Cubing Goals You Accomplished Over The Summer

[Ryan13]

I've only been speedsolving for the past month, but I've made some big improvements.

-Got my average down from 2.30 to ~57.
-Got a PB of 48.66
-Got a 4x4 and 5x5 and figured them out myself, like kickinwing, and I did the same thing with using my 4x4 as a 2x2(I really want to order a real 2x2)
-Learned the Keyhole method in the past 2 days(thanks to Arnaud's video)
-Started learning two look OLL and PLL, I've learned 11 of the 16 algorithms.
-Did a couple Roux and Petrus solves.

I know this doesn't look impressive at all, but for me it is!

 

[slncuber21]

i got a sub35 avg on 3x3
sub 3 avg on 4x4
sub 2:30 on 4x4 (still working on getting a 1)
got a magic and learned to solve it three ways
magic- sub 2.3


thats about it. i didnt really set goals for myself over the summer...

 

[Garmon]

Got a 3 minute for 4x4x4
3x3x3 sub 35 solve and 40 average
15 second clock and sub 20 averag
a bunch of other stuff I can't even remember.

 

[bearit]

I set tons of goals, but didn't accomplish any of them. All of the other stuff I had going on sort of got in the way.

 

[ROOT]

i got alot of my goals (i dont remember them exactly)

sub-1 BLD single 1:14.xx
megaminx mean of 3 1:19.45
megaminx avg of 12 1:26.xx
megaminx single 1:08.xx
sub-1 5x5 avg
1:39.43 5x5 single
6 cube multiblind
sub 19 avg 3x3
4X4 avg 1:16
i still didnt get megaminx BLD

 

[Brett]

I kept my 3x3x3 time the same and improved 4x4x4 by around 15 seconds x_X

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Sub-13 for 3x3 single.
Sub-18 for 3x3 average.
Sub-1:20 for 4x4 single.
Got a magic...and had like 5 sub-2s in an hour (then it broke and there is none left at walmart, which makes me angry)

 

[Odin]

uhh i learned how to solve a 3x3 then i droped 2 min.

 

[ooveehoo]

-Learn the last 7 OLLs
Well, I learned three.
-Average sub 20 on 3x3x3.
I got av. of 12 21.xx
-Average sub 10 on 2x2x2 and Pyraminx.
Done! Pyraminx 9.30, 2x2x2 8.xx.
-Get atleast ONE medal in Finnish Open 2008.
Done! Got two (gold from pyraminx and silver from 5x5x5)
-And most important average under 10 min blindfolded.
Done! I average sub 6 using old (I refuse to call it "classic") Pochmann.

 

[TMOY]

I didn't set goals for everything, my main ones were to get sub-2 on 4^3 and sub-4 on 5^3. both are now official
I also wanted to learn BLD but I must still work on it...

 

[Lewis]

Over the summer:
I reduced my 3x3 average from 1:10 to 45 seconds
I learned the Ortega method for 2x2.
I solved the 5x5x5
I learned to solve megaminx (But i've forgotten some algorithms already)

 

[fanwuq]

failed everything except sub-40 average on FMC.

 

[flee135]

Sub-20 average on 3x3
Solved a 4x4 BLD.
I had a goal of sub-2 for 4x4, but ended up being sub-1:40
Sub-4 with 5x5, ended up being sub-3:30
Doing good on 2x2 at Nationals with a 2.70 solve.

Pretty good Summer for me.

 

[Sa967St]

lol I almost forgot...
sub20 3x3x3 official average √
sub17 3x3x3 official single √
sub35 OH 3x3x3 official sinlge (failed, should have practiced OH)

goals for next competition :

sub18 3x3x3 official average
sub14 3x3x3 official single
sub40 OH 3x3x3 official average
sub33 OH 3x3x3 official single

 

[Garmon]

Goals for UK open:
Sub 40 solve
Sub 45 average
I doubt I'll get it, need to practice a load.
Also 2x2 sub 10 solve
2x2 sub 15 average
Also I don't want to do too embarrassingly in 4x4x4

 

[cmhardw]

1) Place at US Nationals for at least one BLD event (DNFs are possible) but preferrably more than one (placed in 2 events).
2) achieve a sub-15 average in competition (3x3)
3) Attempt FMC in competition (yay for placing at nationals!)
4) successfully solve the 7x7x7 BLD (at home)

[Lofty]

Goal for the summer:
Get WR at nationals for OH average: failed
Goal for next comp:
Get WR for OH average

 

[Mike Hughey]

I made this list last year as my goals for at home solves by the time of US Nationals 2008 (at the time, I didn't expect to actually go to Nationals):

3x3x3: sub :25 avg, and learn all the OLLs (didn't quite make it on the average, but did learn all the OLLs)
4x4x4: sub 1:30 avg (more like 1:50 avg)
5x5x5: sub 2:45 avg (no, but I did manage sub-2:45 solves for qualifiers at Nationals)
3x3x3 OH: sub :45 avg (not quite)
2x2x2: sub :10 avg (not quite)
3x3x3 BLD: sub 2:00 (yes, but not quite in competition - 2:04)
Magic & Master Magic: learn to really do them (yes)
Pyraminx: sub :15 avg (no)
Megaminx: sub 4:00 avg (yes, but I didn't get sub-4 at Nationals )
Square-1: sub 1:00 avg (managed this at Cincinnati a month later)
Multi-BLD: at least 5/5 (I think I managed this )
Fewest moves: get at least one sub-30 solve (not quite, but very close)
4x4x4 BLD: sub-15:00 (I think I managed this )
5x5x5 BLD: sub-30:00 (I think I managed this )

So yeah, I was rather successful at BLD, but not nearly as successful at speedsolving. But I wasn't all that far away even in my speedsolving goals, so I'm pretty happy with the overall results.

 

[Cerberus]

hmmm
sub-20 average at 3x3 - succeed - (mostly 17-18)
learn complete OLL - succeed
sub-1:45 avg at 4x4 - succeed - (1:30) - 1:44 was best solve back then ^^
get oh to a more decent level ~40 avg - succeed - 32 avg
2x2 sub-10 avg - succeed - even that I didn't do anything for it... just tried it after 3-4 months and 8.63 avg of 12
