| 9 | 3 months | Hoe Tze Han | Started mid-September 2007 using Toys R Us' beginner LBL method, can't remember the exact date though. It wasn't until end of September before I got my own cube and starting learning Fridrich. Had learnt 21 PLL and 40+ OLL when I did this average 10 of 12. | 20080102 |
| 10 | 100 days | Stefan Huber | I started learning algorithms Thursday, April 19th. Before that I was able to solve the cube for a few weeks, though. The first average was 19.79, the second one 19.45. Both non-RA | 20070728 |
| 11 | 110 days | John Shepard | I started the rubik's cube on March 31 2007 during our spring break because it was becoming popular in our high school, I guess because it was in The Pursuit of Happyness. The video of the times is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYGUYY_6pDc | 20070718 |
| 12 | 120 days | Simon Sörman | Unbelieavable!! Three days before this my single solve record was 22.95 but then I just started to get faster and faster and faster.Suddenly I get a 16.45 single solve time which got me my new average record: 19.43:) | 20080721 |
| 13 | 123 days | Michael Pohl | After one month of learning all the OLL and PLL algorithms and after three months of daily practice of at least one hour i finally reached my first sub 20 average | 20071101 |

| 14 | 136 days | Simon Lim | Average: 19.95 seconds Individual Times: 18.98 20.05 20.87 (16.94) (22.62) 18.23 20.64 20.14 19.20 22.02 19.06 20.28 PLL: 20/21 OLL: 13/57 I was mostly doing 2look OLL. cube4you.com DIY keeps on popping for some reason I can't set a good tension. so I used a different cube. It was pretty decent. | 20080417 |
| 16 | 141 days | Justin Adsuara | Average: 19.47 Fastest Time: 16.85 Slowest Time: 23.20 Standard Deviation: 01.43 | 20070704 |

| 18 | 151 days | Warren Liao | I just got a sub-20 average today, April 29th. I started last year at the end of November and beginning of December. I learned the whole cube myself in the beginning and invented my own way of F2L with my most confortable finger tricks instead of memorizing them (This way is 5 moves more on average than Jessica's F2L). I also invented my own way of doing OLL, but I found out it was way slower than Jesicca's OLL, so I memorized some of the shorter OLLs. Today's average was 19.74. There was a 15.64 but that was considered a little lucky (unintentional extended cross), but that time was thrown out for fastest time anyways. | 20050429 |
| 19 | 160 days | Anthony Benis | I started cubing in Mid November 2006 and achieved my average of 19.98 on April 28 2007, so I would say about 160 days. | 20070430 |

| 23 | 198 days | Anthony Searle | Finally. I've been practicing and practicing ever since I first started and I had a 19.38 average today. I hope I'll be sub 20 consistently within a couple months. My Website | 20080925 |

| 31 | 271 days | Cody Hayes | I know I first learned to solve sometime in June and I have an feeling it was around the 20th, 2007 and I obtained my first sub 20 average (19.93) on March 18th, 2008. | 20080405 |
| 32 | 313 days | Craig Bouchard | I first got a cube on June 2nd, 2005, got the sub-20 average on April 11, 2006. I didn't get serious into the cube until about 60 days after I got it, so those shouldn't count :p | 20060411 |
| 33 | 345 days | Karthik Puthraya | Solved the cube for the first time on 03 March 2007. Average: 19.21 secs. Got this after being in the 20-22 range for over 2 months. My Website | 20080213 |
| 34 | 350 days | Thomas Templier | If I well remember I started cubing between 27 and 30 august 2002. And I got my first sub-20 average yesterday on 12 august 2003 17 18 21 18 18 18 21 17 16 22 19 23 => 18.9 + 0.5 | 20030812 |
| 35 | 357 days | David Woner | solved my first cube sept 8th 2007 got my first sub-20 avg at like 12:30 am on aug 31st 2008. it was 19.99 i was so nervous before the last solve and flipping out afterwards. pretty good since i spent about 3-4 months doing almost no 3x3. i got a 18.95 avg 2 days after this and i still do not know full PLL. my f2l is between 10 and 12 seconds. we'll see where this goes. | 20080903 |
| 36 | 364 days | Ravi Fernando | August 3, 2004 to August 2, 2005. I just had to beat a year. My first unofficial rules sub-20 avg was on July 19. My site. [Team Epsilon] | 20040802 |
| 37 | 1 year 5 days | Wuqiong Fan | I finally did it! It's about one year and a week or so. I first solved my cube during the 2nd week of CTY last summer. After a few days I was solving for speed. I remember getting happy for 2min solves. 18.17 19.69 19.97 22.47 20.38 (17.97) 19.66 19.03 18.06 21.05 20.94 (25.64) = 19.94 This was done fast and choppy. After taking a break I decided to solve casually. To my surprise the first solve was sub-20! So I did just 5 solves and they were all sub-20: 19.59 19.55 18.89 (17.94) (19.77) = 19.34 | 20080712 |
| 38 | 455 days | Michael Swan | Yay! 19.90 second average. | 20071219 |
| 39 | 478 days | Nathaniel Day | Not too bad! about 200 days for sub-30 which leaves 250 more for sub-20. | 20050722 |
| 40 | 480 days | Anton Rostovikov | I am from Russia. I started cubing in the beginning of february 2007. I don't remember the date so let it be the 1 of february 2007. And I reached sub-20 average on the 26 of May 2008. Here are my results: Average: 19.61 Individual Times: 19.00 18.45 21.67 19.72 19.19 17.61 22.09 (16.48) 19.97 (23.58) 17.06 21.30 | 20080723 |
| 41 | 575 days | Emile Compion | This is only an estimate. I first solved the cube in January 2006. I'm very happy about finally getting a sub-20 average. I use the Fridrich method with a 3-look LL. I'd like to thank Mitchell Stern Rhodri Mativo and Scott Leslie for encouraging me to break this cubing barrier and Dan Harris and Leyan Lo for having great websites with even greater algorithms. Am I fast yet? ;) 18.16 19.33 20.30 (23.48) 17.91 20.47 22.72 19.94 19.24 21.98 18.27 (17.86) = 19.83 avg | 20070901 |
| 42 | 730 days | Tristan Wright | 19.98 barely sub-20 Can't totally be sure about the exact day that I first solved the cube, just i know it was mid-july 2005. Feels so good to be sub-20 at last!!! My website. | 20070715 |
| 43 | 4 years 9 months 20 days | Chris Hardwick | I don't remember the exact date that I first decided to seriously learn to solve the cube, but I consider it to be around mid-June of 1998. In that case my time should really be 4 years 9 months 20 days +/- 10 days. | 199806 |
