Goal
Get sub 1 on 3x3x3

Deadline
June 1st

How exactly does he orient the corners in his method? It doesn't say, that I can find.

Only follow his first of three rules

The way to determine if it is oriented correctly is:

if it is an up or down color (white or yellow), it should be on the up or down face.

And also... here's his explanation on how to do it

Each corner that needs orienting will be brought with setup moves to UFR. If its orientation is 1,

we will do the "out" orientation

Out= L D R' D’ L' D R D’ (turn cube 90 degrees clockwise or Z) R' D’ L D R D’ L' D (turn 90 CCW or Z')

If the orientation is 2, do Out twice.

or do: In= L U' F2 U F2 U L U' L2 D F2 D' F2 once

The setup moves for orienting corners are:

Position 1- no setup move required

2- no seutp move required

3- R'

4- B' R'

5- D R

6- R

7- R2

8- D' R2

Note: we do not orient position 1. When we finish the others, it will be oriented correctly.

Sorry, meant to say my version of Old Pochmann, I guess. Or my new twist on Old Pochmann. The idea is to orient all the corners first, so you have easier setup moves.

Your not the first one to think of this method. youd be surprised at how many people do this.

 

[abr71310]

NEW GOALS:
-- Get at least 3 sub-20 averages before TOS (and get a sub-25 average in competition) for 3x3x3

-- Get five more BLD successes (doesn't matter # of attempts), learn M2 for edges.

-- Get sub-10 2x2x2 averages, learn some Guimond / CLL cases.

-- Fix my 4x4x4, find a better one...?

-- Get sub-40 One-handed 3x3x3 times and at least one sub-33 single in competition, with no higher than a 43 average at TOS.

DEADLINE FOR ALL: June 27th, 2009

I've got work to do. *sigh*

Goals:
-Reach sub-20 average of 12
-actually do a successful BLD solve
-Learn all the OLL's (already have half )
-Sq-1 sub 50 average of 5
-Sub-2 the 4x4 (average of 5 or single, I have A LOT already...)
-Sub-3 the 5x5 (same as above...)
-Sub-5 my 6x6 (Well I think you see a trend here)
-Sub-7 my 7x7 (")
-Sub-5 my Megaminx (same)

I hope these are reasonable XD

Oh. Well, I thought of it without any outside help. And generated my own algs.

And thanks byu. I will get started memorizing the algs tonight.

[jodeman2]

Goal:
1. PB sub 30 single solve (I just finished a timing session and I set a new PB of 31.08, I'm so close!!!)
2. PB of 12 sub 40 (Currently sitting at 42.55)
3. PB of 35 sub 45 (set a PB today at 45.08, missed it by that much!!!)

Deadline
1. One week (May, 31) failed (I was able to set a new pb at 31.06 though) completed (june 1, 6:41 p.m. new PB of 28.95, day late but met)
2. Two weeks (June 7) completed (june 2, 4:45, 38.84, switched cubes (just recieved my c4u cube and was testing it out) does that count?)
3. One week (May, 31) completed (44.87 as of 3:55 cst on May 27, 2009)

Obviously, I'm very close to breaking these barriers, So essentially I shouldn't take to long to do.

Obviously, I'm very close to breaking these barriers, So essentially I shouldn't take to long to do.

Looks like I finished these goals so now to set some new ones:
1. New PB of sub 25 on a single solve
2. New PB of sub 35 on ave of 12
3. No 45+ sec solves on 35 solves
I also have a new cube so I'm going to need to brake it in a little even though it works so much nicer than my store bought one. So I will set these goals for the end of June.
