Y'all spend a lot of money. Competition $60 + maybe $40 travel Cubes $150ish net (2x2-7x7, skewb, pyraminx, megaminx) 3 years cubing.

Link to the DIY video for custom cubes for those who saw this and thought it was amazing. First time I've seen this. Great content! Instructions for making your own custom cube

1:28.03 Been away from cubing for awhile. :-)

Thank you all for your responses!

I am confused by your response. Do you mean that it is more efficient for 4x4 but not other cubes? Having that 2 minute time as a benchmark to look at is really helpful. Thank you Isaiah.

I have picked up the cube again after a few months away. I can solve a 3x3 with two look decently well. I do regret not jumping to two look on the 3x3 sooner as I feel like it was hard for me to transition from the beginner algorithms I had learned originally. I've started playing with the 4x4...

I have a thunderclap v3 with magnets and it has started clicking really loudly but only in certain planes. For instance, depending on how it has been mixed R, F, U might not click but B will. As far as I can tell it is the white/blue/orange corner. It does not do this if I pull the piece out a...

Welcome to the forums :-)

Has this thread died?

You have a typo on the first screen. Missing the L in the first complete.

I'm disappointed that I haven't been on the forum recently to catch this one it looks like a lot of fun. I'm sure I would have been eliminated first anyway. Thanks for taking the time to put these types of competitions together!

I ordered cubes for my classroom in November and began learning over Thanksgiving break in order to teach my students the basics during the month of December. I am integrating solving cubes into my middle school curriculum. While I am a beginner myself it has been a lot of fun and I have had...

It looks like this hasn't been updated in a while. A lot of these are dead. I would love to see an updated version if there are threads still going. I found an active 3x3 that isn't listed: https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/race-to-sub-x-on-3x3-2022.86162/

Looks like this thread has been out of commission for a while. Is there an active 2x2 anywhere?

Thanks for the video, if it explains what you are talking about then I am exactly on the right track doing the look ahead that I am as I am still doing the beginner method which I have completely memorized and don't have to think about the algorithms. Sounds like maybe we were just talking about...

Can you give justification for this? It seems odd to actively discourage working on a basic skill.

I was stuck at the 2:00 mark on 3x3 for about three weeks until I started looking ahead. Got 59 last night! I'm planning on working on just a few algorithms at a time while I work basic skills like finger tricks, inspection, and look ahead. I'm having a lot of fun and seeing a lot of improvement...
