Hello everyone, I joined Speedsolving a couple of minutes ago, so it's my first post here. I'm from Austria (so English is not my mother tongue and I hope that I'm not making too many mistakes now and in the future here), where I'm also born and live. I'm 18 years old, and learned to solve the 3x3 cube before ... I don't exactly know, about 2 years and a half I think. Because I really liked solving this puzzle I started speedcubing and also discovered other bigger and/or more difficult puzzles that I am speedsolving now. The reason I'm here should be obvious: I want to get more in touch with the international speedcubing community (until now I was just registered in some german forums) and want to improve. In my surrounding there are (unfortunately) not many people, that are speedsolving the rubiks cube, but I know at least a few people that are able to solve the puzzle (I'm now counting an average above 1 minute not to speedsolving, especially because these people I know hardly ever measure their times). It's also a bit difficult for me to visit speedcubing events, because most of them are pretty far away, so I just visited 2 competitions so far and because it's such a special thing for me (because it happens so rarely) I mostly fail because of nervousness (fortunately not all the time). My times so far are:
3x3: 8,90 - 12,13 (avg of 5)
4x4: 57,77 - 1:09,75 (avg of 5)
5x5: 1:56,89 - 2:07,72 (avg of 5)
6x6: 3:52,22 - 4:17,84 (mean of 3)
7x7: 5:34,99 - 6:01,86 (mean of 3)
Megaminx: 2:27,80
My official times (these are my inofficial PBs) could be viewed in my WCA Profile, I think it should be linked somewhere in my profile here.
I am able to solve some other cubes or some other competitive forms (for example blindsolving, onehanded, or 2x2), but I just practice too rarely, so they're not worth mentioning for me (but you can ask for them of course, if you're interested in).
Apart from speedcubing, I a big music freak. That's also the reason for my username here (yeah, I was unimaginable creative there), because I really like heavy metal. I'm listening to quite a lot of bands, so I can't name all, but just to let you know in which direction it goes, there are a few I really like: Moonspell, Therion, Skyfire, Windir, In Mourning, Dark Tranquillity, Code, Chthonic, Blind Guardian, Vintersorg, ...
Furthermore I play the piano, but not very often at the moment, lost the interest somehow, but I'm sure, that this will change soon (because that's what always happened so far
). In about 3 three weeks I make my final exams, and then I'm officially out of school (the written part is already done and my grades were at least so good, that I don't need to worry about not passing the final test anymore (because I chose every subject I do in my written exams also for my spoken exams (I don't know, if you can say that this way xD)). My plans for the future are to study Maths (or Physics, but at the moment I prefer Maths), but before I have to work about a year (instead of going to the " Austrian Armed Forces" (got that word via translator xD), because we need to do some sort of civil service).
Yeah, I think that should do in terms of length.^^
I hope I will have a nice time here (and I hope the text isn't too confusing, I didn't really know where to start and where to end).
