I first solved the cube when I was 10 years old. I only worked out the first two layers by myself, then I read a book for the last layer. I'm quite sure that I would not have been able to work out the last layer by myself at that age. I'm not saying it isn't possible at that age, just that I don't think I could have done it! So I'm not too bothered by the fact that I didn't work it all out on my own.
This makes me wonderÂ… of the people who did initially work out an entire solution on their own (regardless of how inefficient it might have been), how old were you at the time?
