If I had to estimate how many hours I spent with cubing between Christmas 2008 and November 2010, I&#8217;d probably guess about 300 hours. That is roughly half an hour per day &#8211; Most of the time I do it on the way to work and back.<\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;\">Rolling Average of 5: <strong>32.18 Seconds<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My official stats Click here to go to the official World Cube Association Website to view all my current stats.
