what is considered speedsolving

my record is 15.63 seconds which i think is pretty fast but is there a specific time to be under to count it as speedcubing

 

[a small kitten]

Maybe. People usually say if your intent is to solve it as fast as you can you are already a speedcuber. And since speedcubers speedcube, I guess that if you try to solve it as fast as you can you are speedcubing.

To me the fastest YOU can go is speedcubing. Be it 8 seconds or 3 minutes. Its speedsolving... (me personally 20 seconds)

Erik says:

speedcubing means solve the Rubik's Cube as fast as you can with the desire of doing it faster every time, so it doesn't matter if you are at 10 minutes or 15 seconds of average to be a 'speedcuber'

In the extras for Pursuit of Happyness it is summed up.
"Being a speedcuber doesn't mean you have to solve in under 30 seconds, under 20 seconds. It depends on your intentions. If your best time was 2 minutes, and now you want to solve FASTER, then you are a speedcuber."


I might have gotten the numbers wrong, but the is it.

You two just repeated pretty much exactly what I said -.- ....

Only Fobo911 can be a wannabe-speedsolver.

Yes... you must be below 18.91 seconds to qualify as a speedcuber.

ROFL@BADMEPHISTO...

Just looking at the panda made me chuckle; his comment threw me on the ground.

Well, by any of these standards, I'm NOT a speedsolver, just an addicted cuber (well, :\\ 38 second averages don't count, do they?)

I would say, solving the cube as fast as you can, only if you have solved a cube before, and can consecutively solve it every time.
