2023 was my BIGGEST year of cubing by far, no least because I set for myself 10 HUGE goals to accomplish. So how did I do?

Happy new year Tingman! I wish u a great 2024 with loads of completed goals and many great pbs. I’m probably proud of getting myself a new pb the other day. I love your amazing videos. Ngl you are my favourite KZhead that I’ve ever watched. Your content is so entertaining and wholesome, it makes my day whenever you upload. Keep up the great work!!❤😊I would love to meet you sometime next year!
Awesome effort mate. Only discovered your channel in 2023 and the fun, wholesome, positive nature of it restores a little faith in humanity and the internet i guess. All the best for your 2024 goals and thank you for spreading positivity and kindness mate. Ps only learnt how to solve a cube recently so what you and your kids can do is remarkable. Good on you mate.
For 2023 I am very proud of how I went in 3x3. Before 2023, my PR average was 11.19. And at my last competition, I got my 8.54 official PR average (+ a gold medal in 2x2)!
It's unrelated to cubing, but I'm proud of being able to finish my prerequisite course to become an instructor like you! My subject matter is computers. As a person without any background in teaching, this is one of my greatest achievements so far!
Very cool! Enjoy teaching!
Congratulations, Maybie next year you can smash through even more of your goals. I only started cubing in late August and therefore haven't seen a lot of your videos but the ones I have seen were all really fun and helped me stay motivated. Your channel really helped me avhive some of my personal goals, like getting a sub 30 single. Thank you so much, keep doing what you are doing and hopefully 2024 will be just as awsome as this year❤
I can’t believe how much you have grown. You probably haven’t completed all of your goals that you haven’t achieved, but it’s still a big accomplishment for the goals you have, and from almost the last 3 years, it has been very wholesome and enjoying to see your progress and watch your channel. I hope you complete your unfinished goals in 2024.
Congratulations Tingman, we've all come a long way, thank you for continuing to inspire many young and old cubers. Happy new year guys, good luck in the new year.
I decided one day in April 2023 that I would properly learn how to do 3bld. 8 months later, I now hold 5th in Thailand with a sub-1 minute single. This wasn't even on my list of cubing goals for the year, so I'm very proud of what I achieved!
Thank you for inspiring me to cube since 2019, you are the best Youcuber, your personality and videos are wholesome and funny. It’s cool that all comps I go to are ones where you keep having PR’s. Thanks for being a significant part of my cubing life, and life in general.
You inspired me Tingman! I just had my 2nd cubing competition at school few weeks ago... (my 1st comp ever was almost 5 years ago.) I quit cubing for months so I just got back 2 weeks before the competition. The day of the competition, I struggled a lot especially with nervousness, my hands were shaking and couldn't focus well during inspection. I already know full oll and pll, but literally sucked during inspection (esp. cuz my hands are shaking). I was the second place on our grade level (since I'm still a student. My opponent won and honestly, I'm very happy for him. Hopefully in my future competitions I can do better! (Btw, I'm currently sub 20, but I get 12-15 seconds solve sometimes). ❤
In 2023 I went to my first ever competition, which was scarier and more fun than I thought! I got a sub 20 average in 3x3, and I made it to the second round in pyraminx! And I have to thank YOU for that because the videos of you and Olor solving pyraminx inspired me to practice pyraminx and get decent at it!
I started cubing in April 2023, I just learned how to solve a cube and I didnt know anything about speed cubing at the time. One day I took my cube to collage and someone surprised me by solving it fast I asked him how did he do it and that how ive got into speed cubing. about a week later I was watching cubing videos and KZhead recommended one of your videos. I found your channel and kept watching videos because you showed that its never too late to learn, that cubing might be hard but its worth it, and many more. Thank you for showing how fun cubing is and showing that anyone can cube at any age ! ( I also hope we will see more Tingman tutorials in 2024 )
Tingman, I just want you to know that you are the reason that I love cubing so much. I love your channel so much, and I love watching your videos. Congrats on 1 million subs!!! You have made my life happier and made me so grateful for everything that you do. Thank you so so so much. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tingman, Congrats! Love to see you and Olor progress really far!!!!
Awsome, you did great to achieve all of those goals. What I’m particularly proud of is my first sub 20 official ao5.
In 2023, my main goal was to get a sub-10 solve. I knew that I could do it, but towards the end of this year, I was beginning to lose hope. In November, I got a lucky PLL skip that was not only sub 10- but sub 9! It was an 8.79 second solve. I went into my last comp of the year in December assuming my PR single was unbeatable, but then I got a full step 8.56 second solve! It also counted two tens in the average and got me an 11.1 avg, which was PR. In 2024, I know that I can get a sub-10 avg, too (I get them quite often at home) and I am excited to see how next year goes!
