AGE

I'm not fast. The others are slow

 

[AvGalen]

I like to think of it the other way. You are fast (compliment) and I am not (neutral). Your way is more like "I am not (neutral) and you are slow (a little insulting)".

I guess everything is relative.

Haha, I actually don't mind being called slow by an amazing puzzle solver, who could destroy me in any puzzle competition. I find it funny that the cube has existed almost 30 years and you (Matyas) are about to break, or are very close to breaking tons of records, yet you aren't "fast". How many cubes have been sold worldwide? 400 million?

A few weeks ago I counted how many cubes/puzzles I solve in a day.
3209 puzzles(includind magics, piraminx, S1, clock, and cubes(2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5))
and 1460 (only) cubes(2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5)
Multiply it with 424(number of the days since I cubing)!

what? this means you solve every puzzle over 300 times a day on average? don't you leave your home sometimes?

Or maybe,because he's so fast, it doesn't take that long

 

[AvGalen]

Let us asume M?ty?s did only 3x3x3. Scrambling+inspection+solving takes at least 30 seconds. (1460*30)/60 = 730 minutes or 12 hours. That is 12 hours. And besides that M?ty?s also solved 1800 puzzles. Even if thos were al Magics, It would have taken about 5 seconds each. (1800*5)/60 = 150 minutes or 2.5 hours.

Doing 2x2x2 instead of 3x3x3 would make this a little more possible, but he also states that he did 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 and Pyraminx/Clock/Square1/Master Magic.

I hope M?ty?s meant to say he did this in a week, not every day.

 

[Erik]

yah, 4 hours a day is a lot but still it would be very much puzzles in that time...

 

[AvGalen]

4 hours means (4*3600)/3209 = 4.5 seconds per puzzle. I don't think this could be reached with any puzzle, not even Magic. Remember, you have to restore it afterwards.

 

[Mátyás Kuti(shaipo)]

Sorry guys, not a day, a week. Sorry, sorry, I was a bit tired

 

[AvGalen]

I can imagine you being tired after all that cubing

Are Erik and I correct in hour "4 hours a day" estimate?

And thanks for not competing last week, Erik is no1 again.
I will post the results in the next hour. All time-entering has already been done.

 

[deKeijzer]

I`m 18 and 3 months .
Started cubing about a year ago. But haven`t been cubing a lot the last 6 months, I should start again and get under the minute average . And whenever I solve the cube it feels like I`m taking very long, does everybody have this or is it just me?

 

[AvGalen]

welcome back to cubing

Remember, everything is relative. If someone sees me solving a cube in 60 seconds they think I am very good. If I solve it in 45 seconds they don't see the difference, but it feels a lot better to me. If I solve a cube in 30 seconds I think "average" and if I solve it in 20 seconds I check for timer-errors or luckies and feel extremely fast. Then I see Erik / M?ty?s / Harris / any other top-cuber solve a cube in sub 15 easy and I feel really slow again.
