Average age to learn to solve the Rubik's Cube

[Garf]

I learned in Seattle, then CFOP from a sketchy PDF, then everything else from J-Perm, Cubeskills, and everything else.

Wow, besides me being a senior cuber apparently, ai don't think I would've bitten through learning the cube at the age most of you did. I was just interested in computer games at that time.

I learned with badmephisto, the legend

Dang I learnt it from the Rubik’s site in June lol

I started with the rubik pdf but found it confusing so I searched other resources and found out myself I could combine last layer algs to solve any configuration
But badmephisto was the one source that made me get faster.

I am 11 right now and did my first compo at 9.

I learned from Dan Brown's Video even though its 13 years old

wow was it hard to organize?

I guess. My dad got me into cubing so he did everything

Yeah, I think it's a really helpful site for the beginner's method.

LOL those are all of the good cubing brands. I love those three to.

Storytime. When I was 8 years old I had a decent dollar store cube as my "main". I actually got around to figuring out the concept of layers. One time I actually solved the white and yellow layer. (Don't ask me how, I think I used (accidental)commutators) Anyway after that I gave I to a beginner tutorial to solve it and neglected it for some time. 2021, I became inspired by a friend to learn CFOP and improved ever since.

Learned to solve a Rubik's brand from the Rubik's website when I was 10. mainly did it because of covid (and to impress girls people let's be honest).
I jumped from 50 seconds to 35 seconds in a week, learned CFOP, got to 25, and have improved to 22 about now. I learned several new methods when I was averaging around 29 and switched to Roux for about a week. Roux didn't work for me. I stuck to CFOP and am nearly sub-20 now.

The first cube I ever solved was a GAN 365m in 2017 when I was 7. I loved it and then started doing cubing. My dad was a very good cuber so he had so many cube in his office. He got me into cubing and now me and him have a point system at comps to race each other. If you get a PB thats 2 points. For every solve you get 1 point. If you get a PB avrage you get 3 points and if you get a WR you get 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 points.

You should change your proper age then in the profile settings. It states 22 years, but from your story you're eleven.

10 unvigintillion points! That's a lot!

As a small kid, I managed to figure out how to solve a face (not layer, just face) on my own, but for some reason I had the preconception that solving the full cube would be too difficult so I never even bothered to learn. Then a few years later I got into secondary school and saw my classmates playing with cubes, and I guess that changed my mind or something. (It's been a while; I don't remember the details.)

Add about a decade and here I am.
