It will be cool to see you there!

 

[AlphaSheep]

I have two comps coming up in the next two weeks (Johannesburg Open and Cape Town Open), so I may as well set some goals.

2x2: Make finals at both comps.
3x3: Sub-20 average. Sub 19 would be amazing.
4x4: Sub 1:40 average.
5x5: Sub 3:00 single. Sub 3:10 average.
Megaminx: Sub 3:45 average. I should have had this in June...
Pyraminx: PB single. It's taken too long.
3BLD: Just a success will be cool.
MBLD: 2/2. If I get it in Johannesburg, I'll see if I'm up for 3/3 in Cape Town.
Skewb: Stupid event. I don't even care any more. Hopefully a first place in Joburg, and a podium in Cape Town.

Also, overall goal: Top 5 in Africa for KinchRanks.

[DuffyEdge]

Is full sq1 EP worth learning? If it is and when I have my qiyi, I would like to start with nötig even learning 100 algs
Deadline would be German Open 2016 in April

Probably not, but I'll race you to it anyway? I also have an April comp deadline.

 

[TMarshall]

Probably not, but I'll race you to it anyway? I also have an April comp deadline.

Count me in too please. Also, how many do you guys know already? I just counted and I know 20. I'll probably try to do one a day.

And now my goals for by the end of the year.
3x3: sub 10 average of 1000
4x4: sub 45 average of 100
5x5: sub 1:25 average of 100
6x6: sub 2:40 average of 100

I know 50, but I probably won't learn any more this year. A lot of the cases come in twos (i.e. HZ and ZH) or fours (i.e. cwUcwU, cwUccwU, ccwUcwU and ccwUccwU), so I've found it doesn't really make sense to learn only one at a time (unless it's something like WW). Just my thoughts

Goals for MPEI (in order of feasibility):
* sub-Cale for 4BLD
* sub 5 minutes 5BLD
* NR 3BLD (if only I get really lucky)
^__^

Let's review.

1) I got 2:26 DNF by 3 wings (forgot one adjective)
2) 5:04 is good enough, considering that my last attempt was a month ago in SPB
3) By the time 3BLD event started I was totally exhausted, so no chance for that.

Actually my main goal was to attend the biggest Russian comp in the first place; meet some old friends and just spend an awesome weekend. That was achieved completely! ^^

I have two comps coming up in the next two weeks (Johannesburg Open and Cape Town Open), so I may as well set some goals.

2x2: Make finals at both comps. - On track so far
3x3: Sub-20 average. Sub 19 would be amazing. - Yes, 18.55 average. I don't even know how...
4x4: Sub 1:40 average. - Yes, easily
5x5: Sub 3:00 single. Sub 3:10 average. - Yes | No. Beat the single twice, missed the average by a second
Megaminx: Sub 3:45 average. I should have had this in June... - Yes, and my 3:24.74 average is only a second from my at home PB...
Pyraminx: PB single. It's taken too long. - Yes, twice.
3BLD: Just a success will be cool. - Yes, although took a minute longer than I usually take. Also, first person to get an official success on African soil
MBLD: 2/2. If I get it in Johannesburg, I'll see if I'm up for 3/3 in Cape Town. - No. 0/2 after 17 minutes (usually take 12 minutes for 2 cubes at home), but I was close on both. Missed a flipped edge on one, and forgot parity on the other. I'll only try 2 in Cape Town.
Skewb: Stupid event. I don't even care any more. Hopefully a first place in Joburg, and a podium in Cape Town. - Yes, 1st in Joburg, but still a stupid event

Also, overall goal: Top 5 in Africa for KinchRanks. - Probably, waiting for the results to go up to confirm, but I think I am.

Revised goals for Cape Town:
2x2: Make finals
3x3: A counting sub-18. Make finals.
5x5: Sub 3:00 average. I think I can do it.
3BLD: A sub-5:00 success
MBLD: 2/2
Skewb: Sub-7 average, although I don't really care.
