nope, no minecraft cubes here xP

I was wondering if any of you are into cubing/speedcubing. I'm not really good at speed solving cubes but I like to try my best, it's a fun hobby once you get the algorithms down.

My collection:

I really only use the 2 cubes that are on the stand, as the rubiks brand and the 2x2 don't turn really well. The 4x4 has magnets, the 3x3 sadly does not. I was wondering if I could maybe put magnets in myself but I don't know where I could buy them xD

My best time with the 3x3 is 48 seconds, using the beginner method. I have never timed a solve on the 4x4, but it's somewhere under five minutes xD

If any of you is into cubing feel free to share your times along with a picture of your collection :D

 

Oo, happy to hear there are more people into cubing :D

I’m not super experienced, but I hope I can give you one or two useful tips :)

When you can remember the colour orientations and want to get faster solves, I’d personally recommend you to learn the notation and the CFOP method sooner than later, as I find it quite hard to get used to CFOP as I’m so used to the beginner method. CFOP has a lot of algorithms, but don’t let that discourage you as it does to me ‘:) Try to memorise a few algorithms each week, just do it on a tempo that suits you :)


If you get to a point where you want your cube to be a little faster, you could loosen the screws by one or two rotations (or take the whole cube apart to clean the inside). You could also lube the cube. I have no experience with this as I’m saving money at the moment, but I have heard Martian is a pretty good all-round choice.


Hope this helps, the most important thing is enjoying it :)
