Say by christmas time? just wondering, thought it'd be a good space to put down your goals and check them in a while, seeing as most of you are probably like me and are constantly revising goals/forgetting them... and its related to Alex DiTuro's thread on what you completed over the summer...
Mine are (for UK Open)
- 3x3 - Sub19 avg, more sub 15 singles
- 3x3 OH - sub 40 avg, sub 30 single (already have that but LL skip)
- 2x2 - Learn Guimond, sub 8 avg, sub 4 single

(for general achievements)
- Get a 4x4 and 5x5, sub-3 and sub-5 (if not better)
- reach 3x3 sub17 avg at least by christmas (after 8 months of cubing)

Anyone else?

Revision
- got a couple of sub 18 avg of 5s on cubemania, and one sub 17 (very hard), but ive found it extremely difficult to get 4 v.good solves in a row. takes a lot of attempts. definitely need to learn the OLLs now.
- not been practicing 2x2 at all. probably sup 10 or something awful. no guimond, obviously
- not been practicing OH either. probably still well sup 40. need to tweak my OH cube anyway.
- got a 4x4 on tuesday evening. about 3 min already :D lol 40s centres, 1:20 dedges, one min solve. looking to get 30s centres, 40s dedges and 40s normal solve for 1:50 avg by UK Open:)
- no 5x5 :(

3x3 sub-30 and learn all of PLL

I'm very new to many puzzles and I don't play with them very often, but my goals are:

2x2x2: Never stopped it, so Sub 20 single, Sub 25 AVG
3x3x3: Sub 30 single, Sub 35 AVG
4x4x4: Never stopped it, so Sub 4:00:00 single
5x5x5: Never stopped it, so Sub 6:00:00 single
6x6x6: Never stopped it, so Sub 15:00:00 single (My V6 is bad)
7x7x7: Sub 15:00:00 single

I know the times are bad, but I don't have much time for them. I will improve alot when I'm in the Netherlands next year as an exchange student =)
