    Talking Hi, I'm Ranzha V E.

    Hi, I'm Ranzha V E and today I'm going to give you a bit of background on me.

    I'm a 13-year-old solver (the birth date is my friend's, who's also a cuber and who is going to share this account with me if he remembers) in California and I am only focused on solving the 3x3x3, though I have a 5x5x5 (Rubik's), a Revolution, a Sudoku cube, a Rubik's Brain Racker, a mini 3x3x3 (incorrectly stickered ), a normal lubed Rubik's Cube and a Cube4You white speedcube.
    I learned how to solve a cube at the beginning of January of 2009 through Dan Brown's Method (which, frankly, is a slightly modified version of the traditional Rubik's Beg. Method). When I could first solve it, I was relieved and showed everyone around that I could solve the cube in 3 minutes.

    That time soon became 1:59.74, and then to around 1:20 by March. Later that month, someone (not telling who) stole and then broke my cube . Thank gawd it was a Rubik's brand .

    On the 11th of April, I bought my second (3rd, really. I had one before for 25th anniv. but it broke -sadface-) cube and then solved it in 51.10 seconds.

    Skipping three months since then, today I beat my PB by about 3 secs to 25.81 seconds using a combo of basic Fridrich and beg with an average of 35-40 secs. If someone else scrambles it, including inspection time, I can do it in just under a minute, which is nothing special, really.

    Anyway, I just purchased and received my white speedcube and I have yet to lube it and such .

    So, aside from cubing, I make YouTube videos in my spare time, I write stories, and I play piano (8 years) and trombone (1/2 year).

    So, any questions you have for me considering...me?

    Thanks,

    --Ranzha V. Emodrach, Castrensis Discipulus of Vulgivagus Professor of Telum Surculus ex Kevelhë

    Welcome!

    I have a question for you:

    Does your last name mean "Emo-Dragon" in German? lol. And you are a dedicated disciple of a wandering professor of projectile weapons from "Kevelhë"? What/where is Kevelhë?

    Kevelhë is everywhere, but nowhere.
    Jk, it doesn't exist.
    Also, Emodrach doesn't mean anything.

    I have. It's not hard at all to learn 2LLL, so I did.
    So awesome!
    What's not awesome, however, is my average: ~44s.
    FAIL.
    But my best is 19.6, so for cubing for less than a year, I think that's good for now.

    I've gotta say, you're really inconsisent. 19.6/44 is a big gap. You should try to become more consistent. Also, you should never scramble it yourself. Go to cubetimer.com, they have a built-in scrambler and it's a good timer for cubes, it calculates your average.

    you shouldn't really share an account. gonna be hard to clean things up if your friend decides to act stupid. But i guess if its working, go ahead.

    Well, Chris (my friend) doesn't use this account very much, if at all.
    Anyway, he's not really active on any forums--he signs up but never commits.

    19.6 was because of a 3/4 cross, 1/2 F2L, OLL skip, and U-perm for PLL, if I remember correctly.
    Also, qqTimer ftw.

    Now was this with a proper scramble or a hand scramble. You probably shouldn't count it if you got that lucky with a hand scramble.

    EDIT: Oh, welcome!
