How long have you been Cubing?

[cubersmith]

Solved my first cube in summer 2008. When I was 10, but didn't start speedcubing until summer 2010. I now average 31 seconds on 3x3. 9 seconds on 2x2. 16 seconds on pyraminx. 1.80 on magic. 2:10 on 4x4 (lol) I hope to go to my first comp this year.

I love speedcubing and i wont be stopping for a long time.

long

7 months of cubing gave me a 17.10 average of 12 on 3x3. I also average 1:1x.xx on 4x4, sub 3 on 5x5, sub 5 on 6x6, sub 9 on 7x7.

You have been on this forum for 8 and a half months, may I ask why were you on this forum for a whole month and a half before you started cubing at all?
Also, you should update your sig, because if you have a 17.10 average of 12, your PB is probably not 17.23

My math teacher back in 7th grade taught everyone to solve a cube at the end of the year, so I've known how to solve one since May 2007. I started trying to get faster in November 2009.
Now I'm about to go to my 2nd competition (DC winter) and I really want sub 20 or at least sub 22 by then. I stopped for like 3 months last October, and then I was almost sub 20, but now I'm CN. So, it's a trade-off.

I'm comming up on 3 years.

After a quick search with some related search terms I can't find a thread that only asks how long you've been cubing. Cool thread idea. I've been cubing for 12 years 8 months 4 days (which includes 3 leap year days ).

25 years (primary school). Until ~3 months ago, my method was:
Cross,
First Layer Corners,
2nd layer,
Orient edges,
Permute edges using only the Sune algorithm (not even anti-sune)
Permute corners using only the Bowtie OLL algorithm (the one that starts R L' U...)
Orient corners using F D F' D' / D F D' F' Average time ~2-3 minutes

Learnt about Frichrich like 10 years ago and thought "78 algorithms, that's impossible".

Changed my mind after seeing a bunch of impressive stuff by Faz. I now average ~40 seconds, and have completed my first successful BLD. See you at the Aussie nationals.

45 average. 2 months.

 

[ExtazyCuber]

3-4 months
sub 20

 

[Max CUBErick]

Everybody develops very fast. And I, like a turtle, almost sub 20 in 8 months...

@ extazy cuber: get a life lol

no srsly, nice job and keep going
I just got consistent sub20 after 10 months

I solved a cube about almost 2 year ago, but I've only been speedcubing for almost a year.

I started in 1979-1980. No internet in them days so first solve too a few weeks! I had to teach every one at school how to do it back then! Eventually able to solve in under 60s then (1980) with the original Ideal brand cubes. Cheap Taiwanese knock off's used to explode!!!
Took a few decades off until I bought a 25th anniversary edition and been messing with them since.
I must say the latests developments in cubes has been fantastic. GuHong is my dream come true! I've collected quite a few over the past 30ish years!
