My Rubik's cube times.





What cubes can I solve?

My WCA profile: Matthew's WCA!

I can solve many different types of twisty puzzles and compete to improve and learn better methods so that I can get faster times. The following is my cubing times records, cubes and averages:

Puzzle Personal Best Average Main Cube Other Info
3x3 Rubik's Cube
3x3 Rubik's Cube Symbol
14.38s 18.36s GAN 16 Maglev UV The 3x3 Rubik's Cube is my favourite puzzle, I use CFOP as my method and have spent hours learning the advanced algorithms for full PLL and 2-look OLL, and I am working on learning full OLL.
Pyraminx
Pyraminx Symbol
1.93s 7.60s GAN Pyraminx Standard Pyraminx is one of my favourite events - I have learnt and use the intuitive L4E method.
Rubik's Clock
Rubik's Clock Symbol
12.29s 18.99s Sengso Magnetic Clock I like clock due to how mathematical it is as a puzzle however, I still use the intuitive beginner's method for now.
2x2 Rubik's Cube
2x2 Rubik's Cube Symbol
2.22s 6.98s Qiyi M Pro 2x2 I like 2x2 due to its fast pase and I use the Ortega method due to the similarity to CFOP.
Square-1
Square-1 Symbol
48.37s 1m 13s MGC Square-1 V1 I use the intuitive beginner's method however, I have learnt a few more advanced algorithms to speed up my solve.
Megaminx
Megaminx Symbol
1m 49s 2m 10s Qiyi Qiheng Megaminx I quite like Megaminx but I am not very fast with it as I still use the beginner's method as faster methods require lots of memorisation.
4x4 Rubik's Cube
4x4 Rubik's Cube Symbol
1m 11s 1m 31s Moyu AoSu V7 Single Track I use the beginner's reduction method for 4x4 - I like 4x4 as although it is a time consuming big cube it doesn't take to long, and also the parity algorithms are very simple.
Skewb
Skewb Symbol
10.32 13.18s Gan Skewb Standard I still use the beginner's method, and am planning on learning faster methods if I get a proper Skewb.
Corner Turning Octahedron

8m 9s 8m 23s Moyu Meilong 6x6 V2 I use the reduction method for 6x6.
Face Turning Octahedron
FTO Symbol
2m 26s 2m 36s Dayan Ball Core FTO I solve it (really inefficiently) using a simplified beginner's method. I may learn a faster method eventually.
Mirror Cube
Mirror Cube Symbol
1m 1s 1m 7s I don't know what it is called I solve it like a 3x3 as it is a shape modification of a 3x3.
Mirror Cube Blind

9m 56s 9m 56s I don't know what it is called I solve it like a 3x3 as it is a shape modification of a 3x3, but by touch.
Mirror Skewb Blind
Skewb Symbol
Not recorded yet. Not recorded yet. Diansheng Mirror Skewb I still use the same method as for a regular Skewb as it is a Skewb shape modification. However, I solve it by touch.

Mastermorphix
Fisher Cube Symbol
3m 3s 3m 3s Qiyi Mastermorphix I solve it like a 3x3 as it is a shape modification of a 3x3, (but I use trial and error on the parity).

Some of the times has only been recorded a few times so the times may be slightly inaccurate.