Day 23: tingman has to say moyu is better than GAN Edit: Goals for this year: Go to my first comp Get a 16 average Get to second round in skewb Get to second round in 2x2 Get cutoff in 4x4 Get cutoff on OH goals for next year: Get a 15 or 14 average Get a 3 average on 2x2 Get a sub 3 single on 2x2 Win in skewb Get to second round on pyra Learn fmc,6x6 and square 1 Be a NR holder on any event (wont likely happen) Be on finals on nats on any event (Hope i have atleast 5 goals accomplished)
I actually expect so much this year. I know 2021-2023 was not a great time because of pandemics, death and other events. But the end of 2023 Was so special and I am so hopeful for the new year and I know and hope to make this the best year. Thanks for your content and best of luck for everyone else. Happy Cubing 😁
Congratulations!🎉 My 2023 goals were : -learn how to solve 2x2, 4x4, 5x5, and pyraminx. -be sub 30 on my 3x3. I am happy to be able to say that I did it!! Beginners method for all those new cubes, but I didn't think that was possible.👍🏾
I started comps this year, so literally anything would have been an accomplisment lol that being said, I am really happy about two things lately. First is that I was able to get a successful 3BLD single last month. Also, I barely squeezed in my first 4x4 average yesterday (Dec 30th). The 4x4 cutoffs of the comps I went to kept getting lower and lower, so even though I was improving it kept being out of reach 😅
YOU CAN DO THIS TINGMAN, BEAT THOSE GOALS NEXT YEAR AND ADD ANY GOALS YOU WANT, WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
I use beginner's method for both 2x2 and 3x3. In comp this year, I got a 4.41 2x2 single and 16.95 3x3 single (which to this day remains my fastest 3x3 solve ever). Thanks to tingman for making what would have been a very difficult mental battle that lasted the whole year much easier with these awesome videos. here's to 2024 being better (even though i have gcse exams)
16 seconds with beginner method is insane!
16 sec. w/ beginners method!?😯😯😯
Great video and great year Tingman! You were one of the reasons I still compete, and it was fantastic to meet you and see you break your goals in person. Here’s to another great year!
I had 4 main goals this year. 1. Make it to an official competition. Not only did I get to do that, but I made the cut off times on 4x4, and made second round on 3x3 with 2 solves being sub 20 which was another mini goal of mine. 2. Always a 3x3 goal. Goal was to get an avg. of 5 under 20 seconds, and to keep whittling down my single time. 13.08 single, and 17.23 avg feels pretty good. 3. Get a sub 1 minute 4x4 solve. Currently sitting at a 50.42 single, and have gotten a handful of sub min solves. 4. Get a sub 2 minute 5x5 solve. Just barely squeaked that out with a 1:58. All in all, it was a successful year cubing wise. On to 2024!
I actually just got my first sub-10 solve a few days ago and I couldn't believe it as every time I practiced I would get bad timings in hopes of getting good ones. I was always feeling down after seeing my timings but watching your videos always inspired me to keep going, so I have to say that I wouldn't have gotten a sub-10 solve without your help, tingman! Thank you for always making me laugh every video and motivating me in different ways. :D
Wonderful video! Very inspiring to see how you made goals and reflected on all the challenges you set for yourself. Bravo for all you've accomplished this year!
I started cubing 10-23 now my wife and two of my sons cube. We love your videos they are inspiring and always positive. You are a great cuber and an awsome dad Happy New years to you and your family.
You always make us smile❤ 2023 was a very fast year and time went really quickly. Also my grandpa died in July which was really sad. But your videos always make me happy and your videos are my motivation to continue cubing. You were one of the first youtubers that got me into cubing and I LOVE IT❤. Im just really glad that I got into cubing and met this awesome community. Hopefully 2024 is gonna be great year. Happy cubing❤
Sorry to hear that, I’m glad our channel could help you ❤️ all the best for 2024!
on January the 1st I started cubing, and went to a cubing competition in the state, Michigan, USA. (cubing up the UP 2023) I was inspired by you to go to a comp, seeing you guys compete. anyways, I had a goal of being sub-30 on 3x3 and crushed that goal. Now I average low 17's, and my main event is skewb- low 4 seconds. Thank you for inspiring me to compete!
