I'm extremely lucky, I just started a new hardcore survival save, started collecting resources, 6 diamonds, two stacks of iron, 30 or so gold, and lots of redstone and lapiz lazuli. I built a nice little base to keep my stuff in, for the first day I was building the small base underground, for the next couple of days I explored caves and I found an abandoned mineshaft, I explored it and almost finished exploring it when I find stone bricks. It turns out it was a stronghold - with the ender portal frame. Pretty quick!
Now I got to keep mining and get enough supplies to defeat the dragon, it would be awesome to defeat the dragon in less then 10 or so Minecraft days :smile.gif:
I'm pretty sure there are three strongholds that are generated in a world and they're generated 500-700 or so blocks from the original spawn, isn't that right?
Just luck. I'm not sure if it's the same still but Strongholds spawn within 1800 or 3800 blocks of the spawn. It's one of those. So if you just look around enough in that area, you'd eventually find one by luck.

yeah I found the End portal pretty quickly too, but I had to use AMIDST to find my stronghold :/ It didn't have any entrance from the surface, I don't know how you're expected to find it!

You throw ender pearls (or eyes of ender, can't remember) , and they will fly in the direction of the nearest stronghold.

One time I found the enderworld portal without using ender eyes. I was exploring a ravine when I found that moss stone. I started looking around and I found it.

Just 500 or so blocks from spawn, 300 blocks or so from my base I set up.
I read on the wiki that it is 600 to 1200 squares

If that isn't lucky, I don't know what is..
