You shouldn't really bother learning PLLs until at least sub 30 - 25 average. You should focus on your F2L a lot more as it's twice as important! I average about 28 - 29 (sub 30) and I am only recently considering learning PLLs. You should learn look ahead or f2l tricks or something like that which will improve your average by twice as much as what wasting your time learning 21 algorithms would do.

I switched to colour neutrality last Sunday, but that doesn't mean I'm any good at it XD. Since I want to be quite efficient about this and have my solve times accurately depict my progress with other colours, I neglect solving green cross unless it is extremely easy. At the moment my times are all over the place, ranging from the odd sub-15 to well into the 20s XD, I think my average would be ~17-18. I had a smooth 11 today on orange, it had an x-cross (for once it was actually intentional XD) and OLL skip.

Watching Cameron solving has motivated me to put more thought into solving the cross, and I have now been doing loads of x-cross practice :). At the moment I have difficulty planning much of the solution to an x-cross during inspection, I usually plan about half and am forced to find the remaining pieces after I've executed whatever I planned in inspection.

Goals:
- I want my solves with other colours to become as natural as my solves with green cross, I'm aware that some have found this near impossible :P. I hope to achieve this within a few months time.
- Go to Australian Nationals.
- If I go to Nationals, get a sub-14 average (with CN, of course :cool:).
- Improve at planning x-crosses in inspection.

I didn't reach any of those goals, except Pyra, in which I got a PB average of 8.40. Yay for not caring. I should probably do that for other events.

New goals by August 24:
Finish Pi, U, and T COLL
3x3: Sub 10 avg100
3BLD: Sub-20 single on camera

Goals for BASC Summer 2013:
3x3: Don't care
