It definitely takes many more years to do a lot of other things, such as chess, music, athletics, etc. The list is endless. Simply said, the new generation of cubers have reached their level of expertise in a very short period of time—less than 3 years.

There are many more important things that determine how you get on and succeed on the show, such as the way you give your interviews, your interactions between people in the house. I must say though, when I went there fore an interview, they were strictly looking for sub-2 minute blindfold cubers, and cubers inspired by little Japanese boys.
