What's the least amount of moves you've ever used to solve a 3x3?

[DA_BOY]

Hello!

I was wondering the least moves you guys have taken to speedsolve a 3x3 cube. The fewest moves I've done was about 50 moves and got a PB time of 9.14 seconds.

 

[VortexCuber]

About 60 moves with a time of 16 seconds, my pb.

I always solve the cube with one single move.

Don't think, just solve.

32 moves on my PB3 single, prob full step

44 on my 10.9 PB and 15 on a hand scramble by some kid(XCross into a LL skip)

 

[AJT17]

Probably a 5.69 I got recently with a pure LL skip so it was only 34 moves.

Not a speedsolve, but I have an 18 officially in fmc. If it’s only speed solves, I have no idea

around low 40 with a pb of 7.9

on a side note, in his video titled "Yes, I am Sameer (26 move 3x3 solve)" or something like that, Sameer got a 26 move (6.00?) 3x3 solve officially while a judge from another station was trying to ask him if he was Sameer.

Edit: I’m stupid it’s hassan

Wrong Squan main lmfao

I have had many LMCF solves in the 24-29 move range.

The lowest speedsolve move count I know of is LukasCubes 19-move Waterman solve (3.99s) but many people doubt the reality of it.

 

[Cuber2s]

A 29 move CFOP solve I think

Solve

There's also this solve

Solve

Both of these times could have been so much better tho

Hi, a Roux solves with 34 moves STM, my PB then (12.09): reconstruction

 

[PapaSmurf]

21 moves in a former PB (from 2019) with both an EOLine skip and a LL skip. Terrible TPS, but cool solve.

What was the time?

 

[precompsubwr]

27 moves in 3.50, but I have a 26 move FMC single

Spoiler: Guy gets a 17 move solution

 

[PapaSmurf]

What was the time?

5.35 seconds, so 3.93 TPS.

Ok 17 moves is crazy. I wonder if it was move optimal? I don't have access to cube explorer to check atm.

EDIT: I have now checked and it is 1 less than optimal in HTM (16) and 2 less than optimal in QTM (18).

Damn, thats like an FMC solve.

Damn, thats like an FMC solve.

At the time (July 2019) it would've been joint 23rd in the world.
