What non-speed related achievements in speedcubing are you most proud of?

[Toquinha1977]

I mean, obviously we're proud of cracking sub 10, sub 15, sub 20, nailing a BLD, winning a comp, and the like. But, what about the related achievements? For example, how many people have you taught or tutored to solve? How much free crap have you gotten from cubing? What's the most bizarre/hilarious form of multitasking you've been able to achieve while speedsolving? So on, so forth.

Mine:

-Actually being paid to do it for a feature film
-Mentoring a young kid for a gifted students enrichment program in speedsolving, helping him get to under a minute
-Being interviewed on the news for organizing a competition
-Organizing said competition

I remember when I had trouble solving the 2x2 while holding my breath... Now I can solve the 3x3 fairly easily while holding my breath. Not 4x4 yet though

also, so far I have taught 6 people how to solve the cube, and 3 of them know 4LLL

I'm teaching 3 people, but one of them is too lazy to memorize even the 2 look OLL and PLL

Mucklow: they are speed related..


I've traveled a lot through cubing, I guess that's kinda an accomplishment.

The crazy amount of stuff I've learned and discovered.

[kinch2002]

I've taught around 20 people now. 10 of them average sub-1.
I managed to forget to tell my parents that I was going out the country for a weekend. Don't think my Dad knows yet still.

Hmm, I don't think I've actually achieved anything good in cubing apart from 2x2 and 3x3 unofficial PBs -.-

Oh wait, I think I discovered this f2l alg: F' R U R' U' R' F R. That's it.

I got free breakfast once from a bet with a manager at a Waffle House, saved 8 dollars.


Oh, and I learned a few algorithms here and there.

Ah, sorry I read it wrong.

I would have to say when I was cubing in a restaurant and people gave me compliments which made me feel good inside. Mmm. shallow.

But still, my origami dragon is pretty impressive.
