How fast did progress with cubing?

[ImJustANubCuber]

Started in November 2010 w/ Tyson Mao method + storebought
first sub-minute: early December, then learned intuitive F2L
January- sub-50, learned 4LLL, bought first DIY
February-April: practiced, practiced, practiced. went from around 45 to about 28.
May: learning full PLL, averaging sub-30 and two sub-20 singles (a 16 and a 19)

Started in April of 2008, learned from pogobat...first solve was 1:30.xx...I now average 15 - 16...it took me a year to drop from 22 to sub-20...

I've been cubing since august 2010, and I learnt Dan Brown's method, and averaged around a minute until in November when I learnt Fridrich. I got sub 30 in like january and am now averaging just above 20 seconds (intuitive f2l, full PLL and 2 look OLL).

First i progressed really fast in 3x3 but the only thing I did was 3x3. After a competition with only good 3x3 results i wanted to get faster at other puzzles. Then it didnt go that fast anymore. I am speedcubing for now a little longer than a year. i can solve the cube since christmas 2009. Uhm after a half year i was like sub 20 now im sub 14

I've progressed so slowly that it hurts to think about it. Thanks 85 move-count CF method!

85!? Averaging about 50-60 stm or less should be easy with a basic CF method. E.g. corners, three ledges, three redges, last ledge, last redge+EO, permuting midges.

I got my first cube in september 2008 (for my birthday) and after 5 days, I learned to solve it with some weird beginners method. I remember the last step was to orient the las layer corners. :confused:
After my first comp (november 2010), where I got an average of ~39.80 (still with the cube I got in 2008, Rubiks brand ), I started learning fingertricks and a few more algoritms. My avg5 PB is now 20.35 with Fridrich - 4 look LL.

I make fairly slow progress. I've been cubing since March of last year and I'm averaging 15s-17s. I mainly practice 5x5 though, which I've been progressing really quickly in.

 

[Dacuba]

I've been cubing for about 13.5 months
Average is high16 (16.6-16.8 bout that)

Single PB is 11.07

 

[insane569]

Non lucky PB is 14.20 i average low 20s
i started with a shitty dan brown method but went on to learn full CFOP and that started around october-november i finished all my olls and plls around january

I've been cubing for 8 months or so, single 24.xx and avg 36.xx.
Just learned full PLL today! (2011-05-29) But I'm still using a storebought cube so
Maybe sub 30-avg soon though!

3 weeks ago, I just started, I had average of 55. I was using beginner's method for F2L.

I learned F2L with Rido's hunting story and am getting averages of 35, with a PB of 28.09.

 

[Chrisalead]

I've been cubing since September 2010, average of 19 seconds. PB in sig. I use CFOP with all OLLs+PLLs. I think I will learn Roux some day because I think it's an elegant method.
I cube between one and two hours a day.

 

[Tiersy]

I bought my first cube in January 2008, stuck with Dan Brown method til I was getting around 1 min, then got pretty bored of it and took up Petrus. I now avg 40 secs and have a nl PB of 26.xx, I really wonder how much time and effort you guys must put in to improve so quickly... I feel hopeless when I read through comments about being sub 20 after less than a year etc, well done to you guys. I am lucky if I cube for 10 mins straight in a day, wanna change this and FINALLY get fast.

I have been cubing since october '10, I am now roughly 22 seconds average with a 14.88 pb

I used CFOP up until now, I will use that in next week's competition, but I think I will switch to roux, which I have been practicing after that
