How long did it take you to go sub 45?

[ben1996123]

5 - 7 years

Started cubing 2002 - 2004ish, I forgot the year, and was still over 2 minutes in 2007. October 2008 I averaged 50 (currently using F2L and full PLL/2 look OLL, same as now ). First competition was june/july 2009 and I averaged about 27 then.

Still not there. I got to a minute with the beginner's method and now am at 2 minutes because I started learning F2L Monday. Give me about a month or so...

 

[uberCuber]

I don't know exactly, but it took 2 months to get sub-30, so I'm guessing a month or less for sub-45....

 

[Ranzha]

Five months, on and off.

 

[cubersmith]

took me a week to get to about a minute average, went camping and out of nowhere started averaging 40

and look at you now

I didn't start speedcubing for a about 10-12 months after I first solved the cube

2 months and 6 days. Subbed 30 exactly 3 months after getting my cube. Did my first sub-20 about 2 weeks ago and I've been cubing for 6 months.

Around 4 weeks here.

 

[Reinier Schippers]

2-3 weeks pretty fast but I practised 6 hours a day at that time XD

 

[Zarxrax]

Took me about a year of almost daily practice (ranging from a few minutes to several hours a day) before I reached sub 45.

im still not there :'(

Why is there no section for 1 Year +? I never got sub 45 with the beginner method, I switched to Matts Block Roux and that got me down to 30sec, then to full roux and now I'm down to 19sec. *NOTE* I still don't know ful CMLL.

4 months I used beginners method, switched to CFOP, times went way up. After that, probably 1 1/2 months after switching to CFOP I got to sub 45. Sub 30 CONSISTENTLY probably took 3-4 more months. Though I was on/off for cubing pretty much the whole time. Some days I practiced, others I didn't.

 

[CubeCraze]

A whole summer. Switched from beginner's to fridrich in the middle.

 

[5BLD]

A month. Then switched to Roux from CFOP.
