So I am a newb and have solved a 3x3 once, and now I can't. So, now I focus on 2x2's, in the near future I will probably learn the 3x3, but 2x2 is my buddy for now.
Just 6 days ago, I bought a 2x2 and started digging. Just a normal Rubik's company from ToysRUs lol, but a fine starter. I learned how to solve it the same day, but it took 3-7 minutes to solve it with a random beginner method on YouTube. I brought it down to 50 secs the same day, the next day was shortened to 40. (I actually got a SUPER lucky 15.30 but I don't count that really, as well as a couple of other lucky runs between 15-30.) And now to 3 days ago, the day I tried Ortega, the algs were actually quite overwhelming and having to check for each scenario, and I actually still had trouble with a couple of them until this morning. So now I manage Ortega fine with a Single PB of 11.96 (Though that also required a pound of luck, I like to use 14.92 as my PB) as well as an Ao5 of 23.25.
So the question, is this good for 6 days of work? Or am I just a dweeb who's gettin full of themselves? I will likely try Guimmond after I do my Ortega Ao100 to see which is better, I heard it uses more algs. Any other tips?