Very proud on pyra and 3x3, progressed greatly in 3x3 and got a gold medal on pyraminx!
my first ever comp was way back in 2020 and i was all set to go to a second comp that year and then covid hit and i couldnt go. this year i was finally on time (waitlist but ok, comps in the netherlands are most of the times full in less than a minute) for my second comp in february and i went to seven more and i improved from 16 sec to 13 seconds, so very happy about that :)
My big thing was that I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube for the time, and it was because of you.I saw one of your videos, and it inspired me to buy one off of daily puzzles and solve it! And now I know learned how to solve 5 other cubes besides the 3x3. So thank you so much!
Not last year but very recently ( a week ago) I solved the cube blindfolded for the first time in about 50mins and I now have a pb of 8min47s witch I intend to improve upon. also less than a week ago I broke my pb OH single and regular 3x3 single with times 18.88 and 9.69 (all unofficially but I am still super happy with them) Thanks for your encouraging videos.
In 2023, I set a goal of getting a solve under 10 seconds. And my first comp was August this year so I was not expecting to do it. But in Davis Fall 2023 my 3rd comp, I got a 9.98 3x3 solve and was so happy about that. Although now I think I can beat it in 2024 for sure. You are content is also very positive and has greatly helped in comps to just think positive and thrive under the pressure.
This year I am proud of getting a 12.67 in my second ever comp (normally I average 19).Great year for you as well and let’s hope the next one will be just as good or even better!
What I've accomplished this year -Sub 20 3x3 single -Sub 15 3x3 single (12.76 pb) -Sub 25 average (still no sub 20 hoping to get it before new year) -Sub 5 2x2 single -Sub 10 Pyraminx single Goals next year -Sub 20 3x3 average -Attend a cubing competition -Sub 5 2x2 average -Learn other WCA puzzles (only 3x3, 2x2, pyraminx, and skewb at the moment) HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR TINGMAN, I WISH YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN THE BEST IN 2024.
I achieved two amazing goals this year: first one was finally becoming a doctor after 6 long years of University; second one is cubing related and it was getting a 14 average at 3x3, which I did at my very last comp of the year (Italian Championships). Thank you for your wholesome videos throughout the year❤️
Congratulations!
Awesome job! This video inspired me a lot and your videos are fun and positive about cubing which I am interested in! Great work with the video and keep it up! Good job with all the achievements you earned
Happy new year Tingman!!! 😀😀
I signed up for my first comp, coming up soon in Jan 2024. Your vids have been so helpful and fun.
Hi Tingman, I started following you and watched almost all of your videos, they are great! Also Tingboy and Olor are awsome too!!! (maybe even more than you? ahah). It's I think 12 days I started cubing and just today I got a 1.44.74 and feel really proud. But I do have a disability on my middle finger on my left hand so I was wondering if you can make a video without using it (or other fingers) and see if you can still have the same times, I'm really curious to know if is not gonna make a big difference in the future for me. Also if one day I would practice more one handed I will must use my right hand and I see why you cubers say it's easier with the left. Happy new year to all your family!!
Hi TINGMAN! I’m a huge fan and love your videos, I could solve a Rubik’s cube before I found your channel but one I started watching your videos I decided to take up speed cubing! Thankyou so much and I’ve got a video idea “how to solve a popped cube” because I have no idea (my 2x2 cube popped) 😢! Thankyou so much for creating this content! (I also buy all my cubes from Daily Puzzles) Edit: I also subbed
in 2023, i attended 16 comps (and also competed at least once every month). my main 3 goals for 2023 were to get 1st place in a final, get on the rankings page (at least top 100 in the US), and keep my PR streak. i won skewb at a comp in march (hopefully you can get a gold soon too!) and snuck into the rankings page with a 0.81 2x2 single at my last comp and second-to-last round of the year :) unfortunately my PR streak died at 22 comps in september but oh well
I love your videos. Keep up the good work
I started cubing in april, and Tingman inspired me to go to my first two comps. Thank you Tingman! Here are my 2024 cubing goals, -Average sub15 on 3x3(im at about 17) -be actually good at big cubes -be sub 20 on sq1(im at 30 average) -Attend 4 compititions -Learn EG0 and the rest of CLL -Learn L4E on Pyraminx -be sub 1:10 on Megaminx(im at about 1:30 average) -be sub 30 for OH -get a sub 7 single for 3x3(PB is 8.75) -get to a final round a few times
With regard to cubing, I'm hoping for a sub-10 average on 3x3 at home. I've had a sub-11 average so I think I'm pretty close! In the rest of my life, my New Year's Resolution will be to stay positive and grow as a person :) Looking forward to more Tingman videos in 2024; every single one is great!
