1	12.77 seconds	Piotr Michal Padlewski	Yeah!! very good solve first sub 13.Non lc. (0 6) / (3 -3) / (-3 ) / (3 ) / (-3 1) / (6 5) / (-1 4) / (6 2) / (6 3) / (0 3) / (6 5) / (4 2) / (0 2) / (-2 2) / (6 4) / go to my youtube chanel	20090510
2	13.25 seconds	Seamus Sullivan	pretty good	20080703
3	13.53 seconds	Martin Zahradník	Yeees!! I'm very happy. :-) It was really great solve. :-)	20071015
4	14.08 seconds	Cheung Ka Lok	amazing result	20081012
5	14.09 seconds	Grzegorz Prusak	2 twists to cube, 2 moves (1 twist) CO, 4 twists EO, 5 twists CP, 4 twists EP. My nonLC solve definition: minimum 2 twists to cube, any Corners Orientation (bringing corners to correct layer), any Edges Orientation, any Corners Permutation, any Edges Permutation. Is it correct?	20070306
6	14.69 seconds	James Kobel	awesome solve	20090201
7	14.96 seconds	Bernett Orlando	0,2/0,1/6,0/0,3/0,4/6,0/6,5/-5,0/-4,0/6,0/6,0/6,0/2,3/-5,4/6,0/0,5,6,3/-3,0 is the sramble algm for this solve. Is it lucky ?	20070304
8	15.20 seconds	Lars Vandenbergh	This was a simple, quick, uncomplicated and relatively easy one.	20070603
9	15.82 seconds	Andrea Santambrogio	fast solve for me	20090510
10	16.24 seconds	Andrew Nelson	Some might consider it lucky, as I skipped 2 steps, but I worked for every skip. 3-twist cube shape. I planned out my corner orientation to solve edge orientation as well. then I did my corner permutation from an awkward angle to solve edge permutation as well. This comes the day after a VERY lucky 7.40 solve (randomly generated scramble ended up having a 6-twist solution) I'm getting better.	20080320
11	16.28 seconds	Milan Baticz	Non-lucky solve. Still use only 3 algs for EP. Practise, practise, practise...	20090510
12	17.33 seconds	Dennis Strehlau	NIIIIICE:P Easy shape and i knew the alg. for EP:) That helps a lot:) Check out my video of the 18.44 seconds:P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFf9-0l_haU	20081031
13	17.48 seconds	Uriel Gayosso Ruiz	This was extremely fast for me. I just had an easy scramble from the CCT :D, every step was done with only one algorithm :D. Scramble: (0,2) / (0,4) / (6,3) / (6,4) / (6,5) / (0,1) / (5,3) / (6,3) / (0,3) / (6,0) / (6,1) / (0,2) / (6,0) / (0,3) / (4,0) / (2,0) / (0,3) / Try it out. It rocks!! I hope i can get the continental record :D, or at least the national record. The Mexican Competition is getting closser each time!!	20080925
14	17.72 seconds	Michael Fung	Timed with "The ultimate Rubik's cube® timer version 2.1". No parity error. The scramble: 0,2/1,1/6,5/-3,0/0,4/5,0/0,2/4,3/0,2/4,3/-3,0/0,3/6,2/-4,0/0,4/6,0/0,4/-3,0.	20060506
15	18.41 seconds	Jason Baum	I got the scramble from Stefan's blindfolded solve: -2,0/0,-4/0,3/0,1/6,2/6,0/6,3/-3,1/5,5/6,1/-1,2/0,4/6,2/0,1/0,5/0,3/3,0 Cube shape: /6,-3/ Bottom corners: 1,0/3,6/ Bottom edges: -3,-3/0,-3/-1,-4/1,1/0,3/0,3/2,6 PLL: 6,0/-3,0/-2,0/0,3/2,0/3,0/-2,0/0,-3/-4,0 I guess the bottom edges were slightly lucky since I usually do them in two steps (first two edges, final two edges). But doing the first two edges only takes 2-4 twists, so I didn't skip that much. Check out my method here.	20080529
16	18.49 seconds	Evan Ralston	WOW non-lucky. Just finished learning all of the Edge Permutation algorithms and this was my third solve!!	20080626
17	18.74 seconds	Derrick Eide	nice	20081213
18	19.43 seconds	Michal Robaczyk	Nice	20070713
19	22.69 seconds	Joël Heymbeeck	Not lucky. So smooth and so easy :)	20070222
20	23.07 seconds	Michael Gottlieb	No parity, and the EP was an adjacent swap on U and D. I didn't skip any steps though.	20081012
21	23.62 seconds	Stefan Lidström	No steps skipped. EP was cw U in both layers.	20090308
22	23.78 seconds	Ben King	Not much to say about this	20060628
