The Importance of Consistent Practice

You want to be good at all your puzzles right? You aim to be in the top 1000 for all the WCA puzzles you compete in. Well that’s a little hard, because it means you have to consistently practice all your events. Now for me, I hadn’t practiced the Megaminx in a while, when a friend asked how fast I was, I had to check for myself. Being an avid Cubemania user I decided to log an average…

The most recent time was the one I did today. The box is for the one before it.

WHOA!! The box is for the average right before that really slow one, the one I did today. I haven’t done Megaminx in 5 months, I did not expect that kind of slow down in time.

I chatted with Norwegian master Morten Arborg once and he told me he does ~300 cubes a day! If this shows you anything it’s that it takes time and energy to maintain speed and good performance.  There are events in this sport that just come down to practice, practice, and more practice.
