I upgraded from my OG V-Cube 7 to a modern cube, the Yufu 7x7. I timed myself for the the first time ever on this puzzle (also the largest puzzle i have ever timed myself on). I got 19:36.98 haha. The only big cube knowledge i have is just stuff i figured out intuitively, the edge flipping alg i learned about a decade ago, and the Lucas parity alg.
Fun, exciting, rewarding, a milestone...not fast.
