:p You're so precise! What are the reasons for these? I assume one is fastest female, and the other?

Goal: Find someone to lend me Silicone Spray,:D I don't really need it, I got a lucky extremely smooth Rubik's storebought cube. :p
Get average of 10 <1:00.
Learn last few PLL's and start OLL's seriously.
Deadline: First day back from spring vacation, so I can show off. ;)

EDIT: Average of 15 under a minute!

Goal
My main goal right now is to get one successful 4x4 and 5x5 blindfold solve.

Deadline
Center comms are all I really have left to learn, so I'm shooting for anytime before the end of february. We'll see....

I'm updating this deadline to "sometime before I die" :rolleyes:

Goals
Learn 4x4 BLD (everything but l and r slice edges and centers so far)
Learn OLLs (1/2 done)

Deadlines
December 2, 2009
April 12, 2009
Click to expand...

I learned 4x4 BLD, and much earlier than my deadline. OLLs, I'm maybe 2/3 done now, so there's now way I'll learn it all. I'm extending that.

Also, I want to successfully solve a 6x6 on Hi-Games.

Goals
Learn OLLs (2/3 done)
Solve 6x6 on Hi-Games

Deadlines
December 2, 2009 for both
 
goals:
achieve a BLD solve
average in the 30-sec range
learn full fridrich LL

deadline: 12-25-09* (a year from when i got my first cube)

*i'll probably achieve these before then. (knock on wood.)

Changing that to:
Learn the final few PLL's. (Got 2-Look OLL down, I will wait to average is about 30-40 seconds.)
Deadline: Same as above

Buy Silicone Spray somehow... Walmart with Dad time! Sooner or later anyway.
Deadline: April 25, 2009 (made-up)

Get a successful 4x4 solve/ learn all the parity's.
Deadline: Easter (I will either get it for Easter or do it on Gabbasoft)

9 hours later...

okay... I'm done... I just memorized all the OLL's and I now never have to learn another 3x3 alg ever again!!!! first average of 12 using full frid (with intuitive f2l): 22.45. Pretty good for my standards. I'm sure it will drop when my recognition becomes natural.


Also, not that I hate pogobat... but he's a cubing noob...

3x3 Speedsolve:

Ultimate goal (by World Championship):
Time Achievement: sub-10 averages
Actions: Learn full Fridrich and perhaps advanced methods.

Goals for this month of April:
Time Achievement: By end of month, at least sub-15.
Actions: FULL FRIDRICH
1. Practice all PLLs and maximize speed and execution by using badmephisto's PLL trainer; do everyday.
2. Learn all OLL algorithms by the end of the month by resolving to learn at least 2 OLL algorithms a day starting April 2.
3. Get AT LEAST a sub-12 cross+F2L (wanted: sub -10) by practicing F2L everyday.
4. Practice making X-crosses and experiment using it in solves.
5. Start learning F2L algorithms and advanced F2L methods.

6. Get a DIY when I realize my storebought is slowing me down.

3x3 One Handed:

Ultimate Goal (by World Championship):
Time Achievement: sub-20 averages
Actions: Full Fridrich; consider ZBF2L/Petrus

Goals for this month of April:
Time Achievement: sub-40 (sub-35 preferred) averages
Actions:
1. Learn 1 OH PLL a day; learn all 21 by end of month.
2. After OH PLLs, learn 1-2 OH OLLs a day.
3. Practice OH F2L while also practicing 2H F2L.

3x3 Blindfolded:
1. Find a decent tutorial that I can actually understand.




As you can see, I have "action" goals because merely saying "I want a sub-x average by x date" tells me nothing about what to do to achieve that goal.

Hm, I think I'll put off all the OH and BLD stuff for now. I want to focus mainly on the standard speedsolve and then move on to those, perhaps by next week or so.

I'm getting very close to sub-20 because I've been getting several intermittent 19-second solves.

I do not want to get a DIY at this time, probably never. Storeboughts FTW.

I would rather finish all OLLs by April 15. Looking through all my old papers, my original goal (from when I just started in December 2008/January 2009; gosh, has it been that long?) was to "learn full Fridrich by April 15, 2009", so I'll stick with that.

I'm going to start looking into x-cross and advanced F2L methods.
