-Age: 12, 13 in January (I'm probably the youngest person here!)
-Background of cubing: Well, I started out in the June of 2007.
Thats the first time I actually 'solved' the cube, but ever since 3rd grade, I was interested about it, I could always solve one side(without any method), but that wasn't enough once looked at my cube, I wanted to solve it.
So, like any person would do, I went on the internet, and learned the Beginner Method, actually, Youtube , (I learned it from this guy names Dan Brown).
So within a week I could solve it in 1:40's.[Beginner]
within 4 monthes I could solve it in 45 seconds.[Fridrich]
And now(Oct. 18, 07) I can average 35.xx seconds [Fridrich]

-Age: 16.5
-Background of cubing, how long you have been cubing, personal records, personal goals, etc.
I had been interested in it several times in my life but I usually gave up quickly. In October last year I learned to do the first two layers by myself and in May this year I picked it up again and solved using basic LL algorithms I found on rubikaz.com. After that I learned the Pethus method.

My best average is 34.43 and my personal best 26.75 seconds.

My current goals are become sub-30 and maybe later learn the 7 OLL and PLL.

-Occupation: Student and artist wannabe (?).

well, I saw a video of a guy solving the cube in 1:30 and thought: "hey! how did he do that?! is it possible to solve that cube?!"
then I bought one and managed to do 1 complete layer in one week...tried some other approaches, but my cube had a flipped edge, so I could never make all crosses then I gave up and searched the internet...

that was around july 2005, so 2 years and a half of cubing...

Personal records now:
10.55 single, 13.54 avg on 3x3
1:04 single, 1:20 avg on 4x4
