It might look a bit like a regression phase or some kind of 80's revival, but I've been cubing for about 3 months now. I got a Rubik's cube in the 80's at around 6 or 7, and it took me hours just to complete one layer... So since the magic cube has made its come back, therefore I decided to give it another try. My best time is around 1 min and 9 sec (very far from exceptional, but I cube only for a couple of hours a week using the beginner's method).
I even created a visual guide for myself.
