Who else does it? I can solve the cube in under 30 seconds, but I average around 36 seconds. If anyone else does this, please reply. I want to see how many people are better than me.

I speed solve, but only using basic methods. My best time is 44 sec and my average is about 55.

Which method do you use?
 
My friend used to speed solve but I don't think he ever got much better than a minute. He used to show off by solving his rubiks cube in less time than it took me to make my next move on the chess board.

I've never figured out the speed solving method. By the normal 'layer by layer' method I used to be able to solve one in about two minutes I think.
 
I use the Freidrich method. I've been solving for about 2 years now.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
