4	7 seconds	Josh Fernandez	solved after f2l.
4	7 seconds	Joshua Satterfield	extremely lucky solve done in New York!!	20060614
6	7.11 seconds	Rowe Hessler	this was an amazing solve..i made he petrus 2x2x2 block and the 2x2x3 and edges were already fixed!!!! i then made the last two pairs with R U R' algorithms.and did a COLL which permuted the edges as well!!!!! very lucky but very fast	20070403
7	7.38 seconds	Ravi Fernando	LL was U R U' L' U R' U' L U on a fast but otherwise non-lucky solve. The next solve was a crazy 8.73 with an easy x-cross and a PLL skip even though I dropped the cube during the F2L. Scrambles: B F' D' U2 F2 D2 B2 L B F2 L R' D' U L' B2 D' F L2 B2 D2 B' U' L2 D' (7.38) and F2 D U B2 U B F' U2 R F2 U' R B' F' U' B L' D' U2 B' F D L B2 D (8.73) cross on top.	20071225
8	7.40 seconds	Shotaro Makisumi	Done on Stackmat. Just a PLL skip.Why did it have to be lucky? =/	20040706
9	7.55 seconds	John Shephard	OLL and PLL skip. My average is about 27 seconds and I was shocked when I got this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrnbW_7m-HA]	20070627
10	7.56 seconds	Kevin Jiang	THIS WAS SOOOOOOO LUCKY! I usually average 19-22 seconds but here, I got easy f2L and OLL. AND A PLL SKIP! It WAS an official scramble.	20080410
11	7.63 seconds	Michel Chabaneix	i had gotten another 7.96 lucky solve, but this one was really lucky too, fast cross, paired one f2l put it in, another accidently former, put it in..then another..and another. easy oll and then A Perm, so basically it was a really lucky f2l cases.. and i got my fastest oll and pll :) I get times 20-30 seconds normally	20080529
12	7.75 seconds	Jean Pons	OLL skip fils !!	20070625
13	7.83 seconds	Ron van Bruchem	Last layer solved after a normal F2L. Did this while competing Ton Dennenbroek. :-)
14	7.87 seconds	Rama Temmink	U B' D' L R B D' B L U2 B' L2 R' F2 D' F D2 R D R' D U L2 R F' Finally a sub 10 time I never had a lucky or an non-lucky sub 10 time! PLL-skip.	20080322
15	7.91 seconds	Jack Moseley	It was only a PLL skip, if I had a U perm it could have been non lucky sub 10.	20071101
16	7.96 seconds	Joël van Noort	I got this 5 minutes after breaking my single solve record. Regular solve, just a PLL skip.My site.	20070823
17	7.97 seconds	Ricky Seaton	2 move cross and really fast f2l, already had 2 paired up and one of those 2 were in the correct location. had r,u, r', u, r, u2, r' for my OLL and t-perm as a PLL My fastest ever. go to youtube and see more of my skill www.youtube.com	20080509
18	8.22 seconds	Piotr Kózka	PLL skip after easy COLL	20080511
19	8.23 seconds	Patrick Lam	Not lucky. Netcube scramble. Triple extended cross if there is such a thing:P After last pair all edges oriented correctly. Ended with Sune and T perm.	20060101
20	8.25 seconds	Levi Reichelt	Rubik's Cube in 8.25 seconds This was fir a cubemania average. It was a LL skip :)	20080608
21	8.30 seconds	Derrick Eide	WOW! it was a LL skip! Crazy! o_0	20080301
22	8.44 seconds	Marc van Beest	B' R L B' D U2 R2 F D' B U' F2 B2 R L F L U B' R2 D L2 D2 F' U2 My first sub 10 ;-) Very smooth solve. Done with my "rammelbak" cube (according to Erik :P)	20071201
23	8.52 seconds	Andrew Kang	Easy cross. One pair was already inserted. the others were easy R U R' kind of moves. Skipped last step. Couldn't have done it without my teachers Daniel Chung and Joy Wang. And of course. my cubing idol Chris Hardwick. U GO CHRIS!	20060516
24	8.56 seconds	Onni Orelma	We has a lunch break in school and me and my friends desises to cube a bit (we carry stackmat and our cubes with us all the time). It was a lucky solve (OLL skipped). My normal average it's something between 16 secs to 18 secs. ^^	20070506
24	8.56 seconds	Isaac Wappes	WOW! Done while watching T.V. Hand scrambled. Easy cross and F2L. Only a PLL skip. Quite a nice solve!	20080409
26	8.76 seconds	Adam Polkowski	amazing solve! F2l like 5s, 3 corners in oll and permutation "U".Dream solve!	20071230
27	8.82 seconds	Alex Bailey	wow, did not expect this to happen. Had a pair already made and f2l flowed great. OLL skip.	20080531
28	9.00 seconds	Alex Seidler	LL skip, video is on youtube. YOU find it, haha	20070913
29	9.04 seconds	Solomon Wang	All I remember was staring at a PLL and maybe also an OLL skip (dont remember) after F2L for a split second before realizing I was a U-turn away from solving the cube.	20060411
30	9.07 seconds	Jason Thong	F U2 B2 D2 U F2 U R2 U' L2 B D2 L' R2 B' F U' B R' F B2 U2 F R L' This was truly insane!! I can start on any color. I got an double x cross, OLL skip, and a 3 corner PLL.

