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
9.98s 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.
4x4 Rubik's Cube
4x4 Rubik's Cube Symbol
1m 10s 1m 22s Moyu AoSu V7 Single Track I have improved at 4x4 recently by learning a faster method with a step known as 3-2-3 edges as part of the Yau method but, I recommend 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.
3x3 Blind
3x3 Rubik's Cube Blindfolded Symbol
6m 21s 10m 16s GAN 16 Maglev UV An absolute nightmare that I have somehow learnt. I would highly recommend learning it as it is not as daunting as you might think. Although I do usually DNF.
2x2 Rubik's Cube
2x2 Rubik's Cube Symbol
1.76s 6.05s Qiyi M Pro 2x2 I like 2x2 due to its fast pase and I use the Ortega method due to the similarity to CFOP.
Skewb
Skewb Symbol
8.12s 12.48s Gan Skewb Standard I still use the beginner's method, and am planning on learning faster methods if I get a proper Skewb.
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.
7x7 Rubik's Cube
7x7 Rubik's Cube Symbol
11m 49s 12m 38s Qiyi 7x7 M Pro UV Core Magnetic I use the reduction method for 7x7.
Square-1
Square-1 Symbol
44.01s 1m 5s 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.
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.
Corner Turning Octahedron
FTO Symbol
15.95s 24.57s DianSheng CTO I solve it intuitively using Pyraminx L4E for the last few edges.
5x5 Rubik's Cube
5x5 Rubik's Cube Symbol

2x2 OH
2x2 One Handed Symbol
16.71s 21.18s Qiyi M Pro 2x2 Its just a 2x2 solved one handed...
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.

1m 20s 1m 52s Qiyi M Pro 2x2 A first step to learning 3 blind.
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 Blind
Mirror Cube Blindfolded Symbol
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.

3x3 One Handed Symbol
8m 28s 8m 28s GAN 16 Maglev UV I did it again recently with CFOP... A waste of time...

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