So I recently got my friend into yoyoing, and he got me into cubing. I went to the store and got a Rubik’s 3x3 along with a book that shows a few different ways to solve. I only have one more set of algorithms to memorize before I can solve the whole thing from memory using the “beginner method”. My best time so far was 2:26. Today I ordered these: [http://www.amazon.com/LanLan-4-5cm-Speed-Puzzle-Tiled/dp/B0053YP8SM/ref=sr\_1\_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1349565753&sr=8-3&keywords=tiled+speed+cube](http://www.amazon.com/LanLan-4-5cm-Speed-Puzzle-Tiled/dp/B0053YP8SM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1349565753&sr=8-3&keywords=tiled+speed+cube) [http://www.amazon.com/Lanlan-2x2-Speed-Cube-Black/dp/B003RZ2F08/ref=sr\_1\_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1349565803&sr=1-2&keywords=lanlan+2x2](http://www.amazon.com/Lanlan-2x2-Speed-Cube-Black/dp/B003RZ2F08/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1349565803&sr=1-2&keywords=lanlan+2x2) Did I make a good choice? I only got the “mini” 3x3 because that was the only LanLan with tiles and that was a big selling point for me. It’s only .5cm smaller so I figured it shouldn’t make too much of a difference. The 2x2 was like $0.57 so I decided I’d get one. ---

Great choice, my brother used to be super into cubing. He could solve a 3x3 in 14 seconds. His first cube was a LanLan 2x2. He used it for at least 2 monthes, so it must be good quality. Hope I helped! -Luke ---

I got into cubing a few months ago. I learned the beginner’s method, but once I tried to move on to the F2L method, I just gave up. I should like…get on that again. 😛 ---
