What's it mean to solve a rubix cube without a guide?

Question

So i recently solved a rubix cube in a little more than 2 hours without any guide. I've never really researched anything about rubix cubes so I'm not sure how good that is. I'm wondering cause I know there's people out there who solve them in under 30 seconds. So is solving it like this good or was it long enough that it means nothing?

Answer 1

Solving a rubix cube in 2 hours is... okay for a start, but still, almost nothing. The guides tell you how to move one cube to a certain place, so you still need a BIT of thinking. xD

Answer 2

So the question is, what is a decent time to solve a rubik's cube, for somebody doing it the first time?

I think just to stick with it for 2 hours is worth something.   I think that length of time is about average, for people that really work at it for that long.  About 90% of people give up long before that.

World records are about 7 seconds.

There are guys who can study a cube for 2 hours (no moves, just turning in around in their hands), then solve it blind-folded in 20 seconds.

Answer 3

I think the first time to solve a Rubik's Cube without a guide, you might just got lucky!

But it is impressive to solve a cube without a guide the first!

I've only one person in my life the solves the cube without a guide for the first time, and you must be the second one!

Anyway, 2 hours to solve a cube without a guide it's really good.

I remember the first time when I touch the cube! It took me about 2 days to figure it out with a guide!

I don't think solving a cube without a guide means anything, but it is good!

Keep up with the work!

This is just my opinion!
