speedsolving
Racing puzzle completion
Speedsolving is the practice of solving puzzles—especially the Rubik's Cube—as fast as possible.
Competitive speedsolving has developed standardized methods, notation systems, and official timing protocols.
Practitioners memorize algorithms and practice fingertricks to shave seconds off their times: His speedsolving personal best is under ten seconds.
