But you are interested in CURRENT Best Time and Average Time, I see. After a few weeks of practicing my times are: 18 sec, 24 sec, (not bad after some years of 'abstinence' :-)) My method is Jiri's. Beside that, I practice in solving the cube in minimum moves (face moves) for which I use slightly different method for first two layers: 2x2 subcube first, 2x2x3 next, 2x3x3 - two layers and for the last layer I may or may not use some more moves than Jiri's method uses. My average number of moves is about 48 within 2 min restriction.
