How long have you been cubing for? *New*

[Riley]

A bit over a year... But I first solved it four years ago was when I was a kid, but I was not that serious about it.

 

[somerandomkidmike]

I feel so old... as a cuber.

 

[That70sShowDude]

First solved 6 years ago (1:13 pb)
Got more serious almost 4 years ago

 

[wasianrubiks]

I learned to solve a cube a little over a year ago but didn't get into solving like crazy and trying to improve till about 8 months ago?

 

[YddEd]

About 3 months, I actually started seriously when I first solved it.

 

[Andreaillest]

Over 5 years. Took a mini break somewhere in the middle.

 

[RubiXer]

4 months but the closets option is 3 :/

 

[MirzaCubing]

Learned October 2010. Didn't really start practicing after I attended Washington DC Winter 2011 though, which was in February 2011. So I'd say like 16-17 months

 

[KobaltKour]

2 months of speedcubing, 3 months since I solved a cube.

My parents brought me a 3x3x3 cube way back in 1981 at age 11. Even with two solve books (no internet back in 1981!), I could not solve it.

Yes, there was a Rubik's Cube craze in the early 1980's.

But in May 2009, I out of a childhood memory, tried again and using the same book that my parents got me in 1981 brought on Ebay, I finally solved a 3x3x3 cube.

Snice then I've solved many cuboids (ie 3x3xN and 2x2xN) and all cubes from 1x1x1 to 8x8x8.

Actually the 1981 book "Mastering Rubik's Cube" by Don Taylor that I used to solve the 3x3x3 in May 2009 has a awesome H-Perm for big cubes and it works for cuboids as well.

Here it is: R2 L2 D R2 L2 U2 R2 L2 D R2 L2

As you can see, no M slice turns ever here.

 

[cowabunga]

[Yes We Can!]

About 3 and a half years.

[chrissyD]

Started June-July 2009 but did no solving in 2010 because of exams

 

[RCTACameron]

About 3 years and 1 month. I thought that I had started on the 25th of June 2009, but then realised I was on holiday then, which I brought a cube on, so I must have started before then.

5 years

Wow, I didn't realise you had been cubing for so long. Why didn't you come to the first 3 Australian competitions?

 

[arcio1]

I could solve the cube about 5 years ago, but I started speedsolving 5 months ago. Don't know what to choose at poll

 

[DarioRubik]
