I really like what DavidWoner came up with. I think it should be updated and wiki'd

The World Champion in 2003 would be considered "intermediate" by most today. Fascinating.

 

[avgdi]

Beginner: 40+
Medium: 29 - 39
Intermediate: 20 - 28

This about sums it up.

 

[Tim Major]

Insane: Sub UWR.
Fast: Sub 9
Oh yeah not bad: Sub 12
Good: 0-13
Meh: 13-15

Thanks for template Faz
Good seems like a better ranking than "Oh yeah, not bad" to me

According to David Woner's (click MichaelP's link and then the link there) I'm awesome at 2x2.

If you look at the full WCA rankings list, about halfway down is 27 seconds. So here is mine:

1:00+ - Very Beginner
35-1:00 - Beginner
25-35 - Okay
20-25 - Moderate
16-20 - Fairly Good
14-16 - Advanced
12-14 - Very Fast
10-12 - Super Fast
8.5-10 - INSANE
Sub 8.5 - Fake.

 

[LewisJ]

Noob > 50
Beginner < 50
Beginner-with-progress 5
Medium < 27
Intermediate < 19
Advanced < 14
Expert < 11.5
Insane < 9.5

Eh, doesnt matter anyway. We all have an intuitive feeling of what fast is.

Lol noobs making scales to feel good about themselves

I actually think it's a bit of the opposite. IMO expertise isn't just about speedsolving, it's also about how familiar with your method you are, your understanding of the cube in general and probably many other small things.

Take Mike Hughey (sorry Mike) for example. He seems to average around 21 seconds, but look at how many competitions he's attended, his multi-blind, big-blind, FMC and Sq-1 results. However, Mike would fit in as an 'intermediate' cuber by most of your scales.

I don't think that speed is the only factor in this. I would much much rather have a conversation about cubing with Mike than some 'expert' who has just spent hours drilling the steps of their speedsolving method into their head and hands until they're sub-13, but doesn't know anything else.

with that. I'm advanced - fairly good

 

[Carrot]

Extremely slow: >20
Meh: 17-20
Still slow: 15-17
Intermediate: 12-15
Not so bad, but still not good: 10-12
Fast: 9-10
Very fast: 8.53-9
Faz or fake: <= 8.52

 

[Hypertext Eye]

I don't agree with the label "beginner" for the slowest times. "Beginner" means a person hasn't been doing something for very long. Some people have been cubing for years and are just slow, but some of you would still call them beginners.
Like me. I've been cubing 2-3 years. I'm sub 50. Many people who are actual beginners are much faster than me.

I agree w/ every single time range in here ^

I hate how some people don't start labeling fast until like 10 seconds. You don't have to be one of the best in the world to be considered fast. Considering how long it takes most people to get a sub-20 average. I would consider that pretty fast.

OMG, i'm an expert

[Cubenovice]

If you base your rankings on times the names of the ranks should be related to speed, not "skill".

I am a 45s average cuber but I can solve a cube with LBL, Keyhole, CFOP, ZZ, CF, Petrus, Old Pochmann
Does that make me a slow cuber or a beginner?

I partially agree. Although knowing methods is "skillful", turn speed/recognition/etc are also important. So although you know many methods, maybe you aren't as skilled at turning.
