Beginner misconceptions

[rj]

Lol you're not wrong there.

Though rj will probably say that the Weilong v2 is worth getting.

I used to think that a zhanchi was better than a guhong v2.

If I get one. I'm happy with my 2 v1s right now.

Who's the Brit?

Alexander Lau a.k.a. 5BLD.

I was convinced that once I got to sub-12 I would be happy to stop practicing 3x3 and move on to other events... little did I know, to continue to progress on 4x4 I needed sub-9 3x3 stage... ug

When I started, I said I'd probably stop at sub-30. When I got close, I said sub-20. Then sub-15. Now I'm trying to get sub-12 by the end of this year, and I don't think I'm going to stop.

I thought moyu use your house as their North American distribution centre and pay you top dollar to praise their products on this forum.

I never would have thought that the three fastest cubers in the world would be a Dutchman, an Aussie and a Brit anyway!

Isn't that Brit Asian?

Depends if we're talking ethnicity or nationality, I guess.

haha nope. Thanks for the idea, though... :rolleyes:

 

[DAoliHVAR]

i thought you had to learn full oll and pll for sub 20
thought there never would be a better cube than a zhan chi
my main's a yj sulong now.
is the chilong worth getting?
i heard its like the sulong but a bit faster

 

[ianliu64]

I thought 40 second solves were super fast and I thought 25 second solves were pro level.

I used to think my goal was to get sub 20 and then maybe let school take over again. Then I said sub 15. Now I'm saying I need a WR hahahahaha

I think my biggest preconception was that I would be satisfied when I achieved my goal... which was a sub-30 single. Now a sub-10 single isn't a million miles away, and even then I don't think I'll be 'satisfied'. Funny thing, cubing!

 

[BoBoGuy]

I thought vaseline was a good lubricant.
And also, I thought v-cubes were the best brand.
How wrong I was...

 

[IamWEB]

Here's something a little different:
I thought the video section on this site was for projects and ideas involving cubes (because I saw something of the sort when I first found this place), as I don't think I really knew about recording and posting averages all the time.

I got a sub-10 single. Fail handscramble.

I used to think Mr. Petrus still held the 3x3 WR.

I used to think that making threads like this would make me a notable member in the community.

I thought the 2x2 was automaticly solved when the first layer was done.
