Goals over the summer?

[linkmaster03]

I'm sure a good amount of us cubers are in school, and we're going to be out for the summer. Some will be out in a few weeks and some already are. What are your cubing goals that you wish to achieve before you go back to school?

I would like:

• 25ish average on the 3x3
• 2ish average on the 4x4
• Learn 2x2 Ortega
• Go from 2 Look OLL to 1 Look
• Get a 5x5 and learn to solve it
• Learn 3x3 BLD

Qualify for the US Open with an 18s solve
Get a consistent average around 20s if not a sub20
Learn M2 edges and Old Pochmann (corners)

 

[alexc]

Sub 50 3x3 bld.
Sub 10 4x4 bld.
20/20 multi bld.
Maybe learn 5x5 bld.

 

[Lofty]

Stop cubing
Get rid of these pains in my hand
Get sub-20 OH consistently and a sub-19 average
Get Big cube times down to qualifictaion level

Rubik's Cube Fan's Goals

• Consistently average less than 20 seconds
• Learn 3x3 Blindfolded so people won't be annoying asking "Hey can you solve it with your eyes closed?"
• Learn the Ortega or Guimond method on the 2x2, and average less than 10 seconds consistently
• Possibly start 3x3-One Handed

 

[fanwuq]

3x3: sub-18 average
3x3 BLD: very high accuracy, sub-4 min average.
3x3 OH: sub-30 average
4x4: sub-2:00 average
2x2: get cube not to lock up so much.

Average 16ish or under.
Begin to learn some ZBF2L
Work on being more consistent

3x3x3 bld

[Siraj A.]

2x2: sub-6
3x3: sub-20
4x4: sub-1:30 (very likley)
5x5: sub-3:00 (very likely)
Pyraminx: More conistant sub-10 avgs.
3x3 OH: sub-45

 

[pcharles93]

2x2: sub-10
3x3: sub-20
4x4: Get a decent one
5x5 sub-3
Pyraminx: Get a new one
BLD: Start
OH: sub-60

A bit off subject, but why do people keep referring to this years US competition as the "US Open"? For the record, US Nationals and the US Open alternate each year...last year was the US Open, this year is US Nationals.

anyway, here are my goals:
-Sub-20 Roux avg, and stay around 15.xx w/ Fridrich
-Learn a lot of COLL and CMLL
-Learn more OLLs w/ OH
-Get sub 1:05 4x4 avg
-Get sub 2:40 avg (this was 2 weeks ago, I am pretty much already here, so I'll go sub-2:30)
-Get BLD avg under 2:30

 

[fanwuq]

I forgot. Most importantly, for orient last layer. Either learn all the OLL's or switch to Petrus or Roux or something weird just to avoid learning all the OLLs.
Get PLL time attack sub-55. OH PLL time attack sub-2:00.

 

[Jai]

Meh, here's mine:
- Get better at OH (hopefully 30-35) -> right now I'm at around 39
- Be more consistent -> I haven't gotten a sub-1 SD for a while
- Consistently 12-13 for 3x3 -> right now I'm around 14
- Sub-10 at Pyraminx -> I'm at around 11 right now
- Sub-5 at 2x2 -> Right now I'm at around 5

Actually, that's not true. This year it's the "US Nationals and Open":
http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?i=USOpen2008
And if you notice, the link actually shortens it to just "USOpen2008". It's more logical to call it the US Open than the US Nationals, since after all it is an Open.

I'm long past school years, but here are my summer goals:
3x3x3: Get a sub-25 average of 10.
4x4x4: Average sub-1:30.
5x5x5: Average sub-3:00.
3x3x3 BLD: Get a sub-2:30 average of 10.
4x4x4 BLD: Get a sub-7:30 solve.
5x5x5 BLD: Get a sub-20 solve (I'm already close to this!).
multiBLD: 15/15.

I think these are all probably reachable.

 

[deathbypapercutz]

I like Lofty's first two

For me... I guess I'd just like to be able to do my homework (especially the stuff that involves writing and typing) and cube at the same time. Once I figure out how to do that, my life will be complete.

 

[Karthik]

I am really busy with an intern this summer.But still...
2x2: sub-6 consistently and learn Guimond
3x3: Learn OLLs and sub-15 avg
4x4: sub-80 or sub-70 will be good
5x5: Fix my eastsheen and sub 2:30
3x3OH:sub-30 at least
3x3BLD: Learn M2, finish my images and sub-100 at least
4x4BLD:Sub-Indian NR
MultiBLD:Get more cubes and 20/20
And finish my long pending cube-solving robot.I am already half way through this

 

[Lucas Garron]

3x3x3: Get better MGLS algs
2x2x2: Learn SS before Nationals
4x4x4: Decide on an OLL parity and get sub-1 avg
5x5x5: Sub-2 avg
OH: Sub-20 singles in comp, close to sub-20 official avg
BLD: Sub-1, NR again (hopefully ER).
Meaminx: Sub-2 (2:05 last night... )
Clock: 12-ish in comp