This year I got my first ever sub 10 3x3 single which was something I never thought I could achieve in my whole life. But my real favorite part of the year was making so many friends in the cubing community. Cubing has made my social life so much easier.
Happy new year tingman!❤🎉
Hello Tingman, because of my job I can't set goals for myself, but there are 2 things that I'm proud of: I improved my PR in 3x3 to 16.97 and I managed my first successful 3x3 blindfolded solve, even sub 5 minutes. And this shows that you are also a role model for older people (I'm 52). My other goals are multi-blind and in the distant future 4-blind. I wish you and your family all the best for 2024!
Thanks, proud to count myself as an older cuber too!
I have achieved many great goals in 2023 but the biggest ones are probably getting a sub 8 ao100 on 3x3, getting a sub 7 official 3x3 average, which is NR2 🥳 (that I have uploaded), placing 2nd in 3x3 at the Swedish Championships 2023, starting to post my solves on Instagram and KZhead, finished learning full ZBLL and most of all meeting new and old friends at comps. 🥰 This has been an incredible year for cubing and I am looking forward to what 2024 brings! ❤
Congrats on your goals! Hopefully you can get the rest of those goals in 2024!
Thank you for being an awesome part of my 2023 :) You’re a big inspiration for me!
Happy new year! I wish you the best in cubing and life in general. My proudest achievement in cubing is getting a sub 5 average in pyra which is a huge jump from my previous PR which was a 9 second average. And that sub 5 average places me top 70 in India!
Yay its another Tingman video. The thing I'm proud of is I went to my first cubing competition. Well done on all your successes this year!
Hey Tingman! Love your videos!
While I didn’t have many cubing goals for 2023, I will put my 2024 goals here and see if I can accomplish them! 1. Become sub-20 2. Attend my second ever competition 3. Break my 3 or 4 year standing on 3x3 single of 12.51 seconds 4. Relearn my OLL and PLL algorithms with proper fingertricks 5. Get my times more consistent 6. Learn 3bld 7. Get better at planning cross in inspection I will come back and update this at the end of the year with success rates. I look forward to seeing how all of you do this year! Here’s to 2024!
GREAT JOB TINGMAN, I saw that you were going to the summer 2024 cant wait to meet you. AND START A NEW PR STRAK I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN BEAT IT EVERYTIME, I really need to make one of these and lets see what happens. Again great job tingman C U LATERRRR
tingman is honestly the friendliest and most wholesome channel on youtube
Good job Tingman!
Thank you for inspiring everyone! I love your channel!😃
Did anyone else realise the cube at the bottom of the list is unsolvable 😅😅
Good job Tingman
I love your vids, happy new year ting man. Hope you have a great day
I was proud when I got a gold medal and won the comp this year early December just before my birthday so good
My goal for 2023 was to attend my first WCA event and also to get a 3-bld solve success officially. I was able to go to my first WCA event however all my BLD solves were DNF's but it was quite an experience to see my first ever WCA event.
Great job Tingman! Your goals have inspired me to make my own goals for 2024 like getting a sub 10 single and 3bld success! Also for 2024 I think you should get a 5bld mean.
Happy new year to you tingman family
Start of 2023 feels like 1 month ago! Time flies even for a nine year old like me!
This year I set the WR for fastest 3x3 time in comp with a broken wrist (to the best of my knowledge) so I’m pretty proud of that.
for 2023 i am proud of starting speedcubing. it's actually really fun, but i still haven't went to any competitions yet. another thing i am proud of myself for this year is that i got a sub 10 ao200 in 3x3 which is pretty nice, hopefully i will be able to be sub 10 globally next year
Happy New Year! 🎊🎉
Congrats on achieving 1 million subscribers! You have inspired me so much that I am happy to have solved a rubik's cube. You have made my life easier and better and I am happy with what is happening. Thank you so much.😃
happy new year! Oh yeah, my auto correct keeps changing Tingman to Wingman…
My proudest moment of this year was learning all the big cubes 5 *5 to 7 *7.
ting man i believe that you can hit 2 million by the end of 2024
Great job Tingman. My biggest cubing achievement is going from averaging a minute 30 to 16 seconds! Thank you got making beautiful videos for the whole world
Those blinds are AWESOME!!!! My twin 10yo boys just found your page and have been binge watching. Great content. I got them their first cubes for Christmas this year. I’m super excited for them and it has gotten me cubing as well! Cheers to 2024 and congrats on a great 2023!!
love your videos!
