I won the championship with time 23.55. When I was at my best, I was able to solve the cube in 17 seconds on average (average from 10 consecutive runs). Even today, after all those years, I can solve the cube in 20 seconds on average. I am using about 150 different algorithms and need 60 moves on average. Just for the record: The 1983 champion of Czechoslovakia, Robert Pergl, won with 17.04. There must be *many* guys out there who can solve the cube consistently below 20 sec :-) Jiri On Thu, 6 Jun 1996, Rob Hochberg wrote: > > I've heard about some pretty fast people who've claimed to > have averages in the low 20's, but I haven't seen them perform. > > My buddy from high school, Scott Evans, now living in Austin, > averages about 25 seconds these days.
