Hello Speedsolving.com! I mainly do 3x3OH and 3x3. For OH I averge around 25 and for 3x3 I average around 18. For 3x3 I use the salvia method which not many people use.

EDIT: I am also very interested in the 15 puzzle and I would like to see it become an event or have its own competitions that aren't associated with the WCA

Welcome! I've never heard of the Salvia method; could you explain? Thanks, and I hope you enjoy it on the forums!

Welcome @The Professor Cubers to the forums. It is great to have you here and I am glad that you have joined. It is nice to see someone that solves with a different method, (says the one that uses CFOP) .

Welcome! I've never heard of the Salvia method; could you explain? Thanks, and I hope you enjoy it on the forums!

The salvia method has 6 steps:

• Line
• first layer coners
• middle layer edges
• first layer edges
• coll
• ell

Basically you make a line if two pieces on the left then put 4 corners on the bottom
after that you want to complete the middle layer the put in the bottom 4 corners. this process can take 20-30 moves. Next you do coll and ell which is around 18 moves on average. This method does have a lower move count (a lucky solve could be ~28 moves) but you can't finger trick quite as fast as CFOP.

Welcome. I'm surprised you don't specialize in the Professor's Cube.

Welcome. I'm surprised you don't specialize in the Professor's Cube.

I made the name of my youtube channel when I thought I was the coolest kid around because I could solve a 5x5. I'm trying to get into speed solving big cubes but my times aren't great yet.

Ah, so the name connection WAS intentional!

You are welcomed.
You avg. 18 secs on 3x3 and 25 on OH and I avg sub-15( CFOP) and 45 on OH
(I don't like OH that much).
BTW, do you know how to blind solve?

Welcome to the forums!

That's a cool 3x3 method; I hadn't heard of it before.

Interesting!

I do but I average around 4 and a half minutes.

Meanwhile, I average 10 minutes lol. BTW welcome to speedsolving
