Hey there, I'm jarthur36 and I'm new to this forum.
About Me:
First a bit about myself. I'm a 17 year old guy from england, I'm currently at college studying computer science and further mathematics (alongside some science modules) and I'm pretty much a standard nerd. I play PC games from time to time ranging from DotA to CoD to WoW but spend the rest of my time just browsing youtube, 9gag and facebook in search of entertainment.
My Cubing History:
I first learnt to solve the 3x3 rubik's cube maybe 4 years ago when I found one in my room and realised that It had never been solved. After a bit of initial practice learning the beginners method algs, i was able to average 3 minutes (This cube was aweful!). I then took a break, happy with the knowledge that if anyone gave me a cube, i could do it for them. Maybe a month ago i met some friends at chess club at my college who could also solve the cube. They however were much faster and had some other interesting shaped puzzles too. One of these guys even has the world record for a 2x2 followed by a pyraminx. This got me thinking, "How fast could I solve this thing". So i got thinking, learnt CFOP with 4LLL and practiced away. After maybe 3 weeks I now Average just over 1 minute on the 3x3, mainly due to my poor F2L. I also love the 2x2 cube due to its portability and the fact that everyone thinks its easy until you let them have a go before solving it before their eyes in seconds as soon as they give up. I average 10 seconds on the 2x2 At the moment using full ortega. I am looking to go to some tornaments as soon as i can find any and i feel I'm fast enough.
