Trust me. A week is nothing. I've been stuck at my average for months.

Always wanted to learn how to solve, but never took the initiative. My brother taught me how to solve it LBL I think it was... last year.
anyway, I just stuck with that, read up on Fridrich, and actually started cubing for realsies about 2 months ago, probably less... maybe about a month and a bit.

I think I started soon after I turned 14... not 100% sure though. I still haven't really done it for real - just barely sub 40, and after not cubing for a few months I took a couple averages and I'm like just barely sub 45/50 lol. I need to learn some more PLLs.

I started when I was 24. That's 1,5 years ago now. When I started there was no rubik brands to buy in my area. I eventually found a metal cube in a bookshop. Not the metallic plastic kind, but real metal cubies. Fingertricks was not possible and oil was used to lube it.

I solved my first cube back when I was 12. (But I am 13 now)

 

[Ville Seppänen]

I was 16 and still am. I got interested in cubing October 22nd when my friend solved it in 2:30. A couple days later I bought a cube, looked up the solution (I was stupid, I didn't even try it myself) from Dan Brown and started cubing alot.

[Escher]

16. am 17 now, learnt 75 days ago (i worked it out so it could go on the unofficial world record pages ), and im sub-20 most of the time.

Most of my friends learnt around the same time i did, mostly earlier. i wish i'd discovered it sooner... it would stop distracting me from A-levels and instead would have distracted me from stupid SATs (am english btw)... o well

 

[Neutrals01]

hmm...I started 17 and still 17..started 25th may 08..113 days of cubing counting from that date till this post..still cant reach sub 20... sad..

really sad to read that so many ppl cube less than this amount of days and already reaching sub 20 average.... I am still stuck at sub 35 average...dam...

I started on July 13, 1980, when I was 13 years old.
I was one of the first with a Rubik's Cube in The Netherlands.
The cube was not on the market yet. A friend brought it from Czechoslovakia.

 

[Boopyman]

I started in May this year so about four months ago

 

[fcwy1]

I started in 2007 August, on my 14th birthday. i got the cube as a present

 

[cookingfat]

first solve on 24 August 2008 (7 weeks ago) I'm 27 years old, averaging under 50secs (PB of 29.92). best BLD time is just under 10mins.

edit - now at under 45 seconds, and 8:07 bld. (beat that now - 7:55)

 

[choipster]

Bought one when I was 13 but forgot about it after like 2 weeks and rediscovered it when I was 17. I learned the Petrus Method from Lars's site and got down to a sub-40 average in maybe a month to a month and a half. Got stuck there for a couple months and fell out of cubing. I'm 19 now and am getting back into cubing. Got myself back to a sub-40 average now. I doubt I'll ever hit sub-20, but that sure as hell won't keep me from trying

 

[ManuK]

Started 9 Weeks ago.

 

[Derrick Eide17]
