How fast can you solve a Rubics Cube?
I want to answer this for Cubes because he is a noob at cubes. Jk, but I really want to explain it. First you do something called [F2L] or (First 2 Layers) which occurs after you solve the cross on the bottom. After you match the cross which is 4 edge pieces correctly oriented, you will take other corners and edges, align them together, and put them in place through various algorithms/intuition. After this is done, you will need to perform [OLL](Orient Last Layer) according to your center piece. Let's say the center piece on your top side is blue. You would need to make the top side all blue for it to be oriented. This can be achieved through more algorithms. Finally, the hardest step because there are countless numbers of cases : PLL, or Permute Last Layer, where you will re-place the incorrectly placed pieces until the cube is solved.

I mainly just listen to the voices in my head.
But regarding how fast I can solve, my average is about 20 seconds.

I just want to point out to you sir, that people may think it's super hard like some rocket science. But i can promise you that if you follow a simple tutorial, on h0w to solve it you can do it in like 30 minutes, I'm not messing with ya... Because I'm also a fan of cubes, and do them when I'm bored. And as imaboos said, that's how i solve mine two, my Avg is like 30 seconds and the fastest is 15 :p If you want pm me and ill give out a super easy step by step tutorial =) Peace <3
