Hello,
My name is Alex, I am 30 years old, an underground miner and am from Juneau, Alaska. I started learning the 3x3 as a small child, and would solve one face at a time and saw this has a huge accomplishment. It wasn't until I was in high school that I finally figured the thing out. A whole 13 years of bad decisions (dropping out of college, drugs, alcoholism) later that I picked it up again. Ended up buying a 3x3, 4x4, and a 5x5 from Amazon and decided to learn how to solve with the help of internet tutorials this time. Fast forward two years, and I'm sitting underground waiting to load a round when our lube technician came to fuel up the powder truck. He started randomly talking about speed cubing, and his personal best without knowing that I really knew anything about cubing. I was excited, and needed that in my life. That night after our shift, we showed off our most well rehearsed algorithms and tricks in the lunch room, I got to try my first magnetic cube, and here I am! Personal best for a 3x3 using cfop is 19.80, 2x2 is 1.9, and 4x4 and up is just embarrassing. As far as fewest moves goes, my personal best is 19 (Thanks to all of the notes i took as a teenager, analyzing and learning how to improve my own solves).
Thank you for having me here, and thank you for reading.
