How old were you when you started cubing?

[DavidWoner]

i started cubing when i was almost 18, and i've always felt like i got a late start compared to most other cubers. so i was wondering if most cubers got started way before meor not.

14? yeah, I think I was 14.

Wow... it's almost been two full years of my addiction. haha

 

[Faz]

started cubing on March 30th.

I was 12 and i am still 12.

Man, i have gotten good fast. Thats why i beat harris chan in an unofficial event, fastest time to reach a sub 20 average.

How long did it take you to get to sub-20? The best I know if is ~60 days.

I started cubing at 15, but started to seriously cube at 16. I don't have a clue why I didn't start earlier, considering my aptitude in Maths and dexterity in my fingers (from playing instruments).

 

[Stefan]

Don't remember, but judging by old pictures I started when I was five.

 

[Durben]

I started this year, February 22.
I reached sub 20 just this April 23, 2008.

 

[ConnorCuber]

I started a month before my 13th birthday.

I started cubing in the summer of '94. For at least 4 years I cubed with the same non-lubed knockoff cube using a bad layer-by-layer system with a last layer that took forever (try solving the edges by using just F U R U' R' F'). Best average: about 1 minute 10 seconds. But I still loved doing it.

It almost seems like it happened in a different life.

I started on April, 17th, 2007. My birthday is on September 9th, 1992. So I was 14 when I started. Now I'm 15, turning 16 in three weeks.

[Escher]

it was around the beginning of May this year when i got my first. it took me about a week to get a sub-minute, then another few to get a sub-40, then another few to get sub-30, and over the past couple of weeks my averages went from 28-30 down to 17-24. I havent hit a barrier yet but i know its coming... anyway, i was 16 then, 17 now.

 

[Henxu]

I'm 15 and I started a year ago so... 10? xDDD 14

 

[StachuK1992]

i started about christmas last yr. 15 then, 16 now
sub 35 barely...

 

[CAT13]

I'm in 10th grade now and I got my cube in the summer between 7th and 8th grade so I'll say I was 13. I think I learned how to solve it the day after my birthday.

 

[Kian]

started at 21, i'm 22 now.

 

[Callum]

I started cubing 3 months before my eighth birthday and I'm 9 now.

 

[PCwizCube]

I started cubing when I was around 12 and a half. Now I'm 13 years old and averaging ~21 seconds.

 

[cwdana]

Well, I vaguely remember getting one when I was about 13 or so. Never solved it then. So I guess that isn't really "cubing".

I got the next cube when I was 23 in December '07. 24 now.

Talk about getting started late in the game.
