How many solves do you think you've done?

[Matt11111]

I would say a few hundred thousand maybe. Probably less, because I've been cubing less since I picked up competitive Smash 4.

 

[Ordway Persyn]

for 3x3 only I've probably done 30K to 50K solves, For other events I have no Idea.

 

[JackJ]

Probably about 80,000 in 8.5 years.

Highly doubt it

I like how you say that you are about to hit 1 million solves and yet your official average is over-20. You would be easily sub-12 after ~100 000 solves or so, even if your practice habits are really bad.

If I'm in the range I said, then I'm still probably 2-5 years (if I keep it up) away from 1,000,000 solves.

And my official average (which was quickly rendered out of date) is almost exactly 20, which is the average I'd had for a very long time. Most of the solves I do are very absent-minded with a lot of pauses, not timed nor working on fluidity nor lookahead, so pretty worthless practice.

It is worth noting, however, that I did have a bit of a hiatus, can't remember precisely how long, but long enough to have to review my OLL's. A lot of the time I fiddle with my cube is also just spamming algs and triggers, meaning even fewer solves.
Basically, my projections are broad ballparking and there a number of factors that change the total a lot. I probably did overestimate when I said "I wouldn't be surprised if I've reached a million," but it's still a large number.

I do wish I had some sort of counter, 'cause this is something I've wondered about for a while. Without one, all I really know is that I spend a lot more time with cubes than most people.

Ok, let's see...
3x3:
Before I started using cstimer last summer, I had done maybe 200 timed 3x3 solves. I did more untimed solves though, so I would estimate I had done 600 solves by then. In cstimer I have 2935 cfop solves, 3649 roux solves, 99 zz solves, 126 hexagonal francisco solves, 22 triangular francisco solves, and around 100 warm-up solves and other random solves. Since I switched to Block Keeper I have done about 300 solves using it. I have done a bunch of untimed solves, I'd estimate between 2000 and 3000 of them.
So that makes:
600+2935+3649+99+126+22+100+300=7831
Adding the untimed solves makes it ≈10 000 solves
2x2:
I have 703 solves on cstimer and 65 on Block Keeper. I have done barely any untimed solves, probably under 50.
703+65=768
With the untimed solves it is ≈800
4x4:
I have 980 solves on cstimer and 5 on Block Keeper. I haven't done much untimed solves.
980+5=985
I'd estimate ≈1 000 solves including untimed ones
5x5:
I have 239 cstimer solves and 5 on Block Keeper. I have much more untimed solves than 4x4, over 50 of them.
239+5=244
≈300 including untimed solves
OH:
190 cfop solves, 274 roux solves on cstimer, and 63 roux solves on Block Keeper. I have done quite a bit of untimed solves, probably close to a hundred
190+274+63=527
≈600 including untimed solves
BLD:
201 on cstimer and maybe 20 untimed ones
≈220 solves
Feet:
223 cstimer solves and 50 Block Keeper solves. Pretty much no untimed solves.
223+50=273
≈280 including the few untimed solves
Pyra:
211 timed and under 50 untimed
≈250
Skewb:
128 timed and a few untimed
≈150
Mega:
564 timed and under 50 untimed
≈600
Adding all of that together makes:
10 000 3x3
800 2x2
1 000 4x4
300 5x5
600 OH
220 BLD
280 Feet
250 Pyra
150 Skewb
600 Mega
=14 200 solves
This is a pretty rough estimate.

ok, let's do the math, I cube a lot, about 50-200 solves per day, on some days 0. so let's go with 50 on average.
Been cubing for 3 years and 2 months.

50 x 1155 days = 57.750 solves.

One million here we come just 52 more years.

 

[xyzzy]

I've logged over nine thousand solves since November last year, so extrapolating from that a bit, I've done about 50000 solves since mid-2015. I used to be really slow before then (barely sub-minute), so the period from 2006 to 2015 probably includes 10000 solves at most.

So I guess it's somewhere between 30000 and 60000?
