CG’s Progression Thread—BIG NEWS!!!—Competition on Saturday (3x3 in 303)

[Cubist-Guitar]

Do you want to race to Sub-4 7x7 Ao5?
I average slightly slower than you on average, but I have a similar PB single (I got a 4:09.89 single today!)

Yeah, why not. 7x7 is fun for me, and I would love to be sub 4 soon

 

[Splenj]

Shall I make a thread, and we just put achievements on there when we get them?

Finally convinced my cubing friend (let’s call him @jburrito75 to finally learn EG-1 (Look at me, spreading the 2x2 gospel).

Context: He convinced my to learn EG-1 back before I made my account (January of this year) and I learned 20-25 algs before he told me he hadn’t learned any.

For motivation, I have a very silly Pinocchio hat lying around. If he doesn’t know full EG-1, he has to wear it during 2x2 rounds

I will repeat this challenge if it is successful for my only other cubing friend that I have personal contact to and hasn’t learned EG-1
