Why I started cubing
Matej Chytrý
As most people, it started with me getting a very bad 3×3, yet i didn’t know how to solve it. I was all about puzzles before, just not about twisty ones.
Couple weeks later I went to a vacation and thought to myself: “Hey, Why not try to solve this rubik’s cube!” I leant how to insert pieces into certain slots, but i didn’t know the method. i tried solving it side by side and after couple of hours of trial and error I got lucky and got 3 sides complete, but I couldn’t do much more. When I came back home I got bored of trial and error and wanted to learn the real method, so I decided to watch how to solve a 3×3 tutorial.
While trying to get a sub-300 (xD) I got a rubik’s brand 2.0 for my birthday. But I couldn’t get much faster then sub-150 with the beginner’s method, so I started learning CFOP. A while into this method I got myself a pyraminx and cubing became only increasingly enjoyable. About 3 months into it, I try to learn a new alg everyday. Now I’ve got A Shengshou Pyraminx, V-cube 4 and a YJ Guanlong (only because I am from Prague in Czech republic, where there is only 1 cubing shop, and the best 3×3 they have is the Guanlong) and my PB is 43.81. I would really like to get more puzzles in the future and perhaps start modding.
