I'm working on learning Old Pochmann, I'm going to get edges down and be completely comfortable before I move onto the corners. Yesterday, I could only manage 2 edges, today, I not only mastered 3, but 4! It's a great feeling being able to do this; I can't wait until I can manage full solves.

EDIT: I now have 5 edges down!

 

[Keroma12]

3:20.41 only 6 seconds off PB, which was slightly lucky. This had 1 edge solved I think.

Edit: turns out to be second ever average of 5

Average: 5:12.62
Standard Deviation: 1:24.15 (lol)
1. (3:20.41)
2. 7:41.98 - messed up memo soooo badly, had to restart at 2:00 with different location for memo
3. 3:26.79
4. (DNF [3:40.66]) - 2 flipped edges
5. 4:29.10

Edit: New PB: 3:09.80 First weekly scramble.

 

[uberCuber]

new 3BLD PB of 2:07.50
2 edges were already solved

Nice job, Zane!

I thought it'd be fun to write down my BLD goals for the new year:
- sub-40 3x3 solve (lucky or not)
- sub-10 4x4 (on stackmat) I'm sure I'll get this one soon, but that's my goal for now
- sub-20 5x5
- learn and switch to BH corners

In competition:
- sub-1 3x3
- sub-10 4x4
- sub-30 5x5
- 4/4 multi BLD

You should aim higher
You will get really good at bld if you keep practising. I did 4bld just before the New Year last time around, and could only do 2/2 multi in 16 minutes. So my aims were like 6/6 multi and sub10 4bld. Clearly those were far too easy

 

[aronpm]

I thought it'd be fun to write down my BLD goals for the new year:

My goals:
- sub-30 3bld (non lucky)
- sub-3 4bld
- sub-8 5bld
- sub-60 7bld (such a big gap there, lol)
- finish learning all the edge cycles

In competition:
- sub-40 3bld
- sub-4 4bld
- sub-10 5bld
- 16/16 (or more) multi BLD

hehe, those competition goals seem a bit hard

 

[Mike Hughey]

My goals:
- sub-60 7bld (such a big gap there, lol)

That's just silly. With your skills, I'd guess it will take you 3 or 4 tries at most, with no practice in between, to get sub-60, and you might get lucky and get it first try. Sub-60 is easy, even for me. Sub-45 is at least something of a challenge. (I bet even sub-30 isn't all that hard for you.)

As for the rest of your goals, what can I say, you're simply amazing.

 

[Slash]

My goals:
sub-1 3x3 in competiton
sub-5 4x4 (and NR in competition so sub7)
sub-15 5x5 in competiton
6x6
7x7
10+ multi in competition (but at least 9 in sub-Pitzu)

 

[RyanReese09]

4 minute some accomplishment last night while drunk. For some reason my roman room images were so clear-though concentrating to make the images was tough.
My goals
Sub2 3x3x3 BLD in comp
Successful multi attempt in comp (I think only nationals will have that and I don't know how good I'll be)
Successful 4x4x4 in comp
Perhaps successful 5x5x5..it's same logic as 4x4x4..but yeah

 

[riffz]

My goals:

Average around 1 minute for 3BLD
Actually practice 4x4 and 5x5 BLD

 

[Kynit]

Oh, why not?

3x3 sub 2:30 or maybe 2:00?
4x4 BLD solve... but I need a 4x4 first!
5x5 BLD solve?
Actually learn BH corners

 

[kinch2002]

My goal:
Decide whether I actually like bld, and if I do, practise a bit more seriously

let me help you decide: you do like it and you're so good at it that you should practise (and not forget any M2 moves)

 

[Keroma12]

Alright, some goals (at home/in competition):
3x3 - sub2:30/sub3:30
4x4 - sub20/sub25
5x5 - sub60/success
multi - 5/3

Only been to one competition so far, back when I was averaging 40 sec on 3x3 (sighted) lol

 

[RyanReese09]

First ever attempt at multi, and I succeeded! I stopped the timer at 32:40.78 though I was talking for like 20 seconds before I stopped it. Woops.
2/2. Triple checked my memo. Also didn't help I am sleep deprived. I only have 2 rooms setup and I had to squeeze everything in.

Could have been much faster. Was distracted. Caught at least 2 mistakes and I feel good about me being able to recall a memo which as you see in the video I was having trouble with
As I pick up the first cube I started doing edges-though my memo was supposed to be for corners. Caught that. And at 6:30 I begin having trouble with the first memo thing I had for edges. Forced through that.

At 7:40 I thought I knew my memo. Was 90% sure on it.

First ever attempt at multi, and I succeeded!

Wow! You're improving a lot faster than I am! (probably due to my lack of practice) I find multi very difficult, but nothing seems to stop you

 

[HelpCube]

Solved all edges BLD and got 2 corners solved for me. 2nd time ive gotten all edges. I have no idea what to do for corners, I can't figure anything out that doesn't involve memorizing numbers or letters, as I cant memorize that stuff. Can anyone help?
