Any speed cubers?

[ahmed6]

I just wanted to knew if anyone here is a speed cuber? Since i haven't found anyone good , most of the people i have found are very slow at solving the cube (3x3 or any other) :bounce , and other then that i want to arrange a competition so that Pakistan can be officially registered in the WCA

I still can't work out one of those :/

Rubix cubes damn you.

 

[TheBrokenMan]

instead of Rubix Cubes lets all make Companion Cubes and keep them safe from hard ^___^ from stuff like turrets, incinerators etc

lol i can only manage 2 faces of a rubix cube

aah seems like no one here is , anyways lets see if any speed cuber here really exists -.-

Well i can solve the whole cube in less than 2 minutes... but thats not fast enough

 

[ahmed6]

21.66sec is my best time , but i am far from the world record which is 6.65sec

^ that is awesome!! which algorithm do u use?

Better question: why would you be farigh enough to spend so much time practicing something that is ultimately, extremely unproductive?

Agreed.........

Gaming is something similar to this....no?

Atleast gaming is more entertaining and can sometimes lead to unforgettable experiences.I suppose that doesn't happen while solving cubes.

Actually, gaming is productive in that it's a creative medium, and inspires creativity in others.

There's a human element to it. Indirectly, it's a way to connect with other human beings through their work of art/expression, and learn. Same with music, movies, tv, radio, and other mediums of creation.

You like watching golf?

And you think solving a cube is just about rotating blocks? No its far more deep than that! I had one....now just don't have time for it.

I guess Cubing can inspire some people to think creatively and come up with new ways to solve the cubes faster.Make new and more complex algorithms and such..........

I had one as well.
It's not useless. But "mastering" it seems unproductive, especially if you are not applying that talent to create something useful.

(This was an assumption on my part for the OP, apologies for that. Maybe the OP does do something productive with the mental skills learned from speedcubing.)

CFOL .

unproductive ? haha i was expecting this reply .Ofc it improves your memory , coordination and reactions . Wasting your whole day on games is productive?Plus i don't even cube an hour a day properly .
