I was determined to learn how to solve a Rubik’s cube as quickly as I could, so I re-watched Felik’s tutorial a few times, memorized the steps and algorithms it uses, and went for a solve without any help.
I started a stopwatch on my phone and did my best. I had to remind myself of the moves I needed to execute, but I succeeded with a time of three minutes and forty seconds. I was happy, but not satisfied, because I knew that I could do better.
The incessant desire to become faster took over my mind and my free time. I started practicing for hours on end, wherever I was; I was mostly at my desk in my room, but I also practiced at the dinner table, in the bathroom, anywhere.
Due to so much time spent practicing, my solve times were steadily dropping. I went from 17 minutes to consistently around 1 minute in just a week.
From there, progress slowed down, but that didn’t discourage me from continuing.
