I do agree that some of us just have more of a natural knack than others at certain types of activities. Me personally, I am much better at verbal-type games than spatial ones. (I wish my interests were in the same direction as my abilities!) For me, psychology is the major blocking point. If you find yourself like me, in the below-average category for learning speedcubing, you'll need to have proportionately more perseverence. Probably much more. I just don't seem to have it. After several 50+ second solves in a row, my mind goes berzerk. "Slow as molasses!" "I'm getting worse!" "I can't even beat some 6-year-old kid from Korea!" and that's it, I'm done for the day. At this point, I don't have the mindset of a speedcuber, even if the potential is there. ------------------------ Yahoo!
