How many times have you solved the cube?

[Ezy Ryder]

I usually do a hundred solves on qqTimer and another hundred or more without counting the number of solves, so ~190*1.(3)*365= ~92 000. But there's no tens of thousands option. Sad-face.

 

[Andreaillest]

Been cubing for ~4 years, so about 70,000 or so. Gah, Idk. It's been so long...

 

[Godmil]

Well prisma has me at just over 5,000 in the last year, so I'd guess.... 8,000.

 

[rubikmaster]

I think I solved it about 15,000 to 20,000 times.

 

[JianhanC]

Been cubing since March 2009. I think maybe 15,000.

 

[Achifaifa]

Can't remember. But at least 100 solves a day. Not since I started because the first months it costed me minute and something to do it, but I'd say about 30k 3x3 solves.

 

[Sillas]

I think that is something like 20,000-30,000

 

[insane569]

2584 OH 3x3
7414 3x3
Give or take I've been cubing for about 4 years(seriously for 2)
365x2=730(Assuming I have solved it atleast once a day for thoughs 2 years. Probably more.)
=10,692 Give or take a couple solves. this is only 3x3. I only have a couple 4x4 solves and 2x2.
All stats come from prisma puzzle timer.

If a person has done 1 000 000 solves in 20 seconds each, that means they spent 231.5 days cubing. If you add 10 seconds for inspection, it's 347.2 days. If you add 15 seconds for a scramble (which is very little time in my opinion), and 5 seconds between solves, you get 578.7 days, which is almost 1.6 years. Now assume you cube for 6 hours every day. It would take 6.4 years to get to 1 000 000 solves.

4~ sec inspection, avg 15~, 7~ scramble. That's about 50-75% of my solves. I chose 1 million, but I'm probably closer to 800-900k. Who really knows?

 

[Dacuba]

I just did some math, and I'm surprised I am not even close to 100,000.
It is about 50,000 maximum after 1 year and 9 months.

Edit: But it is probaly more in the 20,000 to 30,000 range. I'd say 30,000 max instead of 50,000

If you've really solved that often, I think you should be much faster than 15 seconds.

 

[Godmil]

I'm going to call 'bull****!' on almost anyone who estimates at over half a million.

 

[Kyle™]

If you've really solved that often, I think you should be much faster than 15 seconds.

I just don't have very nimble hands. I averaged between 14-17 seconds for the bulk of my 9 years of cubing. I just suck most of the time.
Stefan, you've also been cubing a very long time. I'm interested in your solve count
Godmil, you must be new here.

 

[adragast]

Just out of curiosity how many cubes do you think someone like Erik Akkersdijk or Yu Nakajima have solved ? Erik has been about 20s or less for almost 6 years, he uses now less than half the 20s taken as an example by somerandomkidmike and he has been doing pretty good in one-hand, feet, blind, ... where he also solves the 3x3. I recall Yu saying he had been cubing 6 hours a day before the WCA 2007 and even though he is practicing less it is still not completely impossible (6 years 6 hours a day with 20s per solve against almost 5 years, practicing hours a day, 6 at some point with less than 10s per solve). I do not imply both have reached 1 000 000 solves but I would not call it ******** if either acknowledged a figure close to it.

PS:
I just checked this:
http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...hon-in-Hungary&p=102748&viewfull=1#post102748
4700 cubes for 24 hours. If you manage that many cubes every weeks (3.5 hours a day), it would take you less than 5 years to reach 1 000 000. I find it a bit unlikely but in a few years that would not surprise me...

 

[~Adam~]

50 solves a day for 2.5 years ≈ 45k

edit - why isn't 10s of thousands on the poll? It seems like it would be the most common aswell.

 

[Godmil]

Godmil, you must be new here.

Yes. and 9 years, is a long time, but even if you were doing a hundred solves a day (every day) for that 9 years, it would still be less than a third of a million. to get close to a million you'd need to be doing 300 solves a day... which is close to the amount that people tried to do for that 10,000 in a Month challange... and even when people really tried for that month, nobody could keep up the average. So unless you're saying you're spending a huge chunk of your waking hours every day for the last decade just cubing, then there is no chance you're solve total is ANYWHERE near 800-900k. So the only infomation I could have missed by being kind new here is that it's common knowledge that you 1) have no life outside of cubing, 2) are a known troll, or 3) have no concept of large numbers.

Snyder claims 1.7 million

 

[Owen]

Why does everyone solve so much? It's not THAT fun.

 

[Godmil]

Snyder claims 1.7 million

I'd allow him close to a million, since he's been doing it for over 30 years, but 1.7 seems a bit too much.
