How long where you cubing until you went to your first comp.

[Thomas.Caleb]

I started in 2019, didn't go to my first comp until 2022. Have been to only 7 comps, and my first comp I got a 3rd place podium with a 13.16 average. At my latest comp in Janruary, I got a 9.11 average and a 6.05 single in different rounds.

My first comp and your first comp where on the same day in 2022

Abot 24 yers )
I started cubing in 1981 and my first competion was in 2005.
I was also in the audience of the first Swedish championship in 1981, but I didn't compete.

I was 1 when you went to Ur first comp

I was 3
I always find it weird that most cubers are younger than me

I started cubing when coinman did (1981), but didn't get to my first competition until 2007, so it was 26 years for me.

I started cubing in December 2017 but really locked in on improving in October 2020, and went to my first comp on May 7th, 2022. 4.5 years in between starting and competing and 1.5 years in between starting speedsolving and competing

I learned to solve a cube On December 25th 2021

For me it was 6 months but I taught my friend at school how to solve cube and he went to his first comp Hampshire autumn 2024 2 weeks later and got a 58.64 average!!!

7 months after starting I went to a comp and got a 17.03 average for my first ao5.

Noice !
Still suprises me that there are people who got sub 20 quite quickly (i took 1 yr 9 months and counting)

Ive been cubing for about 1 year 9 months now, and still havent went to a comp yet.
I plan to in July tho so nearly 2 friggin years

Yh first comp is like 1 yr, 10 months and 9 days after when i first solved a 3x3 (3/9/23)
Hopefully i can pull off a Sub 20 ao5, recently ive been getting those alot more after I switched to a Meilong M i set up myself.

I started cubing on July 25th 2022 but my first comp was on July 8th 2023 so about a year. I averaged 17 but got a 22.92 avg r1 than a DNF avg r2 after because I didn't hold the timer down long enough

My son recently learned how to solve a cube sometime in mid-June learning the beginner method on youtube. He told me he wants to do a competition so I found one close to us coming up in less than 4 weeks, so he will be doing his first competition after cubing for 7 weeks lol. I told him he's only competing with himself so whatever happens, happens. I don't see him getting past round 1, but I'm hoping he can meet other cubers and has a blast while he's there.

I learned how to solve the Clock around 1990 and the 3x3x3 around 1995, but in both cases I quickly stopped. I relearned how to solve in 2011 and my first comp was (not surprisingly, given my WCAID) in 2014
