314.09 secondsGrzegorz Prusak2 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

515.20 secondsLars VandenberghThis was a simple, quick, uncomplicated and relatively easy one.20070603
616.24 secondsAndrew NelsonSome 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
717.72 secondsMichael FungTimed 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
818.41 secondsJason 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.

2739.15 secondsDoug LiMight 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
2839.19 secondsBartosz BieleckiI had algorithms which i know already:) I still learn new algorithms, so i think that soon this result would be better!:-D20070217

4059.11 secondsAlan TanI 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
411 minuteZebadiah W. ZiegenbeinThis 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
421 minute 1 secondsAustin ReedMy 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
431 minute 1.05 secondsUriel Gayosso RuizIt was about 3 moves of being square and it had algorithms that I know, I didn´t have to adapt them :P. It was such an easy solve, but not lucky.20071201

471 minute 11.27 secondsKenneth GustavssonI'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).

541 minute 31 secondsChris GilsdorfDid 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. 
551 minute 36.14 secondsNeil FleckWoohoo! I beat Chris Hardwick!. 13 years old.20051015
561 minute 36.20 secondsParker Gaitleythis 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

632 minutes 30 secondsJeremy SalterI'm unique! Just like everyone else! 
642 minutes 38 secondsDylan FryeNot a very good solve I guess. I only know two algorithms, so I really need to learn some more :)20080411
653 minutes 21.96 secondsJacob RuethJust picked it back up today! I haven't touched it in almost a year, trying to remember the algs was a toughy :) 
663 minutes 36 secondsCollin PerschonUsing 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. 
673 minutes 37.25 secondsThomas ClementStill no idea on the cube formation. This one had parity, grrr!20060529
684 minutes 3.58 secondsGarrett DickersonI just got it yesterday, this was my only timed solve. Still working out the parity problem.20070226
