Cubing Survey

[MEn]

Hello everyone!

I have a friend that is gathering information for a study that calculates how much practice is required to have your speeds increase. If you would like put down your information here in order to contribute to this study, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It's a nice idea, but I'm not sure if the results will have any accuracy. I've taught a lot of people martial-arts, and the ones who get anywhere, are the ones who think about it properly; you can practice all day every day, but if you don't think about it correctly, you'll only ever achieve a slight improvement. Do the survey, but be wary of the results, that's what I say.
