What cubes/puzzles have you been able to solve without looking on the internet?
Note: this only counts if you looked for it SPECIFICALLY.
Looking up "How to solve a V6" would mean you didn't solve it, but applying reduction methods from the 4x4 and 5x5 to the 6x6 would count.
Also put WHERE you first solved it, if you don't know, just put you don't know.

2x2-at school, from a friend
3x3-on a bus in china
6x6-at home, same day I got it
7x7-a few days after I got it
Pyraminx-a day after I got it at home
Megaminx-the same day I got it... at home again

DQed from:4x4 (centers and dedges) 5x5 (Used my book)
 
Just completed my first 6x6 and 7x7 today yay me! I cheated on my first 3x3 solve, and feeling so ashamed, decided never to cheat again!

First (unaided) solves:
  • 2x2x2 (not sure when)
  • Rubiks Clock (again not sure when)
  • 4x4x4 - 10/03/09 - 3:35:39.12
  • 5x5x5 - 10/03/09 - 37:11.82
  • MegaMinx - 10/03/09 - 57:17.93
  • 6x6x6 - 05/06/09 - 1:31:51.04
  • 7x7x7 - 05/06/09 - 1:01:16.13
  • Square1 - 08/06/09 - Many hours!!

My poor square-1 has been sitting there, unsolved for a good three weeks. Think I might have another go this weekend :o

EDIT: Just completed my square-1 with zero help and lots of head scratching. V-happy right now! :D :D

2x2x2: the instant I got it
5x5x5: when I was playing with my friend's eastsheen before I had one
pyraminx:day I got it
mirror blocks: that one's easy, day I got it.
x cube: in the car on the way home from the store
square 1- after having it for 2 days, I solved and looked it up afterwards to get faster
megaminx: it took me a while-2 hours, but I figured it out.(at school, so this time was broken up into a day)
 
I solved the 5x5 a few times before I searched for the parity algs for redux. Also solve the 2x2, and the Rubik's World (3x3). That's all I have for now, but will be receiving the 6x6 and 7x7 over the summer.
 
The ones that I looked up:

3x3x3, 4x4x4, Sq-1, LL of Megaminx

I remember a similar thread to this but I couldn't find it.

Disqualified from: 3x3 (my gateway drug to cubing, of course) and 4x4 (had to look up OLL parity... multiple times, because I kept forgetting)

Attempted and failed (but still haven't looked up a solution online): Golden Cube, Bandaged Sq-1
 
2x2 (at home, found an old K-ball and applied algo's I knew from the 3x3)
5x5 (at school, someone took it and I managed to solve it once.)

looked up:
3x3 (used for the 2x2 solve)
4x4 (used for the 5x5 solve, reduction)
 
2x2x2
6x6x6
7x7x7
8x8x8*
9x9x9*
10x10x10*
11x11x11*