Congratulations Tingman as always inspirational content that keep us cubers pushing to better ourselves and be good people which as a parent make me glad my child as a fan of yours, our goal for 2023 was to do 12 competition which we did 🎉🎉🎉 including the uk championship, goal for next is to start vlogging when u go to competitions and also to start streaming his KZhead (cubing and video games) my person goal is to learn full oll & pll and get sub 20 as a 40 year old
(Yes I know I’m late to this lmao) In 2023, I’m glad I got to go to more competitions and break so many PRs (especially the 3x3 PR average and single which I wanted to break that whole year, and getting the 11.55 single and 14.81 average in 2023 made me really happy. [though now in 2024 I broke those two PRs with a 10.96 single and 13.49 average]). The “1,000 Solves” video you made inspired me to keep competing in comps as well!
Nice follow up to your goals video!! I'm proud of expanding my official event results and getting an official 3BLD success in 2023. :)
Nice, you can do it!
U inspired me to cube tingman!!! Hope uget better at cubing, 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This year i went to my first comp and improved my pyraminx (Main event ) pr by leaps and bounds
I got a last layer skip (it was technically a pll skip but I used winter variation)
🎶traveling 1,000 miles to cube in Korea🎶 still in my head every day
The vid are great❤
This year I had stopped cubing for a long time but I finally came back to it in October and got a new best solve of 10.8 seconds and dropped my average from 19 seconds to 16 seconds
good job tingman for 5 goals!!!
i started cubing mid july this year, so i didnt think of setting any goals lol your video inspired me to set goals for 2024 my 10 goals 1)sub 15 average(i average 20-22) 2)nr10 or better for clock(i average sub 12 in a bad day, and nobody in my country does clock that much, nr is 3.45 and nr50 is 14+ seconds) 3)sub 1:10 for 4x4(i average 1:35) 4)finish learning full oll, coll, winter variation and oh pll(im already almost done with full oll and i know a few oh pll algs since i like RUD algs for 2 handed) 5)sub 40 for sq 1(i learnt sq 1 a week ago and i average 1:10) 6)sub 2min for megaminx(i average 2:30) 7)learn at least 30 cool S slice algs(i mean, both my main u perms are the RUS u perms, and i have one done in 0.6) 8)bring my pb to sub 10(currently 12.77) 9)learn cmll and eolr for roux 10)learn full pll for 4x4(i already know full pll, so 22 more algs) im going to save this video to my playlist so i will come back next year and update(if i remember lol)
Im just proud that i started cubing. I got my cube in early november and in those 2 months i managed to get a 28 seconds single and 35 seconds avarage! I didn't go to any comp but your videos inspired me to go to one in early 2024!
That is amazing 👏 I woul like to go to a comp I've been cubing for 3 years you are so amazing congratulations
Will you do a cubing goals for 2024? I am proud I went to my first competition this year. I really wanted too, but was also really nervous.
i haven't been to a comp, and im not very good at speedcubing, but i got a sub 20 just recently and i was really proud of that. btw i love all your videos! they put a smile on my face every time :)
I got my first blind success this year!!
I actually first started cubing in May, but started to take it seriously in late June, and I achieved a 13.85 second average and a sub-10 single🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 which was a 9.89 FULL STEP!!🥳🥳(which I only got like two weeks ago) But sadly have not been able to compete in an official comp, since I stay in South Africa, the nearest comps are a 5 hour drive, and only happen 4 times a year, i could not go😢. I missed the first two, cause I have not started cubing by the, I missed the 3rd, because I only found out that there are cube comps the weekend the 3rd one happened, and the last one, I could not compete because it is expensive to drive stay and eat far away for three days. But anyways, not sad about it, because now I know that I’ll be better when I get the opportunity to go, and because I got a sub-10 single. Lastly, really love your very WHOLESOME cubing content, which is always a joy to watch. Like every time you post or even on an old video, I always get happy without realising, just because you are happy! I wish you a very happy and blessed 2024🥳🥳🥳 Love and support from a 13 year old male(almost turning 14, in january) from South Africa❤️🥳😎🇿🇦
Wow good work on improving so quickly! I hope you have the chance to compete in 2024. Thanks for your kind words!
Goal for 2024, meet some other Christian cubers and do a small vlog with them!
HI TING MAN I LOVE YOUR STUFF !!!!!
Regarding the 5BLD gold - I just wanna say, from the bottom of my heart, with lots and lots of love, lol.
HAHAHAHA.. this is the best!
I’ll even the scales one day, don’t you worry.
Hai Tingman, can you make tutorial video for mirror pyraminx cube ?
Hey man, don’t worry about not getting certain goals, because it’s all about having a good time. And besides, you got other amazing prs and good times, just not the ones you wanted.
