How long

[SpedCube]

Hey, I've been practicing since like september, but got serious about a month ago. I've reached about 35 seconds. Just wondering how long u all have practiced and where you're at.

 

[AJT17]

I have been cubing for around 22-23 months, and I first averaged around 1 minute, but I am currently averaging around 15-17 seconds.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

I've been cubing for around 9 months, and I average 16-17 seconds.

 

[Running for cube]

Same as above, but more like 17-19

the hardest part for me is memorizing the algorithms. I've memorized the 4 basic pll ones, but am struggling with the others. Melts my brain

I have actively been cubing for 2-3 years now, but I have been able to solve a 3x3 for much more than that. I average 9 seconds on 3x3, but I'm really out of pactice now so probably more like 10.

The more algs you learn, the easier it becomes. I'm 100% sure that if I really try, I could learn EG2 or TCLL (both alg sets that consist of 42 algs) in less than a day, but I wouldnt have even considered that humanly possible when I hadn't learned full PLL yet myself.

I’ve been cubing since August 2020, but I took around 1.5 years off and just recently came back. I average just barely sub-15 on the 3x3

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

I have been cubing on and off for around 7 years now! I took a very long break after a year or two, but I started up this January again! I average around 18-19 seconds on 3x3, but I also typically practice other events more often.

 

[baseballjello67]

Been cubing for almost two years (excluding the time that I quit) and I average around 11-12 seconds. I average around 2.5 seconds in my main event, 2x2.

 

[Abram Grimsley]

I've been cubing for 3 years and average around 15 seconds.

 

[EthanMCuber]

I’ve been cubing for a bit over a year. I average 18-20 seconds, but I don’t practice 3x3 that much.

 

[sDLfj]

I've been cubing since late May of this year, but I took a break for around 4 months. I currently average around 32 seconds.

 

[NigelTheCuber]

I started 13 months ago and average like 13 seconds, but I haven't been doing 3x3 for all of that

 

[Kaedenthecuber]

i started about 23 months ago and i average 13 seconds

but the first few months was mostly 2x2 so around 20 months

 

[Caden Fisher]

I started last Christmas and I’m averaging about 16.5 and know full Pll and all but 10 Olls.
I can solve all WCA puzzles and have about 35 cubes

4bld, 5bld and multiblind?

All puzzles. Not all events. I can’t solve a 3x3 bld yet but I’m working on it.

Disclaimer: those events are really not as impressive as they seem to an outsider.

To a non blind solver they are. The fact that anyone can solve a 5x5 or dozens of 3x3s blindfolded is just so insane. I have the highest respect for anyone with the dedication to do that.

I understand what you are saying, as I used to think the same. This is why i said 'as they seem to an outsider'. It just seems so inhuman to memorize all that. But think about this: back when you couldn't solve a rubiks cube, didnt you think that solving one was incredibly difficult? Sure, you knew there must be a method, but it still seemed immensly tough. If a non-cuber would tell you how incredible you are for solving a cube, I'm sure you would try to convince them they can do it too.

I can’t solve a 3x3 bld yet but I’m working on it.

All the best learning 3BLD, I'm sure you'll succeed!
