THE WEBMASTER

ME...

My name is Christophe Goudey and I discovered the Rubik's Cube in 2000.
With a friend we've done a lot of cubes during several weeks until reaching a 36s average.
I didn't practice in the last years but I hope this site remains interesting mainly concerning the solving method which is presented.
I use the method I present on the site but I worked it out a lot. In fact usually no speedcubist wait so long before changing for a more effective method, but I was never able to decide myself to change (I am allergic to the learning with high dose of algorithms).

COLLECTION

I own 3 classic Rubik's Cube and one commercial Rubik's Cube covered with logos of different companies (central cubes have to be oriented like on cubes which faces are images since the logos of a same face have to be oriented the same way).
I also have a Rubik's Revenge (4x4x4) and a key ring Rubik's Cube (3x3x3).

SITE HISTORY

The first page of this site was written on September 20, 2001. During several weeks I developed the site by small doses.
