Hi everyone!
My name is Martin and I'm 20 years old. I come from Münster (Germany) but have been living in Bangkok (Thailand) since September last year.
I'm still very new to speedcubing and got introduced by my good friend Patrick, maybe better known as pjk, whom I met here in Bangkok through Couchsurfing.
I bought my first cube ever, 3x3x3, less than three weeks ago. Of course I immediately wanted to learn how to solve it but Patrick had something more challenging in mind: He wanted to teach me first how to solve it blindfolded before I could do it the "normal" way.
I accepted the challenge and 10 days later I did my first successful blindfold solve (it was the third attempt). In the beginning, I expected it to be much harder but Patrick could convince me that it is doable. However, I'm still very slow and need about 16 minutes on average, 8m memo and 8m execution.
My goals for the next time are to work on both faster memorization and execution. Yesterday, Patrick introduced me to Roux, so I'm working on the first step of building two 3x2x1 blocks now as well.