35	9.64 seconds	Gunnar Krig	Just a PLL-skip. This is my first sub-10 solve ever.	20060824
36	9.70 seconds	Daniel Lundwall	My first sub 10. Just an OLL-skip.	20080425
37	9.81 seconds	Wang Tong	ZB F2L is really useful. It's an lucky case. After ZB F2L, OLL and PLL skipped!	20071225
38	9.88 seconds	John Alcover	NO PLL	20071201
39	9.92 seconds	David Pemberton	good solve, with an easy PLL, (U2) I still messed that up due to spazzing.	20070713
40	10 seconds	Dan Harris	Approx 2 secs for the cross, then an amazing F2L (lucky because I had 3 connected pairs, and another easy 4th pair) and finally a COLL algorithm to finsh the entire LL. I was amazed!
41	10.22 seconds	Bertalan Bodor	PLL skip. Why not sub-10?:(	20080224
42	10.48 seconds	Karl Rabaya	by far my personal best. i was speedcubing with my brother and once i stopped the timer, I fell off my chair. 3 move cross and for the PLL everything was in the correct place but 2 corners were mis-oriented. so i did the algorithm for BLD cubing to fix it.	20071227
43	10.64 seconds	Anthony Benis	Cross Color = D (Did mine red front and yellow top.) U2 D' R' B' F U F' U' L' R B U2 D L' B' L' F' D' L U' L' B2 R B2 L' Cross: z' R' F U2 B' l2 z (5) F2L Slot 1: U' R U' R' L U' L' (7) F2L Slot 2: U R U2 R' U2 R U' R' (8) F2L Slot 3: U2 y' R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' (12) F2L Slot 4: y U R' U2 R U2 R' U R (8) 40 moves total, it had a pretty long, but easy, F2L. I managed to find the solve with this scramble like a weeks after I did it! It has a lucky OLL + PLL and I lost like a second because I was just like looking at my cube thinking where the heck are they!	20071012
44	10.70 seconds	Chris Hardwick	PLL skip.	20050410
45	10.75 seconds	Jai Gambhir	Not that bad, F2L flowed pretty well, I had an OLL skip, and the PLL was an A perm, which I had some delay in recognizing, for some reason. I think it had to do with the OLL skip shock. :P	20080206
46	10.84 seconds	Ken Francoise Panganiban	This one is a lucky case solve, skipped PLL but intentional extended cross. I'm currently sub21.	20080206
47	10.87 seconds	Guus Razoux-Schultz	Very lucky case. LL in 1 move	20060912
47	10.87 seconds	Yuto Hosokawa	F' U D B L' U R U R B R U2 F L' B' R F R2 F2 L2 U' D2 B L2 D PLL skip	20080325
49	11 seconds	Matt Walter	Sadly enough the solve was a PLL skip with only a U2 at the end.	20050506
50	11.17 seconds	Martin Zahradník	Very nice. :-) OLL, PLL skip.	20061202
51	11.28 seconds	Timmie Wong	So I had scrambled my cube and left it on a table.when I came back I looked at it and realized it would be really easy to get an XCross, so I used my watch and started the solve.ended up getting a PLL-skip as well. -=DDRKirby(ISQ)=-	20050609
52	11.46 seconds	Edouard Chambon	PLL skip.	20050416
53	11.56 seconds	Michael Fung	Timed with 'The ultimate Rubik's cube® timer version 2.1'. PLL-skip.	20051213
54	11.78 seconds	Ton Dennenbroek	PLL skip did this while training Ron and Rama	20070616
55	12 seconds	Adam Géhin	Skipped one step. This category doesn't mean anything for me.
