I don't really see the point with this thread, from a non-cubers point of view (friends to a cuber maybe) they would consider a time sub-1min to be incredibly fast! And from a speedcuber a time like that would be a snail compared to other cubers.

And everyone keeps forgetting this: Cubing is about having fun, to have an unusual hobby that you just do because you like it.

I think that all you need to do to see the point of this thread is to look at the title. It's simply asking for opinions. So, from NC's view, of course we're all geniuses. However, we're not asking the NCs. We're asking cubers.

Well, you're completely missing the point. Look at the title: " 3x3x3: How fast do you consider beginner / intermediate / advanced / expert etc?"

Keyword there. It's just all opinions for the fun of it, and it's not a standardized system. And do you actually think this is going out to NonCubers or something?!

I think you're taking this way too seriously.

2:00+ beginner
sub 12 accomplished

everything in between is personal preference. for all the "slow" speedcubers out there, sup 30 is definately not "slow". there is however, a considerable difference in the knowledge and ability of a sub 10 solver, but it is not slow. dont be discouraged by this thread!

If you use the beginner's method and average a little less than 20 seconds (I assume it's very possible with high tps and good beginner's method lookahead [if there is such a thing]), then are you considered intermediate or advanced based on people's time charts? Maybe it would make more sense if mastery of the cube was based on the understanding of the workings of the cubes, algorithms, commutators, methods, etc. in combination with time measurements.
