from solved. For magic it exists, but I don't know how it works fully...
This is'nt all of it, but I hope it's the more important. If you think I missed something, or want to read more, read the WCA regulations, at worldcubeassociation.org.
