Hello! ;)

[Frozz]

Hello everyone! I'm a 17 year old male from Norway and I've been "cubing" for a month or so.

My obsession began when I was at the mall a few weeks back and stumbled upon a Rubik's brand cube on the shelf in a bookstore. I figured it was time I learned how to solve that thing, so I paid a ridiculous 40 dollars to take it with me.

I quickly mastered the beginner's method and tried solving it as fast as I could. I was pretty satisfied with my 3 minutes, but I was so sure I could do a lot better with a better cube and some practice, so I went on ebay and ordered a few cubes (a Zhanchi, Ghost Hand and a Cube4You). The zhanchi turned out to be my favourite, and I quickly improved with it.

My best time now is about 1.03 minutes. It's not all that great, I know, but I'm determined to get better. I'm doing f2l and 2-look last layer, but I pause a lot on cross and f2l to identify the pieces. This is likely what's dragging me down.

Well, anyway; I'm really excited to be here and I hope I'll find a way to contribute somehow.

Thanks!

So tell about yourself. I hate when people don't say anything about themselves in there introduction threads.

So what are your other hobbies? What music do you like? Play and instrument?

Hi.
Being able to track F2L pieces and look ahead comes with time. And it's nice to know that a beginner knew about better cubes. rubikmaster's F2L competition should help you a lot, and my LL competition (link in my signature) may also help.

Right, sorry about that.

Well, what can I say. I'm still in school. Studying to become an EMT and hoping to get into medicine after a few years of that.
I pretty much like all kinds of music, with the exception of "mainstream" pop and hiphop. If I had to pick one genre I'd say Symphonic Melodic Metal (Nightwish is a good example of that).
I play both guitar and piano though my skill on either isn't anything to brag about.

That's about it
