Hi guys,
Last saturday I randomly wound up on BadMephisto's beginner rubik's cube guide and have been practicing ever since (and lurking these boards aswell).
At first i had to practice on my laptop because I didn't actually have a rubik's cube anymore,
so I knew the beginner algorithms by heart by the time I bought my cube yesterday.
I also learned F2L today , I can solve it with no real problem, but I am very inefficient and 'finding' pairs takes me a while,
never sure what the best way to get the cubicles in the top layer is.
I did my first timed run just now (used the cubetimer scramble sequence) and it wound up to be 2:44.16 and to be honest,
I am quite happy with that time! I was expecting it around to be the 5 minute mark.
Needless to say i have no fingertricks up my sleeve yet.
Also ordered a stickerless GuHong because after only 2 days i seem to scratch the stickers alot. I'll probably buy a stickered ZhanChi in a month or so.
P.S. My cross efficiency sucks aswell ^^
TL;DR
