What times make you good?

[uberCuber]

that was seconds, as all of them were...

I meant intermediate was 20-24minutes, right

its funny because > means greater not less

 

[iEnjoyCubing]

Beginner: 50 seconds or higher
Intermediate: 30-50 seconds
Advanced: 20-30 seconds
Expert: 15-20 seconds
OMFGWTFBBQ?: Sub 15

I was comparing to the general public. If you went out and asked some random person this is probably what they would say. Now comparing to other cubers, then the scale gets changed a bit.

 

[Rpotts]

uhh according to the general public 2 minutes is genius fast, why scale it compared to completely uninformed people?

 

[TMOY]

According to the general public:

< infinite = "omg how can you do it so fast ? It's really impossible, you must be a genius !"
infinite = "Yes I used to be able to solve it when I was young, but now I have forgotten how to peel off the stickers..."

 

[Owen]

Anyone above 15s is a noob. Sorry.

 

[michaelfivez]

I think this:

sub 8 -> WR stuff
sub 9 -> Wow your in the top 10
sub 11 -> Decent, your in the top 100
12-14 ->Congartulations you are average
15< Noob

In the noob department:
sub 20: You've put some effort in this thing
20-30: you can imagine people learning all OLL's and PLL's
30-40: You've hold on longer then most people do
sub 1 minute: You've solved this thing more then once but still consider people who learn all OLL's and PLL's crazy
sub 2 minute: wow you can solve this...
2 minutes +: Your probably going to forget how to solve this thing by next month

In sport your also not going to consider someone who has practiced for only 1 year a master

(this is about your average time btw)

Anyone above 15s is a noob. Sorry.

either you're being sarcastic, or you are a noob with a 20.81 s comp single.

 

[Phlippieskezer]

Wow. I'm actually surprised how many people consider sub-20 to be noobish. I consider it to be decent.

Anyway, "beginner" is a category I generally associate with the amount of time cubing, so I'll rather use the word "noob."
Noob: 35+
Intermediate: 20-35
Advanced: 10-20
Expert: Sub-10

Granted, those are only four categories, and I'd break them up into more, as 10-20 or 20-35 are quite some large gaps.

Definitely... I hate it where people averaging 15s start their ranking at their times and announcing that everyone else is a crappy nub. As Rpotts said its more about your solving characteristics and how long you have been cubing for

 

[uberCuber]

Wow. I'm actually surprised how many people consider sub-20 to be noobish.

People are considering WR to be noobish?

 

[Phlippieskezer]

15-20 then.

You know what I mean. >.>

 

[Cubetastic]

well, ive been cubing for less than a month and i can 95% of the time get under 50 seconds so imo im doing good.

 

[Jorghi]

Sub <10:advanced
Sub 10:fast
Sub 12:decent
Sub 15:slow

Thats what I think.

 

[Ltsurge]

Sub <10:advanced
Sub 10:fast
Sub 12:decent
Sub 15:slow

Thats what I think.

Wow... I just said that I hated people like you...
And besides you just called yourself slow

Admitting you have a long way to improve is the first step toward actually improving.

 

[cubernya]

Admitting you have a long way to improve is the first step toward actually improving.

Precisely. I average around 30-32 seconds (depends on the day), but I think I am easily capable of more, and am mad at myself for not finishing learning PLL and starting OLL (I have 1 PLL alg left)

 

[Cheese11]

Beginner: 45sec and up Intermediate: 30-45sec Advanced: 15-30sec Expert: Sub 15

The thing is, you also have to account for the knowledge of the person. Someone could be sub 10 and only know how to solve the cube one way, and only know one set of algorithems.

 

[Andrew Ricci]

OMG LIKE I'M GOING TO MAKE A COMPLETELY BIASED AND USELESS SCALE THAT MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!11!!!11!!!

Sub-30: Lol you suck

Sub 20: Not fast at all, lol

Sub 15: Still slow

Sub 12: You're okay

Sub 11: OMG FASTS (not because I average this or anything)

Sub 10: Faster!

Sub 8: FAZ IS TEH BEST

 

[BC1997]

Noob= 1:00 +
Beginner= 40-1:00
Getting the hang of it= 30-40
Intermediate= 20-30
Advanced= 15-20
Expert=12-15
Classy= 8-12
Feliks= Feliks

 

[Gaétan Guimond]

Fortunately, the cube provides greater than the perfomance of a fast cuber but Feliks=Feliks yessssssss
