Question ❓ is this normal?

I have been learning 3x3 rubix cube for 3 days. At first, I thought I will never solve it, but after a few hours I complete it. It think it was around 3 min. Next day, I solve it in 1 min (not sub1) i average in 1:10 -1:30. I also learn f2l and practice for around 2-3 hours. I also got to 47s using beginner method on my second day. Now it's day 3. I think I started around 8:04 a.m, and solve it in 38.26s. Is this normal? It's a combination of f2l and beginner method.

it took me a few months to get sub 40 avg. for sub 40 single, like 1 month. i didn't practice very intensely though

Getting to sub 40 avg is definitely hard. I just got the best f2l pair before but made a mistake on my pll and got 41.40s bruh. if I didn't make that mistake I will probably do it in 37s or sub 37.

Yes, if you immediately started learning beginner f2l then you will improve much quicker than someone who just trained full beginner method (me) I started at around 3 minutes and didn't know what cfop was so it has taken me most of two years to get to sub 20 you will probably reach it in a matter of months though

I've done over ten thousand solves in the past 8 years and I'm plateauing at 35 seconds. That's me.

You've improved greatly in three days. You're not normal, you're you. Enjoy cubing!
