BIG MAYBES:

-ZBLL?
-COLL?

Wow... there's no way that's gonna be followed. No matter what your life's like, there's gonna be something or the other coming up and disturbing your "schedule".

Plus, it's kinda odd how you're gonna learn everything. 80% of my fridrich consists of self-found algos. You might wanna go that way. Relax (you might wanna extend that April and May thing) maybe learn a thing or two, but practise a lot, and explore the cube.
What do you average right now?

 

[Dene]

I agree, there is no point rushing it. You will not get much faster learning algorithms, you will get faster by practice. Also, I do not recommend learning the algorithms in such an order. Look for easier algorithms to start with. You will start to recognise patterns and such that will make memorising them easier, so starting with easier and working towards more difficult ones is definitely the way to go. I would also recommend starting with the algorithms where the edges are already oriented, then move onto the ones where there are no edges oriented (so you no longer have to do any 3 look OLL's).

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Don't set out "goals" for learning OLL. Just do them in any time period you want. It's not like learning all of them a little bit slower will adversely affect your times.

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

Another nice method to learning OLLs is learn the ones that you see the most frequently. When I used Fridrich there would be those OLLs that would constantly seem to pop up, and I got so mad that I decided to learn them so I could do them in 1 look instead of two.

 

[Kristoffer]

Learning OLL in 3 months is possible I learned them in 2/3 weeks..

 

[Jilvin]

I learn things very systematically. I set out the same type of time sheet for PLL and other 3 look algorithms over a two week time period, which ended just last week, and I only missed 2 G Perms. I think its fun to follow a specifically set date and reach the goals!

Notice the terms I set where I only have to learn 2 algs in a week. Its not like I wont have time in between to practise either. Learning algs while I can won't hurt either!

By the way, I average 25.61.

27.04 official competition average. (Minnesota Open)

 

[pjk]

I think those are very do-able. Learning 1 alg a day is a great pace. However, I wouldn't recommend working on ZBF2L algs yet. Wait and work on getting quicker times first. Good luck with it.

 

[badmephisto]

i learned algs 1 per day and that seemed good. i was done in no time.
dont set out goals, go with the flow

Faster way to memorize

This is what I did. I had all of these down in less than a week.

Memorize ZBF2L Case 1
Memorize the 6 OLL Algorithms that have all of the edges correct. These are easy- you probably already know some of them from your Corner Orientation.
Memorize the 21 PLL Algorithms. There are really only 13+2 inverses of the G permutation+6 mirrors

I'm getting 35ish average with this. You can still memorize everything on your list, but this order will get you a much faster start.
Hope it helps!
