READme: those WHO have A join DATE of NOVEMBER 2009

[thiJUMBA]

HELLO!

so age does not matter in the cubing world but the experience you have counts! i have made this thread to call upon all the people who have the same join date as me, to ask some questions and to see how everyone is progressing. the questions are:

1x) what is your current average?
1y) what method do you use?
1z) what is your personal best single solve?

i'll answer it to start off ...
x. sub minute
y. cross, intuitive f2l, 2 Look OLL (i know some other olls aswell), 2 Look PLL
z. 21.283 (LL skip)

 

[Cangurino]

x. 1:30
y. LBL
z. 53 lucky, 63 non-lucky

Edit: Oops, I joined in December

 

[thiJUMBA]

Damn thats still so good X)

 

[Cangurino]

Meh... it's not like I started cubing this year Just never learned really good methods.

 

[Jake Gouldon]

@thiJUMBA: sub-minute is a large span...

 

[thiJUMBA]

CBB?
try keyhole if you do decide to try and progress further...

 

[thiJUMBA]

@thiJUMBA: sub-minute is a large span...

i noe :fp

btw you got sub 15 so quick?! what method do you use?

^Just because he joined recently doesn't mean he began cubing recently.

I joined before Nov, but I haven't really been active at all until Nov, so I'm going to include myself in this:

1x) 42 secs. Was 40, but I use my magic, tetraminx, 2x2 and 5x5 much more now. I'm hoping to make them my specialty.

1y) Intuitive F2L, 2LOLL, 2LPLL

1z) My best is 32.xx secs. Lucky is 17 secs. 3 parts of cross and 2 parts of F2L done, 1 set ready to put in, and I skipped the 1st look of PLL.

i get sub minute with the same method and the worse part is i only practice with a 3x3x3 cube whilst you, the all rounder has got a 42 second average >.<"

there are 3 things i look at to see if the person is a good cuber (anyone can be a good cuber and the things i take a look at, aren't necessarily true):

-the number of posts
-the join date
- & the signature (as many people put AO12 - 3x3 = xx.xx for their sig but others don't)

My current average is about 35 seconds. Although i joined in November i have been able to solve one for about a year and have been practising since about september, my pb lucky is 22.06 and non lucky is 24.54.

My method, cross on bottom in less than 8 moves
Mainly intuative f2l but a few algorithms for difficult cases
about half of the OLL's (sometimes 2 look sometimes 1)
Full PLL

 

[jiknm]

average 40sec
cross
intuative f2l
2 look Oll
2 look pll
(learning plls now)

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Average in the 30s range (day to day it goes up and down, last two days was under 35s though)
Fridrich type F2L but intuitively except for one case that's an easy RUR'U' trigger 3x. 4LLL but I know a handful of OLLs and I think 11 PLL's (early on I mirrored PLLs so I could easily learn two at a time).

I've been cubing since August 2004, but I was doing keyhole method (without even really knowing it). My 4LLL was quite different than it is now (to orient edges I used Sune + this alg: M' U M U2 M' U M). I didn't start learning the Fridrich type F2L until August. I used to average 40s range with KH, and I had a PB of 32 (PLL skip). I now have a PB of 22.45 non lucky. I didn't start practicing heavily until September-ish. Maybe October. Wishing my F2L drops by another 4 or so seconds and my LL decreases by about 3 seconds so I can start learning the rest of the OLLs and PLLs.

If it's any consolation I've been cubing for over a year now. I'll soon be getting a Type C from Puzl and practising like a madman.

 

[Cangurino]

I've been cubing for 28 years and haven't gotten anywhere :rolleyes:

I think those averages in sig are pretty boring.. What about if someone is fast.. Not all sub-15-s are some great mindgiants who write right things.

Also I think that sig is more for a funny quote place or something interesting.. times are boring.

Well I joined in November 2008 (last year), so let's just jump back a year...

x. In the high-50's range
y. Just started Fridrich with 4LLL, still learning
z. Probably a high 40...

 

[ElderKingpin]

i didnt join today, but i started cubing relatively earlier then a lot of people on this site
I started cubing on September 9th, of this year.

1w) Started when i actually completely memorized how to solve it, i was in the mid 1:30s at a good solve and 2 minutes average
1x) Mid to low 30s
1y) Fridrich F2L with 2look OLL and PLL
1z) 26 seconds, with a PLL skip and an easy OLL (sune)
