How did cubing change your life?

HOW DOES EVERYONE PROGRESS SO QUICKLY?!

Literal hours of daily practice, no joke, some days I cube over 7 hours. I have one online class left and am not working until may-june sooooo....

I started cubing around March 2022 after choosing to teach my class for a speech project, and I just got immediately hooked and kept wanting to get faster. It added so much to my life and I've met so many more great people. Now I'm obsessed and average 15 on 3x3.

Idk how everyone goes to sub 30 so fast It took me 3 years to get to sub 30, my friend @EmmaTheCapicorn is sub 30, she’s been cubing for 5 years

Don't watch brody the cuber, he expects an average cubers first solves to be 40 seconds

My first timed solve was 13 minutes

It feels like most ppl start at that level

 

[Areli Gómez]

My friend @EmmaTheCapicorn and I both practice about 3-8 hours a day depending on the time we have. I have more time since I am homeschooled. She lives in the US so we don’t really see each other but we hop on zoom and practice together

 

[SpedCube]

I'm homeschooled too, its great. What cube do you main?

MF3RS M (my family is broke so i still use cheaper cubes, for 4-7 I main YJ MGC, 2x2 I use an actually pretty expensive one, GAN 249 V2 M)

 

[SpedCube]

Nice! Nothing wrong with cheap cubes, there are some amazing ones out there. Plus, a good cuber shouldnt be confined by the price of their cube (to a certain extent, of course)

About 15 years ago I was on a week long vacation at the beach with some friends. The week we had booked ended up with a big storm coming up the coast, it rained the entire time we were there. Since we couldn't enjoy traditional summer beach activities, we headed to the local book store. Since I'm not much of a reader, while they were browsing new books I headed over to the puzzle section. I spotted a Rubik's brand 3x3 that came with an instruction book on how to solve it. I figured that I'd make learning something new my goal for the week. By the end of the week I could solve the 3x3 on my own in about 2 minutes and I was hooked. After doing some more research I fell in love with twisty puzzles. I spent the first few years focusing on my speedsolving skills. The more I explored the twisty puzzle world I started to become way more interested in how many unique and complicated puzzles there were out there. Speedsolving hasn't really been my main focus for quite some time now. I currently enjoy collecting and figuring out how to solve new and unique puzzles. I currently have an ever growing collection of right around 150 different twisty puzzles in my collection.

I saw a cube for the first time at a Gamestop around December 10th 2021. Our family was doing some Christmas shopping and I said that I’d like to try to solve it. One of my brothers bought it for me and I immediately scrambled it up. I maybe solved the white cross but then looked up a tutorial (My only regret in cubing was not trying to solve it on my own first). I solved it that night in bed because I was not going to sleep without solving it. I took this picture at 4am when I solved it for the first time. I used both J perm’s tutorial and the Rubik’s website because for some reason I couldn’t understand J perm’s last layer example. Fast forward a year and 4 months and now I have over 40 different cubes and 15,000 3x3 solves alone and I average about 15s on 3x3 now. Also, I got my tonsils removed in mid February of this year. That was the first time that I didn’t solve a cube all day. I’ve carried a cube with me literally everywhere since the day that I started. I ordered an Rs3m 2020 and weight 4 lube on Dec 30th 2021 literally 5 days after I solved a cube for the first time. By the time that it arrived I already knew F2l and 4 look last layer. I am 100% addicted to speedcubing.

Nice, my story is kinda like that after my family came home from holiday.i started to watch cubing videos and i immediately got hooked I didn’t have a cube but u had a McDonald’s 1x2x3 and I used to use that. Since my sister‘s birthday was coming, I got a present I chose a gan rs. And literally the day I got it I changed the setting of the cube and Learned intuitive f2l 4 look last layer (kind have learnt that not fully tho). In one month, I average high 20’s. I use 5 look last layer now sometimes it can also be 6 look. So that is why I am learning full lol and full pill.

I started cubing in 2008 when I was 13 years old.

Cubing changed my Outlook and my attitude, making me more aware and cautious in my action across all activities and my career.

I am indebted to cubing yo.

I'm just a verry boring person I started cubing when I was 9 years old and now I'm 14.
3x3 just under 20 second so any thing from 9 to 17 second, I have only done three 9 second solves
and 4x4 1min and 30-50 seconds 2x2 any thing from 7 seconds to 2.