55	12 seconds	Ray Wang	Skipped 3 F2Ls Easy F2L Skipped OLL Got easy PLL Yep, this definetly counts as lucky.	20071106
57	12.09 seconds	Alex Walker	3 move extended cross with OLL skip. Never going to happen again.	20050705

60	12.41 seconds	Syuhei Omura	PLL skip	20070212
60	12.41 seconds	Roshan Patel	This was a very, very good solve. I had the cross in 7 moves (3 seconds), F2L at 8 seconds, OLL skip, and PLL at 12.41. Very, very good solve.	20070713
62	12.54 seconds	Richard Latorre	complete ll skip, i was kinda shocked coz i normally aerage like 25	20080525
63	12.62 seconds	Erik Johnson	Skipped the last layer. it took me like a second to realize it was done. never gonna happen to me again.	20060721
64	12.64 seconds	Matt Wallisa	U' LL	20060413
65	12.75 seconds	Song Jae-Hyuk	video The cube was totally solved after finishing F2L!!!	20070220
66	12.76 seconds	Heath Litton	If only it wasn't lucky.
67	12.80 seconds	Ou Chen	Done on cubemania.org's timer. PLL skip.	20080529

70	13.03 seconds	John Tamanas	Man I would have gotten a sub 13 solve but it took me like half a second to realize it was a PLL skip. This was in the middle of a really bad average of 12. My website Video	20071227
71	13.13 seconds	Tyler Wilkinson	Normal F2L then entire LL skip.	20070421
72	13.22 seconds	Kåre Krig	Easy cross while keeping an easy first pair. All pairs solved while keeping the next pair in an easy position. Slow oll followed by a pll-skip. Scrambling and timing in competition style.	20060727
73	13.45 seconds	Stefan Pochmann	One F2L pair skipped, OLL was six moves, PLL was U2.	20050125
74	13.53 seconds	Roger Solema	cross in 3 moves and a PLL skip.	20070109
75	13.62 seconds	Tyson Mao	Wow, very similar to Jöel's lucky case. I had an extended cross in 5 moves but I planned for it so I guess it might be legitimate but whatever. It just gives me incentive to go faster. My Website.
76	13.64 seconds	Frank Morris	Lucky stuff: 3 edges in the cross were already placed. When I placed the last edge of the cross, one of the F2L pairs was inserted. The next pair had very easy placement, and when I did that, the next pair was matched with its corner. After the F2L was completed, all that was left to do was the "Z Permutation", which is one of my faster algorithms.
77	13.66 seconds	Olivér Perge	Done after F2L.	20061205
78	13.78 seconds	Bob Burton	This was just a PLL skip. Visit my site.	20070607
79	13.97 seconds	Charles Bouchart	n/a
80	14.23 seconds	Brad Sampson	AWESOME!!! My top unlucky is 19.18, my top average is 25.79, and this came up. Lucky double extended cross was the only lucky part.	20080209
81	14.39 seconds	Arthur Adams	Only .05 seconds faster than my non-lucky best. B2 F2 D2 U2 B L B' R' U' R' D' R' U' F R' B' F' L D B' D2 U2 B F2 R	20080513
82	14.40 seconds	Corwin Shiu	Exetended cross, average f2l, OLL skip, and T-perm Scramble: D2 R' D' F' B2 D' L2 U2 B' F D' R' L U B' U2 B2 L' B D' B2 U R2 L2 U2	20070717
83	14.98 seconds	Otto von Hellens	I saw a really easy x-cross (5 or 6 moves), but it was a double-x-cross after all. Rest was pretty fast, but could have been way better. I had to do a 3-look LL for example (I only know 35/57 OLL). I average around 24sec.	20080531
84	15.00 seconds	Ben Severson	Fast, but still lucky (no PLL). I need to average this fast by this summer.	20080429
85	15.88 seconds	Hadley Sheffield	This probably would have been a little bit faster if I had hit the timer in time but I was so shocked. I used Fridrich and the F2L actually finished the whole cube!	20071227
86	16.12 seconds	Brian Le	PLL skip.	20070818
86	16.12 seconds	Wuqiong Fang	caught it on video! Everything was very normal. Just a PLL skip.	20080608
88	16.39 seconds	Joseph Liao	Got REAL lucky!?!? 1/216 chance, POWNAGE!!!!! btw, awesome job Macky for powning at the competition!!!!!
