What was your first timed solve??

[Asne2223]

My first timed sole was 1 min and 12 sec.
This was pb for some of my other classmates and that is one of the reasons that in a week i was faster than everyone.
One of my friends kept saying that he will be better than me but he eventually quit with the pathetic excuse "I just don't get the point of solving fast".
Enough about me. Tell me what was yours and if anything like that happened to you?


Edit: Holy sh#t 38 replies????? I usually get around 3!!

Mine I dont even remember...... All I remember is that it was more than 2 mins

Oldest pb I have recorded is a 2:00.74 from 2023, though I know I probably have some 7 -10 minute solves from when I just started.

 

[Isaiah Scott]

Oldest timed solve was 4:07.59

 

[speedsolvetheory]

4:53

 

[Cubinginatree]

I don’t remember completely but I believe a 1:3X

 

[FenTheGoat]

Out of my session with 100,000 3x3 solves, my first time was 13.78

Not my first timed solve ever, but this was like 3 years ago

 

[mdcuber9]

First timed solve of anything was like 48 seconds in 2x2 using a method I made up myself
First timed 3x3 solve was 3 minutes I think

 

[MrCubert]

Lost the exact time but it was about 2:30 I think (I didn't start timing until like a week after I learned to solve it)

 

[Michael Wimberly]

2 minutes 22 seconds in early june of 2025

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

I remember using the IPhone timer and I got like 1:50.xx seconds (yes, I remember some of the times i got from like 4-5 years ago)

Absolutely no clue in the slightest bit ever.

I actually remember a few of these:

2x2: 21 seconds
3x3: around 2 minutes
4x4: 18 minutes •v• I was using a Rubik's brand
7x7: 10 minutes
Clock: 17 seconds
Square-1: 1:21
3BLD: 8:09
4BLD: 15 minutes

Speaking of those types of memories, I remember getting my first sub-30 3x3 solve, and I got so excited and showed my mom as well. It was really adorable

i remember getting a 33 second PB as well but i had no way of tracking it so i had my mom take a photo of the time (it was timed on my watch)

3;16.12 on qqtimer.net

 

[cuberbutnotacuberV2]

there was this timer app on the app store (forgot the name but it looked like a gen3 timer in appearance) that i used a ton before i learned about csTimer. i believe my first timed solve was 2:34.5xx seconds or something around that. (yes, i remember because this time was at a reception thing where everyone was amazed)

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

5:09 cuz I kept spamming sune at the wrong places so OLL took 3 minutes I think

 

[TheCasualCuber]

I think i got 1 min 34 sec

 

[abunickabhi]

My first timed solve was 4 minutes in 2008.

I figured out the 3rd layer by looking up the Rubiks.com written tutorial pdf.

 

[CubingBeLike]

I think mine was something like 2:00 and that was like 2-3 years ago
