How did your averages change through experience?

What is your current 3x3 average?

  • Total voters
    73
In Months
2: Sub-50 (Learned full OLL and PLL. Full CN)
4: Sub-30 (First comp. Did horrible, super nervous)
6: Sub-25 (Stayed here for a while because I was practicing all other WCA events and didn't 3x3x3 as hard)
7-10: Sub-15 single, sub-20
10-12: Basically sub-18. Sub-10 single (Two of them, one realllly lucky)
13-16: Sub-21 lol. Wouldn't call myself sub-20 yet. (Switched to ZZ and stopped using OLL/PLL and only use COLL/EPLL. Learning full ZBLL)

Random breaks in there for school but probably didn't really hinder me. If I ignore those breaks, I have been cubing for 16 months and two weeks.

My PB averages of 100 start at 13.72 and go to 11.53, so I thought it'd be pointless to show those.
 
1-3 learned CFOP and Petrus and failed miserably
4 learned Roux 1:00+
5-7- idk what happened, I didn't time for a long time and averaged like ~25
8- (December) approached sub-20 barrier and crossed it on Christmas break
10-11 (now) broke the sub-15 barrier and beyond!
 
I don't really remember what I was averaging before like Jan 2012 or so, so I'll start there. For reference, I first solved a cube March 2011.

Jan 2012: 15-16
July 2012: 12-13
Jan 2013: 10-11
July 2013: 9-10
Jan 2014: 9
July 2014: 8-9

Nowadays I'm at like mid 8
 
Not really sure what experiene I've had bu here's what I have so far

Month 1 (started to use fridrich) around. 1:00
Month 4 Sub 20
Month 8 Sub 15
Month 12 Sub 12
Month 15 (now) averaging high 10s

I'm considering changing to ZZ...is it worth it? If so, can you give my any tips for EO LIne? I'm having trouble understanding it.

Mid 8! Nice!
Hahahaha I love that signature.
When I first came to the forums, I thought Berd was like magical cuz he has so many posts.
Then I actually read some of them.... :)
 
Mine is something like this:

Week 1: learned beginner method. around 5 minute solves.
Week 2: learned 4LLL. around 2 minute solves.
Week 3. PB 1:42
Week 4: Learned basic F2L: average: around 2 minutes
Week 5: PB 1:12 ao5: 1:30
Week 6: PB: 58s ao5: 1:15
Week 7: PB: 47s ao5: 58s
Week 8: PB: 42s ao5: 54s
Week 9: PB: 37s ao5: 48s
Week 10: PB: 32s ao5: 39s
Week 11: Learned Full PLL: ao5: 1 minute
Week 12: PB: 32s a05: 50s
Week 13: PB: 30s ao5: 40s
Week 14: Learning better F2L: ao5: 50s

At the moment I am doing mainly slow solves trying to familiarise myself with more efficient F2L methods (less rotations, inserting front and back, learning weird case algs etc.) so my times have got worse. Also I have started to forget some of the less common PLLs so need to drill those as well.

I always get slower when I learn a new technique though. so anticipate in a few weeks I should be breaking 30s PB and getting my ao5 below 35s.

Then it's time to learn full OLL.
 
First started cubing( Around 2010)- I don't even know, I just learned to solve
Speedcubing (August 2012) - Around 1:20 average
April 2013 (First comp)- Best average was a 16.29
August 2013- 15ish average at comps, 14 at home
August 2014- 14ish average at comps, 13 at home
March 2015- 12 or low 13 averages on a good day

Well I hope you become a F2L god in the future :)
Good luck!
