Goals for Cubing at home

3x3: Sub 16
4x4: Sub 2 minutes
2x2: Sub 7
OH: Sub 30
Well, I smashed most of those, apart from 4x4 (meh), so I’m happy with this. The comp went really well for me, even though it was a bit off schedule and confusing, I got PB ao5 for 3x3 and OH!

Also yeah, scramble 3 for first round of 3x3... 3 move Petrus block followed by easy expansion lol.
 
Ok, that's what I found when I looked back at it but I remember Lucas Etter saying it was 5 moves and I was pretty sure that was wrong.
Scramble:
F2 R2 D B2 U2 L2 U F2 R U2 B D L D2 F L' U B2 F2

That is what Lucas did:
y z2 // Inspection
D' F L D' R2 D' L2 // X-Cross
U' U R' U' R U2 R' U R // 2nd Pair
R U R' U R U' R'// 3rd Pair
U L' U2 L U2 L' U L // 4th Pair
U R U R' U' R' F R F' // OLL
U2 R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' // PLL

54 Moves/5.49s = 9.83 TPS

I did this:
x2 // Inspection
R D2 F' U R2 D' R D // X-Cross
U' R U' R' U R U R' // 2nd Pair
y2 U L' U L U y' R' U R // 3rd Pair
U2 R U' R' // 4th Pair
F' Rw U R' U' Rw' F R // LL

36 Moves/6.64s = 5.42 TPS oof

This is PB2 btw. :)

A nice Petrus solve I found:

x y // Inspection
F R2 Uw' // 222
R U F U2 F2 // 223
y L' U L F U L' U L // EO
y' R' U' R U' R U' R' U' R U2 R' // F2L
U2 R U R' U R U2 R' // LL

35 Moves

My goals:
3x3: sub 10 average. sub 9 single
2x2: sub 5 average sub 3 single
4x4: sub 42 average, sub 35 single
5x5: Sub 1:50 average, sub 1:40 single
OH: sub 30 average, sub 25 single
Pyraminx: sub 7 average, sub 5 single
Skewb: Sub 7 average, sub 5 single

What I got:
3x3: 10.05 average:( .06 away from goal. I did actually do a blue cross which was a 10.033 on rd1 scramble 3. Now people are telling me it was a stupidly easy scramble for white cross that I completely missed.:confused: :? Did get a nice 8.78 with a G perm though.

2x2: 5.64 average of 5. no good singles, I couldn't care less.

4x4: 40.47, amazing average, kinda got unlucky with parities, 3 doubles, one OLL, and one without parities. got a 37 and 38 but parity stopped them from getting that sub 3 single I was looking for.

5x5: I usually do about 20 seconds faster in comp than my at home average, but that didn't seem to work when I am competing at home. 2:08.43 average.

OH: 30.95 average, no good singles besides a 24.xx DNF.

Pyra: 7.68 average of 5, 4.35 single.

Skewb: 7.66 average of 5, no good singles.
 
2x2: sub-4 single, sub-5 average
4.72, 5.22, 6.11, (4.39), (6.71) = 5.36 average
Didn't meet either goal.
3x3: sub-18 single, sub-20 average
16.30, 19.38, 15.83, 17.83, 17.21 = 17.11 average
Destroyed both of those goals, but it makes me even more disappointed that I didn't make it to the second round.
4x4: sub-1:10 single, sub-1:20 average
(1:08.14), 1:09.31, 1:22.69, 1:16.16, (1:24.58) = 1:16.05 (best 1:16 average lol ;))
Beat both goals!
5x5: sub-2:40 single, sub-3:00 average
(2:57.38), (2:15.62), 2:50.61, 2:38.01, 2:46.04 = 2:44.89 average
Beat both goals and the 2:15 was my PB single!
Pyraminx: sub-8 single, sub-10 average
9.31, 7.80, (6.78), 9.59, (10.43) = 8.90 average
Beat both goals!
Skewb (I suck really bad): sub-13 single, sub-18 average
13.60, 15.21, (10.08), 12.66, (15.86) = 13.82 average
Destroyed both goals; I guess I underestimated myself.
Square-1: sub-45 single, sub-1:00 average
(58.85), 44.33, 54.15, 56.16, (41.05) = 51.55 average
I beat these goals by quite a bit, too!
3x3 OH: sub-45 single, sub-1:00 average
(52.91), 47.72, 40.83, 44.28, (35.77) = 44.28 average
Another example of underestimating.

Overall, it was a great comp, I hope they do more, and I really underestimated myself! I need to make harder goals for the next Cubing at Home!
