58.75 seconds any good for the book method? and any help getting faster?

[danny-paranoid]

so I've been cubing for about 3 months now, and slowly my time's gone from over 3 minutes to sub one minute, and I want to get faster. As of now I use the method from the book which is probably the slowest method you can get :fp so any tips on getting faster?

cheers
Dan

It gives a pretty fair overview of speedsolving. Welcome!

I didn't realize that there was a cube method in the bible, care to share the verses?

Matthew 5:34 "But I say unto you, Solve not by Roux, for it is slow. Solve not with cross on top; Nor with cube rotations; for that path shalt blind your eyes to the majesty of look ahead..."

Which cube do you use?

Matthew 5:34 "But I say unto you, Solve not by Roux, for it is slow. Solve not with cross on top; Nor with cube rotations; for that path shalt blind your eyes to the majesty of look ahead..."

lol

Which cube do you use?

I've just got a £10 one from argos, I took it apart and lubed it so its faster, and I'm just beginning to learn F2L without algorithms, just the basics

Not being rude or anything, but how come so many people ask this question? It repeatedly says all over this forum to use the search function first and there are a few stickied "How to get faster" threads too and a simple googleing would have led them to Chris Hardwik's speedcubing site ( I just tried now) where it has links for CFOP method.

It's probably from the Qb source.
