Hey speedcubers. I am eager to join your ranks. I am 32, and have been solving Rubik’s cubes for probably 20 years but never really looked into speedcubing until now. My personal best is 54 seconds, and I actually achieved that by coming up with about 7 algorithms on my own about 10 years ago.
I am basically getting into this more right now because I need a hobby that doesn’t involve looking at a screen. I work in animation/VFX, and my eyes need a break.. but
I know 3 unique ways of solving a Rubik’s cube and none of them are the beginners method you’d find in the “instruction book” that comes with a new cube.. I know that because I watched my nephew solve one the other day and I realized I use some of the same algorithms but for completely different things.
I also discovered this week that one of my methods is somewhat similar to the Roux method. But it is still very different. I still don’t know if the method has a name.. (if anyone knows the name I am very curious..). Here is the breakdown:
Bottoms corners, top corners, top and bottom edges simultaneously. Then solve the middle.
I have been using old gunked up Rubik’s cubes for years, and just recently purchased a GAN cube, and am loving it.
anyway, currently teaching myself F2L and PLL. I’ve always liked more of an intuitive approache than this, but if this is what I need to do to lower my time, I’ll do it
nice to meet you! (I’m sure this was more than you wanted to know.. haha)
