Anyone do Rubik's Cube?

Heyy! I'm a Korean cubiest. Live in Seoul.

For speedcubing, only 3x3x3 I do. I use Fridrich Method.
Personal Best Single / Avg of 5 / Avg of 12 is 9.39 / 13.16 / 14.00. General average is about 15 sec now.
But mostly, I enjoy other special shaped cubes.

Solutions that totally I made(means the acutual img files made, I can solve almost all the cubes produced ):
Crazy 3x3 plus 8 Planets
Burmuda 8 planets: Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
3-Layer Grimace
3x3x4 / 4x4x5
Latch Cube
Master Skewb
Mosaic Cube
Super 3x3x3
Skewb Rhombic Dodecahedron / Skewb Ultimate
Cheeze Cube
Crazy 2x3x3 Cube
Professor Pyraminx
Pyraminx Crystal
Helicopter Dodecahedron
Helicopter Cube (Jumbled and Unjumbled)

I also "made" some cube.
Babyface 3x3x3 (I made, but it's my friends idea)
Troll Cube
I'm currently working on other cube, 3D-printing: detailed information is secret.

All my respect for puzzle designer Oskar van Deventer.

No idea as to method, but I can probably do a rubik's cube in less than 100 seconds (yeah, not really fast). I own a 4x4x4, but still haven't memorized who to complete it.

I used to do cubing, not really active anymore tho.

I've been cubing for a couple years now, and enjoy it it thoughourly.
I've memorized the 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 2x2x2,  and still trying to learn the 5x5x5.

my fastest with the 3x3x3 is about 53 seconds, but i average around 89 seconds.
I'm not really sure the method, as i've learn't mostly from friends and my own experimenting.
I have played with some odd shaped ones, but not sure the names of them.

(odd info: i average 18 minutes with my feet on the 3x3x3)

Check this out if you are insane like cubes.

As for me, I have never ever solved a rubik cube. I don't have the patience for it.

Already saw that. lol
There's a program named "Ultimate Magic Cube" somewhere along. It's a various cube simulation program.
Anyone who is interested in should get that.

n00b. i do 14x14 in 2.9 seconds

I DO.BUT I CONSIDER THAT A GAME,NOT THE SPORT

Brainsports, have you heard of it?

Well, I'm not really fast (average around 1 minute) but I've developed a really basic way of doing the Rubik's cube that requires only four algorithms*!

*Assuming you know how to get the first cross, with two of the algorithms being F'RFR' and FRUR'U'F'. If you can do Petrus up to the last layer, then you only need three algorithms (this time without FRUR'U'F'), each of the remaining algorithms being only four turns (with some extra logic).

Actually we can easily prove that we need at least 4 algorithms (not steps.. I don't know the proper English term for this) to solve the rubik's cube: that is,
Permutation of Edges, Permutation of Corners, Orientation of Edges, Orientation of Corners. and this also leads to 4 step solving. Think of the blind solving.

P.S. Fridrich Method is also 4 steps.
