I had messed around with my cube since the early 1980s, never got past the middle layer of beginner's method for memorization (can do F2L), but could solve with singmaster's book. Two (or three) years ago, I ran into brunson at a friend's get together in the mountains, and he was playing with a speed cube.
A few weeks ago, I dug out my old cube... so slow, binding, sticky, icky... and decided I should finally get a better cube. Last Monday, I logged onto Amazon, decided the DaYan GuHong looked cool and ordered one. Then I decided I'd start trying to learn the rest of the moves while I waited for it... and discovered this forum, and lots of cool methods -- and the rep of the GuHong, and hmm.... maybe a teardown and lube will save my old cube from the trashbin....
But compared to you all, I'm slow. Sloooooooow. Hence the nick. (and to most of you, I'm old, too...)
What I've learned in the last two days has already improved my F2L time greatly. Looking forward to picking up more tricks. My personal goal in to be under a minute (for at least one solve) by the end of summer.
