Time for your first Megaminx solve?

[ryanj92]

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..

No, but I've done swapped centres a bunch of times, helps kill the time ^^
On topic, too long probably. I have 8-10 min solves stored in my PPT history...

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).

...And you happen to be sub-Cameron, now

My first time was 16.38 minutes but I was using a simulator. I know average six minutes with the simulator and beginners last layer (it so sucks.)

55:XX. That's fifty-five minutes, not seconds. That was done with a method that I came up with - on a Chinaminx.

My first solve on a megaminx was 6:30xx
After that I continued and did an averag of 5 6:40xx 7:44xx 6:16xx 7:26xx = 6:52xx average of 5

I think my first timed solve was around 8 mins too and that was a couple days ago. So far I have done less than 20 solves some timed and some untimed. So noob at megaminx. But I just got a sub-4 single and I'm cheering about it though it's such a slow time haha.

My first timed solve was 12:09.17. Then a 10.03.90 Mo3 the next day then a 8:26.61 Mo3 the day after that. That was a year ago, and now I average 4:30. My suckage is amazing

I am not a big solver of megaminx or pyraminx so my first ever megaminx solve was about 20 minutes.

When I do on occassion I do solve a megaminx now, I expect to do it in about 6:30 .

I have a QJ and a Shengshou megaminx.

over 10 minutes..

7:40. Cubemania lists a 19:00 dnf. But I scrambled it before learning any ll stuff. Someone told me at nz champs 2010 that megaminx was like 3x3 f2l until ll.

4:55

 

[SMS Majidi]

my first time is under 6 min by Qj megaminx...

 

[SweetSolver]

I've never actually timed a megaminx solve because I hate mega p) but my first solve probably took like 30 minutes hehe.

I didn't know how to solve a megaminx the first time I solved it. Took me over 17 minutes with an inefficient LL method.

I didn't know how to solve a megaminx the first time I solved it. Took me over 17 minutes with an ineffective LL method.

I think you meant "inefficient". "Ineffective" would mean it didn't work...

Edited. English is annoying at times. "Effective" and "efficient" are one and the same thing in Norwegian, so stuff like that gets easily mixed up

14months and counting. I got a megaminx around 14months ago, got irritated with how stiff it was and never finished the first solve. Still haven't. Kinda forgot I have it, might play with it tonight.

9: 28 with a crappy mf8 mega. Now I average 2:15 with a Dayan.

My first five megaminx solves, for weekly competition 2007-34.

I had just bought my first megaminx, and had not looked up a method for solving it - I figured out how to solve it on my own during this solve. First solve: 22:14:19.61 (22 hours); second solve: 22:59.69 (22 minutes). Just a couple of weeks later, after learning a real method, I was down to 6 minutes.

It's really fun to go back and look at my old times. Wow, I was really slow at everything.
