When can one call oneself a "sub 20 cuber"?

[Meisen]

I've been wondering as to when i can brag to my friends and relatives (and anyone else around) about me being a sub 20 cuber.

When can you say you have broken that boundry?

A single sub 20 solve?

Avg of 5, 12 or maybe even 100?

A streak of X sub 20 solves in a row?

When 50% or more of your solves are sub 20?


You can see my times in my signature. The only info missing there is sub 20 solves in a row, which i believe is only 4.

I do not consider myself a sub 20 cuber yet, but my personal opinion is that when i get an average of 100 below 20 i'm quite close, if not there.

What are your thoughts and opinions on the matter?

When you consistently get sub 20 averages. Ive gotten ALOT of sub 20 singles, but I'm an in no way a sub 20 cuber.

 

[4Chan]

I think you're a sub-20 cuber.

My opinion is an avg of 12.

 

[StachuK1992]

I call myself sub23 having an avg of 100 sub23, so I think personally, an average of 100 sub 'n' within the past month, otherwise, one that hasn't practiced in months and got a sub20 avg of 100 a long time ago could say they're sub 20, when they are really like 30s now.

I think you're a sub-20 cuber.

My opinion is an avg of 12.

By that definition i'm also a sub 19 cuber, but that just feels like a lie to me... I get far to many sup 21 avg of 12 to let that one good average dictate my "sub x" cuber status

 

[Jani]

when you get sub 20 avg (no matter if it is avg of 5/12/100)in a row and consistently

@ Stachuk1992

An average of 100 within the last month qualifies you as an sub "n" cuber?

I like that definition

For people that don't bother doing long averages i guess consistency of solves below "n" would qualifiy.

50%, or AO100. Even though AO12's are pretty accurate, I'm more of a 22 second cuber rather than a 20 second cuber, as my AO12 would dictate.

I think a sub-20 cuber is every time he/she solves a decent cube, it will always be under 20 seconds.

My Best avg of 12 using ZB is a 19.12 but I'm still not a sub-20 ZB cuber because I have a lot of 20-22 solves and avgs.

 

[Novriil]

I think not the PB avg of 12 is sub-20 (for example PB ao12: 19.99 -.-)

But then when you get many averages sub-20 and YOU think that these are okay times.. not some WOWOWOWOWO times but.. you feel... comfortable with them? Bad explaining but..

I think I'm a sub-20 cuber.. And I have a sub-15 PB ao5

Mostly I get times like 17-20 so.. sub-20 I guess.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

When you can get sub-20 with ease. You don't have to try at all.

 

[Chaos2011]

I think it should be when you get a sub-20 avg at a competition, because then u are officially ranked sub-20. That's just my opinion.

 

[StachuK1992]

no. Some people can't attend competitions.

 

[foxdi]

i guess its when you have consistency on sub"n" solves ? ..

but i still do get solves like 22.xx or 21.xx when my normal average is 14-16s:fp

 

[ISuckAtCubing]

you can call youself sub-20 is when you get above 20 sec, you would get pissed

 

[PatrickT]

I didn't consider myself sub-20 until I had an official sub-20 competition average, but I had done sub-20 averages at home before.

 

[JLarsen]

I'd say when at least 70% of your averages are sub 20, then you are sub 20. I don't call myself sub 15, as nice as that would be. My PR avg 12 is 14.44

Check my signature

But I wouldn't call myself sub20 yet...

I think that's his point. It's sub-20, when being sub-20 doesn't sound so great to you.
