Best first post ever. Welcome to the forum.

Did you read "The carrot is hiring new writers"? Because I'm going to dispute your statement based on that thread.

[maderito]

You're welcome, but what do I do? O.o

~1000 reconstructions * x hrs/reconstruction = Thanks

;-)

How rude of me, my apologies. I didn't even welcome you with that post.
Welcome, I notice you've lurked quite a bit, have fun reaching your goals!

Hi.
Check out the forum competitions - it's a great help way to compete against other people and help motivate you to reach your goals. Good luck!

Welcome!

If you keep being this dedicated you'll be sub-30 in no time, I promise. And it's always nice to have a new serious and dedicated member in the community! Hope to see you around!

Welcome maderito,

Despite your obvious dedication and enthusiasm; please don't forget to enjoy the experience. It's human nature to be competitive, but try not to let that become a burden to you or your family

Sorry if I'm merely stating the obvious

Kind Regards,

H.

Hello and welcome!

Quite an inspiring intro. Good luck with your quest. I know what you mean about F2L: it took me ages to establish a flow where the brain just recognised patterns and solved the pairs without a thought.

If you haven't seen them already, these comps might help you practice:

It doesn't matter about your times: it helps you practice and keep track of your times. And more importantly, a bit of friendly competition makes it more fun to practice.

Hi Maderito,

Welcome. I am a newby here too. My goal is the sub 1 minute. In only a few weeks I went from 5 - 10 minute solves to average of 1:30. I clocked a 1:10 yesterday.

Your post made me enthusiastic! Great first post.
