When did you achieve the milestone of sub -20?

[KboyForeverB]

Sub -20 is a very difficult milestone to get over but many cubers have overcome it. I, personally, don't think I am exactly sub -20 just yet but still, it's getting more and more closer. Some people took years, others took months. Most people give the advice to just go slow and look ahead, or, PRACTISE!!! Both work very well...

I got sub 20 around my second comp. After that, my times went up, and now they're hovering around the line between sub 20 and 20+.

My times improved so much, after improving my accuracy (in turning)

August 30th 2010. Hopefully.

nvm.. 4 months more or less

 

[M4rQu5]

4-5 months after start of speedcubin

I forgot.

Not yet, but I probably would have already with a different method. Sub-20 with Corners First is deemed very difficult.

First sub-20 avg12 - 7/21/09
I took at least a 4 month break since then.

On Feliks' Wikiepdia, it says he was able to reach a sub-20 average in only 71 days after first learning how to solve the cube.

Hehe, that discussion page is funny.

These kind of discussions are not very interesting until we know what "sub 20" means.

First sub 20 single? avg12? avg100? Competition avg? Atleast 50% of all your solves are sub 20? 90%?

before the hsc 2010!!!

4-5 months. At the clinton iowa tournament 2010 i got my first sub 20 average 19.99 LOL. They kept going down from ther now i am 15-17 sec.

First sub-20 average of 12 took me just under 5 years. First average of 100 probably took another couple months after the first average of 12.

It really depends what is considered sub-20:
Sub-20 single: ~1 year
Sub-20 official single: 1.5 Years
Sub-20 a5: ~1.5 Years
Sub-20 Official a5: 2 years

I never decided to slow down my turning, so my lookahead was really (and still is a little) bad. I also tried to discover F2L myself, and came up with really slow algorithms.

I'll be sub-20 sometimes, and sometimes I won't. It's quite frustrating.

It took about 11 months for me to average sub 20.
