ok, so the official examination time is about 15 seconds. so you should actually be studying the cube 15 seconds before you start solving. but you have a raw speed of about 1 min 30 right? right.
your friend has 15 seconds to study the cube as well. if he does not start after that, then its his problem. if he solves the cube in 40 secs after looking at the cube for 2 mins, then his real score is actually 2 mins 40 secs minus 15 secs which is 2 mins and 25 secs. you are obviously faster. in a tornament that is. hope i answered your question --- adam_kl1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi, hope this isnt a dumb question, but I am hoping > you can help > settle an argument between a friend and I. > > His method of solving the cube is to study it for ~2 > minutes, and then > solve in about 40 seconds.
