I'm pretty new to cubing actively. I've owned a 3x3 for many years, but just recently got a decent one and learned to solve it more quickly. Since then, I've become obsessed with getting more different puzzles! I now have a few 2x2s, several 3x3s, a 4x4, a 5x5... and I'm expecting a pyraminx, skewb, and square-1 next week!

There will likely be a megaminx in the near future and probably another NxNxN soon...

SO, my question is... How many different puzzles do you have and solve? If you compete, do you enter all of the events or do you have a favorite one/two/few?

I'm sure the responses will be all over the place. I was just curious if my sudden addiction has afflicted anyone else. Feel free to name your favorite puzzle and why... Mine is the 4x4 currently because it's providing a distraction from the 3x3 that I have been practicing a lot.
 
I basically just solve all of the competition puzzles regularly, one of each cube type (11?) but in total I have like 50 puzzles (Most of them just different brands of the same cube), most of which I don't solve because they're pretty bad.

I find my favorite puzzle is usually just based on how well my puzzles are preforming :P. I used to like 4x4 and 5x5, but then my 4x4 broke and my 5x5 is locking up all the time, so right now I like 7x7 the best best since the cubic Aofu 7x7 is awesome.
 
I tend to stick to 2x2 through to 5x5 and Pyraminx (I practice blind too) so I suppose that's 5 puzzles. I do have various mods and higher order puzzles but I concentrate on competition events. You may need a bigger range for your poll as plenty of people do lots more than 7 puzzles.
 
I solve all the cubic puzzles from order 2 to 7 fairly regularly. I have a 9x9 and a pyraminx and megaminx and some cuboids, but I don't really pick them up that often.
 
Depends what you mean by "regularly". I solve 2x2 and 4x4 weekly for the reddit weekly competition but don't solve them at all outside of it.

But that's still in the first category in the poll anyway. :p

E: If I compete I'll do everything I have puzzles for, except bigBLD and FMC. But aside from 2-4, OH and BLD I don't expect to do well in most events.
 
I'd call weekly regular I suppose. I solve my 2x, 3x, and 4x everyday. I've only solved my 5x a handful of times on weekends (but that's about to change.) I would call all 4 regular; as long as they're not collecting dust.
 
I own all the WCA puzzles plus Mirror Blocks and the Mastermorphinx, around 50 in total. I solve all of the official WCA puzzles but really only time 2-7 (and OH and BLD). I'll usually compete in everything though, even events I never practice, I really see no reason not to.