23	23.92 seconds	Trevor Davila	Fast. Cubestation YouTube	20070821
24	27 seconds	Will Klausler	whoa whoa whoa whoa!!once back in cube shape one layer was solved and the other only needed a simple corner and edge pair switch. Super Lucky!!	20090308
25	27.82 seconds	Fumiki Koseki	0,5/0,6/1,3/3,3/-4,0/0,1/6,5/6,2/6,5/0,1/2,1/2,4/0,4/4,4/-2,2/-4,0	20061217
26	28.72 seconds	Syoji Takamatsu	The scramble: -2,2/0,3/-4,1/-4,0/-5,2/-4,3/0,3/0,2/6,1/6,4/0,4/0,2/0,3/6,0/-5,5/6,0/0,3 My site	20061016
27	28.91 seconds	Pedro Santos	-3,6/6,0/3,3/-3,3/-3,4/6,0/6,2/3,3/3,1/0,5/5,2/0,2/-2,2/0,4/4,4/ WOW! This was great. Easy EO, the rest was nice	20080213
28	28.93 seconds	Tim Reynolds	Non-lucky but exceedingly easy. First sub-40 non-lucky time. My next goal is to learn more of EP, then some more shape algs.	20070106
29	32.07 seconds	Nikko Decembrano	woooh.., it's really hard..	20080227
30	33.91 seconds	Emile Compion	I lost interest in Square-1 for a while. I have no idea why, its such a cool puzzle!	20080331
31	34.68 seconds	Olivér Perge	First sub-40. With a lot practise I finally broke 40 mp. Will be faster!	20071021
32	34.74 seconds	Ouyang Yunqi	It's quite an easy case.	20081031
33	35.00 seconds	Sinpei Araki "Suraimu"	easy.but no lucky	20061010
34	36.85 seconds	Yi Ren	make it to a square only takes me 2 seconds	20090214
35	37.51 seconds	François Courtès	Another easy but not lucky solve	20080926
36	37.76 seconds	Lucas Garron	A nearly average solve it just went very quickly. Anyhow, Square-1 (especially blindfolded) is my next focus.	20060822
37	38.47 seconds	Cameron Almasi	YEAH MY BEST YET	20080426
38	38.70 seconds	Noah Hevey	Best solve by a long shot. Still didn't beat Emile. ~xcool [twistypuzzles.com]	20070516
39	39.15 seconds	Doug Li	Might have been a little lucky, I forget. I certainly have had times under this that I know are lucky. I have gotten many times under 65s with parity so this time is not unreasonable to select as my PB.	20070209
40	39.19 seconds	Bartosz Bielecki	I had algorithms which i know already:) I still learn new algorithms, so i think that soon this result would be better!:-D	20070217
41	39.20 seconds	Marc van Beest	Yay! Easy shape. Done in my 1 min 06.64 sec avg.	20061218
42	40.03 seconds	Jack Moseley	I just learned a new method for Square-1, it has helped my times a lot. This is only my second sub minute (first was 45 seconds)!	20070804
43	40.67 seconds	Jak Sones	Need to work harder.	20080714
44	41.71 seconds	Brian Nicole Uy	This is a full solve. Too busy to cube now as in I cube only once a week. Philippine Cubers Association	20080827
45	44.03 seconds	Tatsuya Ookubo	n/a	20060924
46	44.12 seconds	Joël van Noort	Dutch Cube Day 2004.	20041010
47	45.66 seconds	Erik Akkersdijk	Bad method: gather edges for cube shape. Make one correct layer of corners, permute corners of the last layer, orient at least 6 of the edges, orient the last edge and permutate one layer, permutate last layer edges (with pochmann principle).	20070629
48	54.11 seconds	Arthur Adams	Not extremely lucky.	20080207
49	54.32 seconds	J.B. Cañares	hahaha!! its been a few days since i learned how to solve the square-1, and this is my fist fastest time, no skips, just easy cases.	20060904
50	55 seconds	Pierre Besancenot	since 3 weeks of practice.no skips	20070821
51	57.77 seconds	Blake O'Hare	Learn my method I created at my site
52	59.11 seconds	Alan Tan	I haven't really been active in cubing for a while since I got into guitar. but Square-1 has been a major focus for me. I'm getting better though after using a simplified version of Jason Baum's method w/ a PLL variation by Stefan Pochmann.	20080811
