What times do you consider to be "normal"?

[Cyrok215]

I was just wondering what Times on the cube you considered to be normal, for a cuber, and why.

 

[Edmund]

For me like 17's but umm... for all cubers maybe Minute-ish for people who don't care, 6 months in maybe 35 ish, 1 year in sub-20 ish, and yeahhhh. I think it's hard to describe normal.

 

[StachuK1992]

There is no norm in our sub-cult. I've been cubing for 2 years, and have yet to have a sub20 average.
But for the most part, cube a few months, you stop improving so fast, then that is *your* norm.

 

[jacob15728]

I say 2:00 plus. The majority of the population can not solve a cube, and the faster you go, the fewer people that can solve that fast. So there are clearly more people who can solve the cube in 2 minutes than who can solve it in 1 minute, 30 seconds 15 seconds, etc. thus making it more "normal".

 

[elcarc]

i think its safe to say alot of people on this forum are at least sub 2 minutes

 

[jacob15728]

Yeah, but there's a ton of people who can solve the cube that don't go to this forum.

There isn't really a normal time since you pretty much only compete against yourself.

I've been cubing for 2 months and I'm 35 ish.

On the thread, I think around 25 seconds would be average for "cubers".
I consider cubers as people who either go to comps, or meetups, or wish to. Being able to solve a cube doesn't mean that you're a cuber. So yeah, around 25 seconds methinks.

i agree with you, except change all the 25's to 35

A normal solve for me (when I'm warmed up and not casually solving or using another method) is a 14.xx, so I'll say sub-15. I don't consider a solve slow unless it is in the high 15s, though.

Yay, I'm normal then.

 

[mikaru]

if it's between cubers... i would say about 20-30... if it's between non cuber i guess it's 2:00+

 

[stevethecuber]

normal is probably 45 seconds to one minute

 

[Kian]

I don't see how the "why" is really much of a question. It's obviously very individualized. I put down 15-20, even though 15 is much more normal than 20 is for me. The range is still the best choice.

 

[Radu]

What's the point of this thread?

 

[antech101]

What you think is an average 3x3 time

What would, in you opinion, be the average time a cuber can solve a 3x3?

(Not your average, but all cubers in general)

 

[Ordway Persyn]

well In order to get the answer we must take the global averages of every speed cuber in the world. 20-30 seconds is what I consider Decent.

 

[NeilH]

I think anywhere between 20-40 is normal, but it's obviously very subjective to your own opinion

 

[crafto22]

It may be due to my low-10 global average, but considering my perception of how easy it is to be sub-15, I consider it pretty normal, or at least easily achievable.
