hello folks!

[Mira]

Just saying hi
I am pretty sure I will use this forum mostly for research, as I am a fairly new cuber and just want to learn more.
It all started when I moved into to this silly huge house in november and did not have anything but matress on the floor and a rubik's cube for a good month.
Now I am hooked.
I also do flowart, and want to focus on solving a cube in a beautiful way rather than speedsolving. I'm solving it in 1-2 minutes one-handed now, 2-3 while hula-hooping. I do understand that I have to get my speed up, learn a whole lot of fingertricks and algorythms before I get anywhere near my goals on getting a cube to be a developed performers art, but I enjoy every step of it. Thanks in advance for all the help!

Excuse my poorly written English, it is not my first language.

-Mira

Welcome! Your English is fine.

 

[ottozing]

hey, so what is your main language btw? and like zane said, your english is just as good as most of ours

 

[Mira]

I am already exploring the wiki and FAQ, very handy!
My main language is norwegian and I do speak english everyday, my written language is not as good (get teazed a lot by my american and english friends, but I don't care, I speak more languages than them anyway, mwahaha!!)

Then you of course know the Swedish expression - "Gå med håven".

I always feel spoiled because english is my first language....

 

[Mira]

actually, I don't know that expression. Please explain?

And I feel just the oposite as you drewsopchak I can see both is handy

 

[Rune]

Just a highly unsympathetic form of begging. "Fishing for compliments".

 

[ThomasJE]

Hi.
There are better cubes than a Rubik's brand. Many beginners do make that misconception.

 

[Mira]

@Rune, whatever, I am not here to fish, I am here to get quicker with my cube.

@ThomasJE: I have noticed, and for now I only got the cube from toys r' us. I have worked it quite a lot, so it is smooth, but I am looking forward to get a new. I need to read more up on what cubes people are recomending before I buy. In general... I need to know more about cubes!

welcome,Mira. again I'll say your english is as good as ours, just feel free to speek it.

Hi Mira, welcome to the forum.

If you want to focus on solving the cube in a beautiful way rather than speedsolving, you might want to have a go at Fewest Moves. Instead of solving the cube as fast as possible, you'll get an hour to find the shortest solution. I think in terms of cubing beauty, that's as good as you'll get.

On a side note, I think a video of you cubing whilst hula hooping would be really cool

 

[Mira]

I feel free to speak, Marryme, it just has turned into a habit telling people to accept over my english

@hcfong, I think that is the best tip I have gotten so far. Thank you! Might share a video later, when I feel more confident about it all. Playing with the big boys now, hehehe.
