Fly down on Friday evening, fly up on Sunday evening. It's only a 60-90 minute flight.

Fixed.

I'm not worried about the fact that it's his birthday, but the fact that Zane's brother has the same birthday

Fun fact: Three Norwegian cubers have the same birthday. And by birthday, I literally mean day of birth (incl. year).

2 finnish people do too (spef / funktio). That's a good birthday to have.

I don't know whether I should practice big cubes or just 3x3. If everything goes to plan I should hopefully expand my puzzle collection a lot.
4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, pyraminx, megaminx and a magic.
At the moment I'm really just practicing BLD and OH.

 

[Faz]

Yeah, keep up the BLD - it's not that hard to get Aur

 

[Zane_C]

I will focus on BLD, but I don't think I'll get very far lol.

 

[Rubixcubematt]

OI . Don't worry, I will try to get a semi-decent time for you. Is ~1:30 good enough for you?

Lol, at the moment I don't have a chance. I currently average a bit over 3 minutes (excluding DNF)

 

[Cuber3]

I have been working on 5x5, and I'm getting a better 4x4, so my times on both of those puzzles are going down (or will go down, my 4x4 is still coming). I am also getting a megaminx, but I have no idea what I will average on that (I can solve it). And hopefully I won't totally fail at BLD.

 

[Luigimamo]

i'm practising OH loads for some reason,
also BLD and 5x5

i'm so going to fail 7x7 barely sub 10 minutes

Gonna have to go under 10 minutes because then the stackmat timer won't agree....

 

[Faz]

Err, guys this comp is ages away

 

[Zane_C]

Yeah I know, plenty of time to prepare.

 

[Innocence]

I REALLY want to go to this, but I have a feeling it will conflict in SO many ways.

Well, not too many, depending on the date.


What a productive use of a 200th post.

 

[Dene]

I strongly recommend that you do not participate in an event when you know you will be taking 10 minutes. All it does is slow everything down and inconvenience everyone else. Of course I couldn't stop anyone from doing at least one solve that slow, but I could easily say "sub7 or no more solves", if I were forced to. This wouldn't be a nice thing to do, but we have a competition to run and a schedule to keep to.

 

[Tim Major]

My goals for leading up to the comp (yes, I know it's ages away):
Get all PLLs sub 2.5.
Learn all of Polish V (priority).
Learn my OLLs (this depends on how learning Polish V goes).
Get sub 18 consistently on 3x3, sub 7 consistently on Pyra.

Edit: Sub 1:35 4x4 (priority)

 

[Luigimamo]

i might not compete in 6x6 and 7x7 because my cubes are so pop prone and
just cant be bothered practising that much to get sub 10

and im going to fail 5x5 if i dont get a new corner because somehow it just
broke off, I have managed to glue it on but its on an angle and i will just have to get a new corner, hopefully V Cubes support is as good as the times i lost 6x6 and 7x7 pieces

(thats what you get for taking big cubes to school eh?)

EDIT: Feliks i saw your video on youtube of the 8.65 second solve but was that a Z perm
if so could you post the alg because my current Z perm is terrible

ZB i have another goal for you LEARN SQUARE 1 PARITY
try to see how to square 1 changes its shape as its going through the alg with a bit of practise im sure you will get it!

 

[jianziboy]

my goal
3x3 SUB 30sec
4x4(if i compete)sub 2.15 min
5x5 sub 4 min
pyra sub 15sec
magic sub 1.10sec
master magic sub 4sec
2x2 sub 15 secs

Square-1 is stupid.

(btw, I re-learnt the alg, but then forgot it AGAIN. I don't like square-1 anyway.)

i don't like square1 too maybe a bit because it shape shifts
