First Time Speedcubing

Picking up Rubik’s cube was inspired by reading Andrej Karpathy’s website, just like how I started this blog. He linked a Youtube channel on his website, bringing me to this million views Rubik’s cube-solving video he made a decade ago. And then the first time in my life, I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube. The photos below were taken on 11/2.

And then, about one month later, I finally got familiarized with all the steps in the beginner guide and managed to solve one in 1 min 33 s today. I know it is far from being called speedcubing, but at least I am working on it.

Here is a video of me solving the cube following the beginner algorithm.
