Most people who cube at my school use the vanilla layer by layer method. My friend and I use Petrus, and I think there's two kids who use Fridrich and average under 20.
I asked someone once what method he used, and he just said none, he figured it out himself. No guides, videos, anything. I watched him solve, and he did it pretty slowly, LBL method. Now I'm pretty sure if someone figured out how to solve a cube on their own, (besides being a genius) they would use some kind of block building method, but even so I really doubt he figured out all of the algorithms he used, and what they did on his own. He used common LBL algorithms anyway, like Sune to permute edges and R' D R D' to orient the corners.
I just find it really hard to believe that someone can come up with their own system and NOT be any good at the cube. Anyone else have similar encounters?
