Thread: Why did YOU start cubing?

    Somehow Rubik's cubes came up in my Freshman English class one day and my teacher said that whoever could solve one would get 50 extra credit points. I needed it to help my grade, so I learned in 1 night and had I think 4 or 5 algs memorized 2 days later so I could solve it for her. Got me the 50 points and an A in the class It interested me so I kept going from there and 4 years later I'm still doing it...

    Saw about 10 people around this kid in my class solving it, if he can do it I can do it. 3 months later I'm faster than him.

    Well I had gotten into cubing as there was a group of kids from my school who were solving who had been cubing for about a year who they all averaged some where from 45-1min 30 secs. They had asked if I knew how to do it and I said no. I got really mad with myself and I had began to learn it. Now After 6 Months I'm averaging 25 secs.

    Christmas 2008 --> Cube as present.
    Scrambled --> Needed to be solved.
    Dan Brown --> Solved.
    Solved --> Solved faster.
    Therefore, speedcubin.
    Overall, I think | Skewb
    Having sigs allow three lines | 3x3: ~13
    Isn't a huge deal. | Skewb: ~7
