With more practice and learning the correct algorithms then a sub 15 second solve is achievable.
CFOP stands for (C) = Cross = Cross on bottom layer - (F) = F2L = First 2 Layers = Solve bottom two layer edge and corner pieces at once - (O) = OLL = Orient last layer - (P) = PLL = Permute last layer
Nice job. I used to have the solutions memorized... it helped me get a job offer once because the hiring manager left to get some water and came back less than a minute later with the cube on his desk solved. When you don't know the tricks it can be impressive when someone does that. If you know the tricks it is just a silly time waster. It's a neat thing to learn. Of course some people like to try to figure out the…

I have one of these and it's smooth: http://lubixcube.com/lubix_dayan_guhong_v1.html
Bad Mephisto has already been linked elsewhere - he has some really helpful videos and a cheatsheet to refer to.

The cheap ones are pretty miserable to use. I have one of these and it's smooth: http://lubixcube.com/lubix_dayan_guhong_v1.html Bad Mephisto has already been linked elsewhere - he has some…

It's smooth as butter, and there are no stickers to cheat with.
It may have taken me a year of chipping away at it and my process is definitely suboptimal, but at least I have the satisfaction of having worked it out myself.
Also, play with it! It's an incredibly simple but totally mind bending device.
