When is someone considered an expert cuber?...

I was wondering when a person is considered an expert cuber, in particular with respect to the 3x3. Notice I did not say "master" cuber, since I don't think it's possible to ever master the 3x3 as there will always be new techniques, algos, methods...and you can always get faster.

Imo, I would say anyone who averages sub 15 would be considered an expert cuber. That seems to be a natural cutoff separating the decently fast from the extremely fast.

any thoughts?

When he knows full ZBLL.
For example, Michal pleskovicz knows half ZBLL. so he is half expert

sub 10

Sub-9 is pretty fast

Sub-9 is pretty fast

I think you can be an expert cuber even if you aren't "sub-10". Expertise is based on knowledge not just skill. Usually that knowledge does eventually transfer into great skill' but it doesn't always. Like I don't think that Faz is an expert cuber, although many would argue against that based on his speed/WR's. I am not saying he is not a knowledgeable cuber in anyway. I just don't consider him an "expert"

It would be cool if we could redo Woner's calculations (while maintaining similar percentages) and rectify the numbers to today's times.

I think that sub-15 is fast for me, and sub-10 is considered "expert". sub 9 I would call " Level 2 expert" and so on.

 

[Iggy]

Sub 10.

Why doesn't Feliks meet your personal definition of "expert" then? Are you saying he's knowledgeable, just not knowledgeable enough? Just curious.

More like world class.

In corporate world, you're an expert if you've already solved the cube... twice.

I get depressed anyway
Also for me sup-8 is slow, oh i so arrogant rye

Also wuts this about only being expert if you know zbll? Thats siwwy. You sorta can tell if someone's an expert I guess. But what's expert, tis just a name really.

Michael Womack is famous in the cubing world.

 

[ottozing]

I'd consider him infamous honestly But yeah, that's not the definition of an expert at all. Like 5BLD said, you can tell when someone is an expert.

There are countless people who are top ten in events but who are not active on the forums and so they are not "famous" by your definition. I'd certainly call anyone with a top 10 an expert.

In my opinion, an expert is someone who can no longer be taught about a certain subject, they can only advance by working thing out themselfs.
