Hello,
My name is Peter Newton. I am a cuber from Canada, I average 19-21 seconds on the regular 3x3. Big cubes... horrible times, but I know how to do them. So I guess I am not a total n00b but there is still a long way to go.
Fact: competitions scare me to no end, so I will probably not go to one until I am averaging sub-15.
The 3x3 method I use is Fridrich like many of you.
I am currently working on a set of algorithms that will serve as an extension to Fridrich. It allows users to lower the 6 Fridrich steps (Cross + Pair 1 + Pair 2 + Pair 3 + Pair 4 + OLL + PLL) to 5 steps. Of course there are many algorithms, but I believe that it is better than ZB (no offence to Zbigniew Zborowski or Ron van Bruchem). That is because the recognition is far easier for regular Fridrich users to pick up.
I won't say anymore now, but I hope that I can learn from all of the other members here, and see you soon on a thread!
