[0:10] I've been cubing for almost 6 years. My [0:13] sister came home and one of her friends [0:15] actually knew how to solve the cube and [0:17] then I messed it up. So then she made me [0:19] figure out how to solve it again. [0:22] I've been speed keeping for 4 years now [0:24] going into my fifth. We were coming out [0:26] of the pandemic and really I was just [0:29] kind of bored. There was a like a 2 by [0:31] two Rubik's cube in my like middle [0:33] school science teachers classroom that I [0:35] just picked up and ended up solving by [0:38] pure chance and I said, "Oh, wait. I [0:41] have a 3x3 at home. I should learn how [0:42] to actually do this." And I did and now [0:45] I'm here. [0:50] It's a really great experience of just a [0:53] bunch of cubers coming together and just [0:55] getting to do what they love. And I [0:57] think the best part about this is just [0:58] the community that gets built here where [1:00] it doesn't feel like we're really [1:02] competing. It's called a competition, [1:04] but I'd say that it's more like a [1:08] convention in the sense that no one's [1:10] trying to really beat one another. It's [1:12] really not that hard. I'd say if you [1:14] have 30 minutes, a Rubik's cube, and a [1:17] YouTube video, I'd say you can learn how [1:19] to do it. And if you want to compete, [1:21] you don't have to be fast. We allow [1:24] anyone to compete. And it doesn't matter [1:26] how fast you are. You can be like as [1:29] like you can average like 1 minute, you [1:31] can average like 10 seconds. It doesn't [1:33] matter. Anyone can compete. [1:36] You don't need to be really experienced [1:38] to be part of the community. And [1:40] everyone is welcome. Just go out there [1:43] and give it a try.
