Rubik’s Twist

Beginner Cubist

I recently started playing around with the Rubik’s Cube. I started out with Jasmine Lee’s Beginner’s Guide. Through practise I got times relatively good times ranging form 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes. I now started learning more algorithm, but still need to improve on my finger speed.
