Doesn't matter, with just a couple of days practice I'm sure most people could do it in under two minutes. It's just memorisation of algorithms.

Apologies for being somewhat nitty, I just wanted to point out that ten minutes isn't at all impressive. Carry on.

If you solved the cube in under 10 minutes, without knowing the algorithms or having them in hand, and having never tried to solve it before, you would be an absolute super-genius. But otherwise, yeah, competitive cubers do it in like 15-30 seconds.

Why back in school when I thought I was going to be an engineer I helped someone on my floor program their HP calculator, full on understanding reverse Polish notation, while drunk.
