google it. It's an online head to head racer for cubing! I just got started so I suck at it http://www.ryanheise.com/cube/speed/ go to multiplayer and search for an opponent and say you're there in the chatbox

Streetwalker, it has been tested: the average human reaction time of clicking a mouse as soon as he recognizes even the simplest change in environment, no matter how dramatic, is around 2.5 tenths of a second. So we're not accurate as people at all. Cubing allows uis to look ahead and know when to stop the timer before the cube is solved, and stop it immediately without delay.
I use my DS to time myself. My current record is 28.56 and I use Petrus. Anyone wanna duel on Ryanheise?

What are 48 PEM and florian? I must know!
I can't wait for my Zhanchi. I got on speedsolving.com

The coolness level of this glitch is exceeding 9000 as we observe and ask questions. I can only think that I'd be a little overwhlemed if in his position, knowing practically nothing about what you guys are talking about and just wanting help xD Z address? * Dapianokid wants to know what that is

My advice to beginner speedcubers:
Get a Dayan Zhanchi. That's right, bandwaggon. they may not be THE best for everyone, but they are pretty unbefrickinglievable as far as Rubik's cubes go. If you get super obsessed, explore the other options, like Type A, Shengshou Aurora, etc.
Bestspeedcube.com (I think) is the place I went to for advice, and I almost got a Shengshou Aurora. My Zhanchi is still being shipped to me, but it'll be here soon and I'll do a full breakdown review of it.
I modded my cube with a dangerous, but effective mod. I don't remember where it is, but I might find it. I do happen to get pops extremely often because of it (at least once for every 3 or 4 solves!) but you couldn't tell my STOREBOUGHT modded, sanded, lubed (with bike lube! Works like a charm! Favorite lube: White Lightning, Epic Ride) Rubik's cube with Cubsmith Vinyl stickers.... apart from legit speedcube. I used a mod that enables extraordinary corner cutting at the cost of having loose corners, although I've NEVER had a corner pop on me.
But the cube is almost entirely irrelevant compared to the method and amount of practice you choose!! Speedcubing takes a lot of work. I've put easily 200 hours in over the course of a month just practicing and practicing and practicing. I know ZZ, Roux, Classic Pochmann (That's right; I'm a blindsolver), Petrus, CFOP (a.k.a. Fridrich), Heise, and many variations and partial methods. I want to know them all and choose the best one for me and combine those I think are most efficient. I started OH solving recently, and Petrus seems to be very effective, but Roux is starting to become effective too, as I improve at it.

I haven't used a square-1 yet! I just ordered a Dayan Zhanchi, later I'll be ordering Shengshou's of sizes 2x2x2-5x5x5 and a Shengshou Aurora. I can't find ANY regulation timers!

What method do you guys use?
Also, favorite speedcube?
Wall of text:
I managed to solve 4 on my own before learning how. I learned the guide in 20 mintues and my durrent record with a storebought, Peroleum Jelly (Vaseline) lubricated 3x3x3 Rubik's official brand cube is just under 40 seconds, and it was no luck. I don't count any solve that skipped more than one step for any of the methods I know. My average is around 47 seconds and it is dwindling down by the day, as I have become thoroughly addicted. I'm getting an Aurora speedcube soon. Stickerless isn't competition legal, I don't think, and since I plan on competing when I get my times down to 30 seconds, I don't see the point in buying a cub eI can't use. I hope they don't replace mine in the competitions, though. Stickers or tiles? Stickers.Cubesmith has replacemen stickers that will outlast your plastic if you apply them right. Oh, and NEVER EVER use Petroleum Jelly like I did, use CFC Silicone spray. I'm planning on buying a large bundle of speedcubes and other sizes like 2x2x2-5x5x5 on Saturday. I'm almost done learning F2L, which is MUCH easier than PLL or OLL. I decided not to "simply apply what I learnt," as someone said earlier. I invented a new method of OLL and PLL that takes me about 5-10 seconds at this speed. Petrus is my fastest method, with Fridrich being second fastest. I'm learning Roux and Heiss at the same time, but they are significantly harder to learn than the others. I also attempted ZZ, but I'm going to only learn 2 at a time. Knowing more methods means you can intuitively solve faster and build yoiur own using steps from others. My speedsolving method is currently hybrid Petrus/Fridrich.

I don't mean Fridrich, although it basically is. My term is "basic method" when it's really just simplified Fridrich. It is the method on the Rubik's Cube official website with a few enhancements. Specifically, I solve the cross and corners on the bottom so I don't have to look. I also solve with any color as the top. I learned to solve the cube with a multicross as the finished product and also with a mixed centers as the final product. Now I use the Petrus method (I move quickly in my hobbies) and am using OLL andd PLL algorithms for the last step. I'm also using a hybris Fridrich/Petrus to solve the last layer with Sune and Niklas, but I still can't quite grasp the F2L step of Fridrich with ease. I usually do it on accident because of how ridiculously intuitive it is. I'm learning Heiss, it should make intuitive solving significantly easier.

*waits patiently for a color Rubik's Cube for the 84C and/or Nspire*

I'm learning advanced methods and intuitive manipulation methods where really there is no fundamental goal, other than to switch stuff around so fast that you can easily solve a cube in seconds. My current basic method record is 50 seconds, and my fastest solve period is 37.96. I'm in love with Rubik's Cubes.

Yet, I get a downvote for it. That's okay, I'm secure  But really, this happened on a video game website I administrated and I just ended up banning the dude before the internet police showed up. My Dad knows somebody who lives a pathetic life because he isn't allowed to own any computer or use any computer with better stats than a TI81 because them internets polices showed up.

Why are you accusing people of spamming? They did read. They aren't offending you at all.
However, you're becoming defensive.
Evil twin brother... right.
If you want to crack your Maw and Paw's Wifi Netowrk, go ahead and go to a reputable hacking website. Omnimaga is not the sort of website to help with hacking in this manner, and this is hacking illegally. There is a lot of unethical and immoral activites involved with what you're trying to do, and it's extremely easy to tell that you're already a notorious liar, and aren't the most ethical person in the world. You were shot down once by an admin. I don't have any doubt you're trying to do things you're not supposed to do. Go to a website that accepts that and take advice from them. Good luck getting internet with your computers confiscated.
I don't have the authority (nor does my opinion matter) but I think this topic ought be locked.

Hey, just want to remind you guys not to drift too far off topic here mkay? 
But...bu-bu-bu... My SE has been through some abuse over the years and I haven't had many problems with it. The one thing I had to do was take out some foam fillings from the case because the pressure from them was damaging my LCD somehow. Anyways, what is the best calculator model to run TI-boy SE anyway? Isn't there a prototype calculator that Kerm was talking about...?
