Your best time with Beginner's method?

[number1failure]

What is your best time/average using the Beginner's Method? You know, like that sh*tty method they teach you in "7 steps" in that packet that comes with a Rubik's Cube. My best time was 0.32.24. That solve was EXTREMELY lucky though. My Ao5 with Beginner's is 1.09.96. What's yours?


tl;dr
The "beginner's method" is the one in the packet that comes with a Rubik's Cube. What is your best time/average with that method?

P.S.
Does anybody know the correct name of the "beginner's method", as I called it?

Layer By Layer. There's 2 ways I know of doing this, with 4-Look LL, and with the 4 algorithm LL. I did 1 solve with each.

41.27 with the 4 algorithm LL.

28.03 with 4-Look LL.

I remember someone talking about sub-20 with LBL, I think they used 4-Look LL.

 

[Cubenovice]

how many looks for LL?
4 look OLL PLL or Dan Browns RDRD or whatever it is...

That's not LBL

I used this method for a LOOONNGG time before learning 2 look pll (almost done with F2l also).

Best avg: 24.39

Best single: 19.xy

why not?

Alejandro aguado did a 14 with the 4-algorithm beginners method

He's still solving it Layer by Layer, he's just using a better approach for the LL.

oya I misread the video description sorry

Time to go off-topic: Waterman is technically LBL; L, R, M, instead of D, E, U. If Harris Chan is an old-school bad-ass, then who knows what mr Waterman is:

whats your fastest solve using beginners method?

mine currently is 48 seconds using this method. Probably a dumb question but just wanted to see how bad this method is.

 

[tozies24]

I am pretty sure that people have gotten sub 15 with it. Maybe even lower (I'm sure others are more knowledgable)

 

[Cool Frog]

I have gotten a 12 second solve with a Beginnerish method.

IIRC Erik <insert long last name here> got a sub 15 average with beginners method.

 

[ZamHalen]

Average of 5: 37.31
1:05.76, 34.28, 38.64, 37.12, 36.18
I forgot what I was doing in that first solve.
NOTE: this was just now and this is my fastest.

Quote from forever ago.... anyhow, Would that make roux LBL...
or would it be a O2L method.... (Opposite two layers)

I'm pretty sure Roux is considered corners-first.

So you mean the Dan Brown method?
*tries solve right now*
i got a 45.24 and a 39.54
the 39.54 solve is just a bit above average for me,
mostly because i solve LL with beginners.

PS: i know it's now officially called the 'Dan Brown Method' but i mean the one shown in his video.
Plus in korea, beginner's method is different.

 

[just a cuber]

single: :23 second (complete LL skip with accidental x-cross)
average: 1:00

can't do a more recent average because i can't remember the algorithms