53	1 minute	Zebadiah W. Ziegenbein	This was a very fast solve. i had my dad mix it and i started ot solve it and then after a few twist to get the top white and bottom green it was solved!! My normal times a little less than 5 minutes i was very proud of this solve.	20060214
54	1 minute 1 seconds	Austin Reed	My method: Cube, Corners, Edges, PLL of Corners, PLL of Edges,(Parity). I have a wierd square-1 with red on top. It turns Extremely Well! Sub-minute is next goal.	20080311
55	1 minute 2.98 seconds	Bob Burton	I like this puzzle a lot more now that I can solve it. ) Visit my site.	20060523
56	1 minute 6 seconds	Wuqoing Fan	Getting into cube shape was easy and I use the most basic algs for the Jason Baum method. No real skips, but cases happen to be ones I know.	20080925
57	1 minute 9.09 seconds	Yeom Seok Hoon	n/a
58	1 minute 11 seconds	Griffin Kinley	after a week of solving	20050422
59	1 minute 11.27 seconds	Kenneth Gustavsson	I'm only slowly learning this puzzle, my method is almst as poor as I am =) I understand it's possible to fix parity when in star shape (at start, before cube shape) using just one move. but. how do you now wich case it is??? (I don't know).	20061219
60	1 minute 15 seconds	Corey Duford	n/a

63	1 minute 27.18 seconds	Tyler Albright	n/a	20080903
64	1 minute 29 seconds	Mike Tryczak	This time is just the lower extreme of my ten series.
65	1 minute 30.44 seconds	Johan Hillerström	My first time actually timing :)	20070103
66	1 minute 31 seconds	Chris Gilsdorf	Did everything but the parity. I think if I can figure out how to get it into a cube faster then I can drop under 1:30.
67	1 minute 36.14 seconds	Neil Fleck	Woohoo! I beat Chris Hardwick!. 13 years old.	20051015
68	1 minute 36.20 seconds	Parker Gaitley	this was a fast cube shape.i have to get all big wedges on one side then i know how to solve it from there. and also no parity problem. nothing else lucky had 5 algs once i got corners on correct side.	20050430
69	1 minute 14.31 seconds	Roland Kovács	n/a	20080725
70	1 minute 44.50 seconds	Justin Eimers	I've been cutting down my times quite a bit in the last week. Hope to get them under 1 minute soon. Timed with the Official Rubik's Timer version 3.1	20060615
71	1 minute 55 seconds	Ben Bartley	took a while to memorize the different situations but i finally broke 2 minutes!	20070408
72	1 minute 58.31 seconds	Andy Bellenir	This was my time for the Square-1 when I solved the Square-1, Rubik's Cube (3x3x3), and Pyraminx. Total time for all three was 3:18.17.
73	2 minutes 8 seconds	Mason Hoffman	Im just happy that i learned how to solve it in a few days ill work on the time later.	20070601
74	2 minutes 10 seconds	Tobias Daneels	n/a	20060607
75	2 minutes 30 seconds	Jeremy Salter	I'm unique! Just like everyone else!
76	2 minutes 38 seconds	Dylan Frye	Not a very good solve I guess. I only know two algorithms, so I really need to learn some more :)	20080411
77	3 minutes 21.96 seconds	Jacob Rueth	Just picked it back up today! I haven't touched it in almost a year, trying to remember the algs was a toughy :)
78	3 minutes 36 seconds	Collin Perschon	Using my own method, with no help at all. First time timing myself. My time would be nearly halved if I find a way to switch only two edges easily. The way I figured out is what I call a controlled mess up. I mess it up in a way after I run in to the problem so when I solve it again I won't run into it. This is obviously not very efficient.
79	3 minutes 37.25 seconds	Thomas Clement	Still no idea on the cube formation. This one had parity, grrr!	20060529
80	4 minutes 3.58 seconds	Garrett Dickerson	I just got it yesterday, this was my only timed solve. Still working out the parity problem.	20070226
81	4 minutes 18.26 seconds	Ravi Fernando	I got my square-1 today, and this was my first timed solve. More to come in this category.	20071211
