Has anyone tried to stop you doing your rubiks cube?

Yes they do.
Lots of people already go times of more than 10 minutes in competitions, so even if it takes you more than 10 mins it doesn't matter.

It depends on the competiton, but yes sometimes times over 10 minutes are also ok.

I agree. My plan is to take my kids out of school and make them play with cubes.

This is genius, we should get rid of public schools and instead force children into solving rubiks cubes 6 hours a day
. Then all our education problems would be solved.Cool Frog

Not to mention all the costs saved building of schools, employment of teachers, principals, coaches, and equipment.

My mon told me the same thing. I am interested in the cube when he lost his popularity. The passion and probably not fashionable.
I'm the man of return of the cube with my show tv

I already cube for a few hours a day, but a few more wouldn't hurt now, would it?

I think parents should heartily encourage the cube as its one of the best forms of brain training around. Surely no-one wants me to discourage faz?
dont discourage him jsut tell him to slow down a little to give other people a chance

So, you are not familar with the system of grammar?
By the way, I'm typing this from my iPhone.
You found it, yet you still did not add a period or comma in that sentence.
My dad tries to stop me from doing the cube all the time. I learned in August and after a few months he started to get extremely angry whenever I would start cubing. He thinks it's a waste of time. Recently he hasn't said anything about it though which has been much more helpful. Having someone scream at you while you're cubing is never fun. I just remember the one time I was doing my first Ao100 and he literally was going to like throw me out the window because he wanted to leave to go somewhere and I told him to wait a couple of minutes because I had to finish. Honestly I just think it's ridiculous how mad some people get. It's something I really love to do and it's a great hobby. My brother's away in college but when he gets home he usually says stuff to me too. So, I've officially come to the conclusion that if I want to cube I have to go to my room. As long as you don't lose interest in anything else there should be no reason your mom thinks it's an "unhealthy obsession".

just keep cubing, and after a year they will be annoyed if you don't cube

There are so many people posting about his bad grammar, when I have hardly seen any posts on here that actually have perfect grammar.
Dylan, as somebody has stated before, mention to her that you could be spending your free time doing something else, such as drugs, crime, etc. Also, show here your report card, if it is actually good, and show her that it is possibly helping, or not affecting negatively, your grades. My opinion is that you should give her a scrambled Rubik's Cube, and let her [try to] solve it. Also mention to her that there are over 43 quintillion possible positions for a Rubik's Cube to [legitimately] scrambled into. Maybe then she will finally realize that it takes some serious skill, time, patience, and knowledge to be able to solve every single one of those >43 quintillion cube positions. Hope this helped!

my 10 time average for the 3x3x3 is 1.20 and i use a cube which is as stiff as something really stiff :| but i really need to get fast at fridrich f2l because it takes me the best part of 45 seconds to do, i need to learn alot more OLL to. So my situation is not really great with my cube.
