I'm Paul, nice to meet you!
Have a book.
My first "solve" :rolleyes: was when I was maybe seven.
I was at my great-grandmother's for a week, and she had an old cube.
After spending a week on it, frustrated that I had to leave without solving it, I decided the best way was to peel the stickers off and put them in order before I left
I'm amused at that.
fast forward longer than I care to admit o_O and a friend of mine picked up a Rubik's brand from wal-mart.
I borrowed it to mess with over a weekend, then promptly lost it (I KNOW I had it in my backpack....), so after a month of looking, I gave up and bought him a new one. a few months later I got a flat tire, and while digging in the trunk, bam, cube. So it became mine. I'm annoyed that he threw away the stand accidentally haha
I didn't realise it would become an obsession, taking the place of yoyo's.
I see a lot of people dumping on the Rubik's brand, and while I'm waiting for tax money to get a real speedcube (Gan 356 X will be mine! Config: no magnets until I get good, and IPG V5, not numeric. I like full control over settings. Stickerless looks hot.), I'm determined to make the most of the one I have. Plus, I feel the rubik's brand cube is a tad maligned. Mine is well broken in, and turns quite easily. Fingertricks don't require the presumed great strength, and I can corner-cut with it.
I'm still pretty slow (average I'd say 2:30), but that's less the cube and more me not being all that great, and still doing the Dan Brown youtube post method ( I guess that's beginners?) on top of being a tad lazy about learning, which is why I'm here! Plus I do too many un-optimal moves, like whole cube rotation, and some unnecessary wrist turns.
Eventually I'll make a youtube video about the cube I have, because as much as people throw shade, I'm pretty happy with the performance, (especially when compared to one out of the box ugh) and I'm curious what other people would think about it. I'm sure once I get the one I want, I'll need to change my huggies after feeling the difference.
