Comparison between your times and how long you've been using your method

[vloc15]

this is just like a survey especially for the 3x3 puzzles
you could also include other puzzles if u want

just post your PB's with your average and as well as how many weeks, months or years you have been using your method(fridrich, petrus,etc)

3x3 single: 16.99 average: 26.37
3x3 OH: 44.26 average: 58.58

been using fridrich for 4 months now

 

[Ellis]

single: 13.51
average of 5: 17.70
average of 12: 18.xx

If you consider the difference between Fridrich and LBL as only pairing a corner and edge before insertion then I've been using Fridrich for about 8-9 months, although I could do a simple and very slow LBL for maybe 8-9 years before that.

and why did you switch your average to 26.85?

i edited it..sorry about that its 26.37 the 22.86 ave was the ave i got wen i broke my PB but if i was to solve maybe a 100 time my ave is still at 26..i just did 30 solves just recently and its 26.37

 

[minsarker]

single pb is 58, avg is 1:13 for 3x3

been cubing for 1 month with a corners first method

 

[erc]

average:14.58sec(avg of 5)
single:9.59sec
I have cube for 1 year.I use fridrich method.

 

[JohnnyA]

Avg: 19.63 (10/12)
Full single: 13.59

2x2x2
avg. of 5: 4.73
avg. of 12: 5.21
Using Ortega for 7 months.

 

[tikva]

After 6.5 months of Fridrich:
single (PLL skip): 14.19,
A5: 20.26,
A12: 22.52.

Now I am switching to Petrus.

I don't think time spent on cubing matters as much as how much/how hard you practice. I've been cubing for 5 years and there are people who are faster than me who started a year ago.

 

[Escher]

i started on the 5th of may this year (so thats like nearly 8 months), and i average around 17-18s, with a full step 10.05 single, and non lucky-full step 10.9x (something around there). i think my PB avg of 5 is like 15.5... EDIT update - that evening i got a 14.94 avg of 5

and i concur with shelley, except i'd be a little more exact and say HOW you practice is the biggest factor, rather than how much/often. for example, ive recently become a lot more consistent in getting good times non lucky (less than 15/16s) recently as ive been practicing my lookahead in solves a LOT; turning as fast as possible as well as tracking as many pieces as possible.

 

[Ryanrex116]

Single: 24.77
A5: 35.93
A12: I don't keep track of this, but i think it would be around 40.

After 10 months of LBL. I keep changing steps though.
I guess I have been doing 1 month of:
Cross
Corners
2nd Layer
2 look OLL minus headlights case. (I do sune, anti-sune. I have not memoed the real algorithm.)
Perm the corners using J-Perm
Perm the edges. (I don't know Z perm)

 

[somerandomkidmike]

Um...

3x3- Partial Waterman method (blockbuilding First layer)
single lucky-12.24 (skipped R-layer corners)
single full step- 14.16
Average 10 of 12- 18.XX (i forget)

I've been using this method since September.

 

[daniel0731ex]

LBL+incomplete 2s-oll

3x3 single: 36.55
3x3 average: 42.26

i have been using LBL for 3 months, started learning 2sOLL a month ago
havent finished memorizing them all yet(still need to learn head-light case)

 

[bichettereds]

Im VERY slow...

3x3 single: ?? my guess is 1:1x
3x3 average: 1:26 last time I tested (a few days ago)

I learned how to solve the cube 3 months ago. Was happy just to be able to solve it and didnt pursue any other methods untill about 2 weeks ago.

I use the Fridrich Method with a 2-Look OLL and 2-Look PLL. I have them all memorized except the "headlights" OLL.. but I still pause to think about it before I make any moves. My F2L is what kills my time though. I have alot of work to do but only have time for maybe 10-15 minutes a day during the weekdays.

 

[zippur]

pb: 33 seconds
avg: 42 seconds

i use a beginneres method for the first 2 layers with a 2 look oll and pll. trying to learn fridrich f2l, then eventually oll and pll

EDIT: Just learned 2 look oll and pll a few weeks ago