89	16.63 seconds	Jack Foster	Pll skip, but still a good cube for me. (Lions)	20050531
90	17 seconds	Yuri Pertsovski	n/a	20040214
91	17.53 seconds	Hilmar Magnusson	Was doing usual averages around 26 secs, when i got this solve. Pretty easy f2l pairs, oll skip and an easy J permutation.	20080502
92	17.63 seconds	Alex Kumaki	easy F2L, PLL skip. done during an average of 12 of around 27-29 seconds.	20080506
93	17.91 seconds	Robert Schlicht	My fastest solve ever. Not very impressive.	20071203
94	18.20 seconds	Peter Babcock	The solve had a fairly easy F2L, then a 1 look. It certainly helped the average out.	20051020
95	18.70 seconds	Mikkel Riise Lund	I normally have a best time of around 25 seconds. I was pretty suprised, as I got this one. There wasn't a PLL. But a nice solve anyway. 20 min. later I got a personal record of 22.09 sec.	20061218
96	19 seconds	Jason Hildebrand	I'm only posting this because it is SO weird!! So I wake up after 7 hours sleep with the cube in my hand. (i guess that explains the weird dreams!!) and I proceed to solve it. There was some grouping already but not much to take notice of. This is what I had: 4 move cross R2FL2B', a single edge pair to place U'L'U, a T-orientation L'U'LULF'L'F, and no permutation, not even a U!!! Very lucky indeed. However, I screwed it up by wasting time looking around to make sure I wasn't missing something and I forgot the T-OLL, and ended up with only 19 seconds. It's my first sub-20 EVER so I'm happy, although it could have been sub-10.
97	19.12 seconds	Mika Muranushi	PLL skip	20071125
98	19.26 seconds	Daniel Raloff	Did this while walking Bloomsday (12k) lucky solve, no PLL, but this is my best time ever!!!	20080505
99	19.65 seconds	Toby Mao	A lucky sub 20!
100	19.97 seconds	Tristan Peñarroyo	very very luck considering my average is only sub 34	20080227
101	20.12 seconds	Jonas Jinbäck	This time was taken in the school with a armclock timer.	20060423
102	20.35 seconds	Brion Jhames Andico	Its is my new PB it is a PLL skip im so very happy with my sub32 solves now..	20080430
103	21.13 seconds	Kenneth Gustavsson	Skipped my second last step ("the fish step"). The rest of the solve was normal.	20060414
104	21.19 seconds	Ryan Jew	I used LBL. Easy cross, 2 or 3 midges in place, auto last layer cross and only 2 corners to flip. this was very lucky, but i will not count it as my record.	20080417
105	22.61 seconds	David Shi	Skipped PLL and only 2 F2L :) Must get more of these	20061122
106	23.60 seconds	David Gugl	woooooooow, pll skip	20080224
107	24.18 seconds	Phil Kou	My 8th solve after I came back from Vancouver. B' L' R U2 L' B U2 B2 L' D F2 L2 F2 U' R2 L' B' F D' L' B F2 D2 L2 B' Skipped a F2L	20071226

109	25.53 seconds	Siu King Hai	I'm 8 years old!!!!	20080206
110	28.64 seconds	Ryan Mah	Skipped OLL.
111	31.35 seconds	Douglas Moacanin	Used the Petrus method. I got lucky in a lot of spots. I slowed down because I was a little confused and nervous because I knew it was going to be my fastest time. It was nine seconds faster then my not lucky fastest.	20070219
112	32.87 seconds	Christopher Muller	had a pll skip took a while for me to register lol	20080509
113	37.05 seconds	Timothy Turner	Much better than my non-lucky record of 48.8 was going pretty quick, then made the upper cross with yellow (I start with white) and the cube came up solved	20070712
114	37.56 seconds	Christopher Kolodziejczyk	n/a	20070119
115	38 seconds	Scott Bell	It skipped the OLL and got to do the edge cycle which i am very fast on! Finally a sub-40 solve!!!	20080503
116	43.39 seconds	Paul James	I'm happy with it. I have 3 months to work on an 8th Grade project about the Rubik's Cube, with a goal of achieving sub 30. So I hope to be on here again.	20080206
117	49.65 seconds	John Cloninger	n/a	20071215
118	50.81 seconds	Mats Kollbrink	Square + PLL turn 90 degrees.	20080225
119	51 seconds	Jefferson Moraes Soares	Just lucky.	20060106
120	56 seconds	Sydney Liu	I used the keyhole method and skipped part of the PLL.	20070919
121	57.69 seconds	Tyler Yarnelli	This is my fastest time ever so far. This was a very very lucky solve.Video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbhzQT1xlb8	20070908
122	59 seconds	Clint Regeon	i wasn't even trying almost, and when i was in the middle of solving it, and it was automatically solved.	20070617
