Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the practice of speed solving the Rubik's Cube, focusing on participants' solving times, methods used, and personal experiences with the puzzle. The scope includes personal anecdotes and comparisons of solving techniques.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested, Personal experience

Main Points Raised

  • One participant claims to solve the cube in under 30 seconds, averaging around 36 seconds, and seeks to connect with others who may have better times.
  • Another participant mentions using basic methods with a best time of 44 seconds and an average of about 55 seconds, inquiring about the methods others use.
  • A different participant reflects on a friend's speed solving experience, noting that the friend could not improve beyond a minute and contrasting it with their own slower solving method.
  • One participant states they use the Friedrich method and have been solving for about 2 years.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of speed and methods, indicating no consensus on a single approach or time standard. Multiple competing views on solving techniques and times remain present.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference different methods and personal experiences, but there is no detailed explanation of the methods mentioned or their effectiveness. The discussion lacks specific definitions of speed solving techniques.

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.
