Well, unfortunately, there isn’t much to report this week.  I have been practicing the OLL and PLL algorithms and my time is getting faster.  What I am finding now is that I am overthinking my solves (again).  This used to … Continue reading →

I am diving into the world of the CFOP method!  The most frustrating thing about learning new algorithms is that it always slows down your time at first but I keep reminding myself that this new method will improve my … Continue reading →

This week I focused on learning how to read Cube Notation.  I have a fantastic app called CubeTime which scores my times and shows my average over time.  It also provides random scrambles to solve. Providing a series of scrambles … Continue reading →

When I learned how to solve a speedcube, my son taught me one algorithm at a time and I gave each algorithm a nickname to help me remember it.  Here are the algorithms and nicknames that I use in order to … Continue reading →

Five years ago, I had no idea that there was an entire subculture of competitive speedcubers out there.  My son purchased a Rubik’s Cube brand cube and taught himself to solve it during the summer between Grade 6 and 7.  … Continue reading →
