Goals over the summer?

[DavidWoner]

finish learning OLL and PLL by mid-july
3x3x3: sub-15 single, sub 20 avg (going for under 10 months from start to sub-20)
2x2x2: sub 7 avg
4x4x4: sub-75 single, sub 90 avg
5x5x5: sub 3:00 single, sub 3:30 avg
OH: sub 40 single, sub 60 avg
with feet: sub 2:00
megaminx: actually finish it(my friend has one)
maybe get a magic and work on that
save enough money for a 5x5x5 and 7x7x7 v-cube (forget 6x6, i hate parity)

all doable i think. with feet might be a challenge, but then again ive only done about a dozen feet solves. everything else is only like a 20% drop in times, easy to do in 3 months

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Hrm... all competition-related:

3x3x3: sub-13.5
2x2x2: sub-4
4x4x4: sub-60
5x5x5: sub-130 (I suck at this event so much)
Magic: sub-1.1
MM: sub-3.5
Sq-1: sub-35
Pyraminx: sub-10
FMC: sub-40 (crappy goal, I know)
3x3BLD: sub-75
4x4BLD: a success ))
multi-BLD: 5 cubes
Megaminx: sub-2 average.

5x5x5 and 7x7x7 v-cube (forget 6x6, i hate parity)

Wait a minute... both 5x5 and 7x7 have parities...

I think he meant PLL parity. Parity on big odd cubes is pretty easy to recognize before you start 3x3 solving.

 

[Jh543]

3x3- sub 14 average of 10
4x4- sub 1.10 average of 10
3x3OH- sub 29 average of 10

 

[Carlos]

3x3: sub15 avg
3x3 OH: sub25 avg

 

[Lotsofsloths]

sub 15!!!
I am 17-18 average now

 

[Crzyazn]

consistent sub17 (averaging 20ish right now) 3x3
one BLD

 

[Arget]

Hm, busy this summer but here are my goals.

- Sub 20 Average on 3x3, i'm sitting around 21-22 at the moment.
- Learn how to blindfold and successfully complete one
- Sub 10 average with 2x2 (around 13 seconds but i don't practice)
- Sub 2:30 on 4x4 (at around 3 minutes but i don't practice haha)
- Start OHing

 

[Aub227]

- sub 20 avg on 3x3 (current avg 22).
- sub 1:30 single 3x3 bld.
- sub 2:00 3x3 bld avg with 75% success rate.
- not to break my "solve the cube at least once a day" streak, which is currently at 3 yrs 2+ months, and still running. hehe

 

[ROOT]

lets see...
sub-17 average 3x3
sub-70 average for 4x4
sub-1:50 average for 5x5
sub- 1:30 average for megaminx (best average is so far 1:45)
3x3BLD sub1:50 average
4x4BLD sub15 and consitancy around 90%
5x5BLD under 25 minutes
3x3 Multiblind 11/11 (once i get more cubes)
2x2 sub-8 average
Get some v-cubes
3x3 OH sub-35 average
Megaminx Blindsolve successful (already finding communicators, i just need to find a pure 3 cycle algorithm)

not very farfetched actually

 

[MistArts]

2x2: Sub-6
3x3: Sub-17
4x4: Sub-1.5
3x3 OH: Sub-40
2x2 BLD: Sub-40
3x3 BLD: Break the 4 month DNF streak
3x3 FMC: Constant Sub-40 solves

 

[jtjogobonito]

2x2: fix mine or get a new one, then sub 7 average.
3x3: sub 15 consistently and end the summer sub 14.
4x4: sub 1:30
3x3 OH: sub 35
3x3 BLD: Become more consistent and get a sub 4
5x5: Get a better cube.

 

[LarsN]

My goals for the summer was to come up with an original speedsolving method and get it to catch on. I've already finished the method as posted in another thread. But getting the method to catch on would require me to put up some decent times and at the moment I'm having a hard time getting myself to practice enough for it. Reason being that I'm challenged at my position as the second fastest cuber in the country. A position that I would like to keep (or improve ). So...

My new goals for the summer:
- Get consistent sub20 solves for 3x3
- Get sub3 min for 5x5
- Get back into 3x3BLD
- Convincing my financial advisor (my wife) that V-cubes are a good investment.
- Pray that my national record won't be taken from me at Euro2008 since I won't be able to go and defend it.

 

[Lucas Garron]

Megaminx Blindsolve successful (already finding communicators, i just need to find a pure 3 cycle algorithm)

Commutators?

Anyhow:
U-perm: U2'RUR'UR'U'R2U'R'UR'UR + mirror/inverse (3x3x3 super-2-gen Allan)
Niklas: R'ULU'RUL'U' from different angles.
"A-perm": RB'R2F2R2'BR2F2'R2 (actually, it's more move-efficient to use a different B to comm, but the same idea applies. Also works from different angles [R'FR2'...], inverse, etc., of course)

 

[Raffael]

For me the goals for this summer are:
..

5. figure out magic by myself
..

Achieved this goal yesterday
SInce I got one as child, when the Rubik's Magic first came out in 1986, it took me only 22 years to figure it out by myself..

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

"A-perm": RB'R2F2R2'BR2F2'R2 (actually, it's more move-efficient to use a different B to comm, but the same idea applies. Also works from different angles [R'FR2'...], inverse, etc., of course)

What the hell is that?

What the hell is that?

Megaminx algs an A-perm

Thanks, Lucas - I think those are better than the algorithms I was going to use. I hope I can get around to trying this someday soon.

 

[Steve]

3x3: sub 15 avg
3x3 OH: sub 23 avg
learn 5x5
learn 6 gen for 4x4
learn BLD eventually

 

[JBCM627]

hmm... sub-3 consistently on BLD, and successful BLD in competition.

And maybe sub-3 5x5x5.

Please hurry and end, school.
