UK Masters 2010

Maybe it's a bit too early but goals, anyone?

Here are mine (single/average):

2x2x2: sub-3, sub-4 (unrealistic though right now...)
3x3x3: sub-9, sub-10 (trying to continue the pattern: sub-13, sub-12, sub-11, sub-10 :p)
4x4x4: sub-40, sub-43 (I think it's possible for me if I practise more after the exams and get a better cube)
5x5x5: sub-NR (hard though :p), sub-1:25 (again, I just need to practise more after the exams)
OH: sub-18, sub-24 (shouldn't be very difficult)
Sq-1: sub-30, sub-40 (shouldn't be too hard...)
6x6x6: sub-OPB, sub-OPB
7x7x7: sub-OPB, anything will do I just want an average :p
Pyraminx: sub-7?, sub-10? (I think it's doable with a decent pyraminx)

Team blind?: sub-1 minute with Thom or someone else using Roux???

Have you already got a system for this?

I can't do full CMLL yet though, we would have to stick to 2 step CMLL...
For the L6Es, we could just say which edges need orienting, then we could just say the solution for the 4b and 4c.
 
It depends who's calling and solving, really.

The first block is easy to describe during inspection, the second is similar with stuff like push/pull front/back like with CFOP.

If I'm solving for CMLL, you can just describe the colours I point to for case recog, or two look is also easy.

For step 4a, it's easy enough to describe the edge flips. For step 4b, if you say the location of the UL and UR edges and how to adjust the U face the solution can be conveyed quicker, and it's trivial to name every 4c case.

I had no idea you could use Roux so well. How fast are you with it?
 
Yeah, I was giving rowan some tuition for a short period.

The most obvious optimisation is learning RU'r'U'M'UrUr' for the 6flip until you can learn the centre misorientation shortcuts. And get used to the insane LSE lookahead.

Also, I just realised. I've been learning how to do CMLL+EO in one alg - so for some cases I'll ask for the EO aswell during CMLL. Might be slower than doing them separately for TeamBLD though, worth testing it out.

EDIT; Goals!

2x2x2: sub4 avg
3x3x3: sub13 avg
4x4x4: sub60 avg (I'd need to practice)
5x5x5: sub120 single :D
OH: sub30avg
Sq-1: sub50 avg
Pyraminx: sub10 avg ^_^
MasterMagic: sub3 avg
FMC: sub35
BLD: sub3

That's a pretty nice alg there. For opposite edges on top, I just use an OLL alg.
What do you use for the opposite edges on top and bottom?

EDIT: nvm, I already found a 7 mover using M and U...

Goals for July
3x3: sub-30, sub-35
4x4: sub-2:00, sub-2:15
5x5: sub-4:00
2x2: sub-8, sub-10
3OH: sub-60, sub-80
Megaminx: sub-4:00
Pyraminx: sub-13
Square-1: sub-60, sub-120
Rubik's Clock: sub-20, sub-22
6x6: sub-7:00
7x7: sub-10:00
Magic: sub-2
Master Magic: sub-7

I think these are achievable - anyone who knows me will know how slow I am :o
 
These will probably change, but I'll give my main goals for now:
2x2: sub-3.5, sub-4.5
Pyra: NR single with a 10 average. That's how I work in pyra :p
3bld: sub-2:30
4bld: sub-10
5bld: sub-20
Multibld: 4/4 I guess
Clock: NR, NR (although I kinda want Mark to get it)
Magic: sub-10?!
MMagic: sub-20?!

I know a 4 mover using FMU but it's not fast. The 7 mover is the best solution, it's the worst EO case.
 
You obviously haven't taken into consideration how good I am :)

Please tell me this is a joke?

Also, I raced Olivér for quite some time on Saturday and beat him reasonable amounts ;) I was disappointed with my German clock average :p Even though it was nearly sub NR :P

Well if it isn't me then I don't mind as long as it isn't Daniel...

Well if it isn't you then you're a slacker! I haven't even done 1000 solves yet (965 according to CCT). You could do at least 20000 before July. Get on with it - I want sub-WR for Mark!

EDIT: Also, why does sub-Daniel imply sub-NR? Last time I checked Charlie had the NRs.

Yes but you will beat those. And thanks for the encouragement lol.

What if Charlie beats them by more? She might be secretly practising it...
