[Member Intro] A cuber who's embarassed about his age...

[OtterCuber]

Hi everyone,

This is embarrassing, but I just solved my first cube about a week ago using the beginner's method! I'm worried that my fingers won't allow me to go sub-XX. But I got so hooked that I bought a DaYun TengYun M and have been learning intuitive F2L and 4LL. I have a lot of questions about CFOP, but I'll post those elsewhere.

Hope to get to know some of you soon,
OtterCuber

Welcome!

If you think your fingers are too big, try a 57 mm cube

Hey Otter, welcome to the forums! Nothing embarrassing about it - plenty of cubers start out after childhood! It might be harder to go super-fast, but practice and efficiency can definitely take you pretty far. Either way I'd say you're doing great as long as you're having fun.

And if You think that your fingers are too small, Get the 354M V1 Or V2

Welcome. Don't be embarrased about your age

Hey there! I’m a 30something cuber too! My fingers definitely don’t seem like the have the dexterity of a 9 year old but the challenge and pursuit of learning the cube can still be fully enjoyed at our “slower” speeds. Happy solving!

Welcome to the forums, my age is a lot too.

A lot of cubers call me Uncle which is embarrassing.

Hey welcome! I'm 34 too, and although I learned a beginners method when I was a teenager, I relearned this year and got into speed cubing. Although speed is relative, I'm hovering around 1 min, but I'm learning lots of different things at the same time when I have time to practice.

Ah, great to hear! Yes, there's so much to learn and practice.

Welcome! I first solved the cube this April and I joined less than 2 months ago. I am 75.

 

[Puffin]

Hey man, I’m 39 and only started a but ago. It can definitely feel like a hobby full of teens, but there are plenty of us older dudes here.

Welcome! Don't be embarassed about your age, if you think you can't be too fast because of your age, try learning different techniques and events, that will make you have pleasure on solving the cube. There is always something new to learn.

I seem to have hit a plateau so I'm trying to learn more algsets and practice other methods like Roux, ZZ and Petrus.

Cubing should be fun!

Welcome! As you’ve seen, there’s lots of adult cubers here, so no reason to be embarrassed!

 

[Deleted member 36445]

I taught my dad how to solve the cube and he is past 60 now. He even uses intuitive f2l! That's so cool

 

[Scriv58]

Welcome and don’t feel bad I started at 61 years old, just glad to have lived this long- and I learned f2l from cubeskills dot com
