Megaminx is a bit shaky rn, considering I done a solve for a long time. Unsurprisingly, I've forgotten some algs, since I literally just learnt them, so I still have some algs to re-learn.
Man, I can't wait for my Yuhu to come

After Lagos Open, right?
Yeah. I don't even think I might be able to go for Lagos Open since I have driving lessons for a month and since my dad paid for the lessons, way more than I paid for comp registration, he's not gonna let me go. The comp date creeps into the driving lessons so yeah, I can't go.

South Wales, not exactly England
Ohh you're moving, nicee. I've been to South Wales, the mountains are beautiful. You should visit Snowdon and Cardiff, which you probably know anyway lol. Good luck I guess!

Okay. There should be lots of comps there so you will get to compete.



EDIT: The Gloucestershire comp (Aug 27-28) is 1hr 20min from South Wales....


REGISTRATION OPENS IN 2 DAYS BRO HURRY UK COMPS FILL UP FAZZT.
Wow it has to be at the end of August, literally the only week I'm not home.

surely he'll let you skip a day of lessons for your comp?

Let me do a quick analysis of why he won't let me go.

Local Currency is Naira, represented by #, 1USD=425NGN

Competition Registration - #2500
Driving Lessons - #25,000
Round Trip by myself (PH to Lagos and back to PH) - #123,670
Round Trip incl. Mum and Sis - #349,345
Hotel Accommodation - #60,000

If I go alone, the total is gonna be $431.66. If I go with my mum and my sister, total is gonna be $962. If you didn't notice, I'm in a third-world country and that is a s__t ton of money.
The amount I spent for registration is nothing in comparison to the least costliest thing there, which is driving.

*I haven't even included feeding.

If he lets me go, it's gonna be a s__t ton of money that he's gonna spend, and no man in their right mind would spend that much just to have my name on the WCA database.

TBH, it's better if I attend competitions outside the country because the transport situation will definitely be better.

While I'm waiting for my Yuhu to come, instead of not doing any solves at all, I'm gonna be grinding Megaminx. I've already forgotten some OLLs, which is really bad, so I'm gonna learn them back. I might even start learning some Megaminx PLLs, particularly EPLLs. I'll also go through a list of Megaminx OLLs, that carry over from 3x3, which means there should be 57 of them. I already know some of them, it's just about finding the rest of them so I can easily recognise them. I currently average around 1:20 and I want to be sub-1:20 consistently.

For 4x4, I've started learning the Parity PLLs, still haven't mastered them yet.
