Time for your first Megaminx solve?

[larosh12]

As the title says what was the time for your first Megaminx solve ? today I did my first solve in 8:42.18 secs . Is this normal to get such slow in the beginning or "Is megaminx not my kind of puzzle? " I use a qj megaminx

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Lol. My first time was very close to that. I think 8:32. You'll improve don't worry.

Megaminx definitely takes a bit to get used to. I think my first timed solves were 6:xy

Yea it would have been something like that for me. After practise, I got stuck in a rut around 4 minutes for ages. Now I'm around 2 minutes.

 

[larosh12]

I am having problems with recognition .. probably because my qj is black and previously I used to solve white 3x3

 

[NoobyCuber]

My first time with a Megaminx took me 16 minutes. Heh, I'm not very fast.

7:30 ish was my time for my first solve ever. I got mine when I already understood 3x3 enough to transfer the ideas.

My first solve was a dnf... but when I got my actual mega, it was 8:30.xx and then the next was a 5:xx.xx after the first solve and now I avg 1:03.

My first entry in the mega race thread:

(12:36.16), 7:44.31, 9:35.22, 7:43.10, (7:18.30)

These are the first timed solves I've done

Anyone else done checkerboard on a megaminx? It's so fun! Not perfectly possible though, two edges will be mispermuted. OR has anyone done OH megaminx
? I did that once..

MadeToReply is Richie Lim. His avatar is Jayden McNeill (me), and I happen to resemble Cameron Stollery because of my hairstyle (Cameron being the person in Feliks' video that you were talking about).

As for my first megaminx solves, they were around 5 mins I believe. Now I average 1:20-1:30ish
