Rubik's Cube Anyone?

Hey everyone,

I've recently picked up the Rubik's Cube and I'm having a hard time putting it down. My first solve took me two hours at my aunts on Easter. Now, since then, I've found different algorithms and methods online and with some practice (I'm pretty much addicted) I've gotten my time down under two minutes each time.

My best solve time was a minute 11 seconds yesterday. I want to break a minute. I've memorized a ton of different algos and it really is fun once you learn to solve it.

Anyone else here like solving the cube? What's your best time? I'm pretty far from the 10.36 second World Record, but it's still a fun challene! ​

​

 

been trying but never solved it! a friend always teach me the tricks and all that to make it easier but after i completed the first color..i give up! its very fun tho' just need more patience..

 

Ahh, the good 'ol Rubik's Cube. I've never been able to solve it, usually cause I get pissed off after trying for minutes.

 

You guys ought to check this out

Hope it inspires you all

That's the problem. You aren't trying to complete colors (whole sides). Your first goal is to make a 4x4x4 cube where everything matches up; then make a 6x4x4, then everything falls into place, pretty much.

 

I can`t start with that, I will not be able to put it away, just like DP.

 

Wow, that's just insane.

 

Yeah, there are a lot of good videos on YouTube as well.

If anyone can beat my minute 11 and post a video of themselves doing it (with this page in the background first to prove it's you...) I'll put up a large $5 reward

 

I cry at the sight of mind games and general thinking. That's why I became a webmaster

I didn't do this for speed. I did this for my blog. You can read about my Rubik's cube things in my blog. Check it out.

PM or AIM me some more ideas. I'd like to hear your thoughts about ways to get faster.

 

$5 huh? I'm going to try.....

 

Nice video. I'll try to get a video doing it too.

I finally broke the 1 minute mark!
On Thursday night I got my best time of 57.1 seconds. If you want to test your time, check out this sweet timer application:

It took me several days to solve that thing the first time.
Searching for clues on how to solve it is cheating. wouldn't you rather solve if by yourself. lol.

 

some nice vids there, i cant do them to save my life, probably take me a few hours, some kid in my school can do it in less than a minute

 

I know a friend who can do that in about 30 seconds. Funny thing is, he isn't good at anything else

 

I have three new cubes from Cube4You.com coming and I hope with those new ones it'll help me get under the 40 second barrier

 

that's just nuts. more power to you for trying to do it so fast that the cube is smoking when you are done!!

 

i think you must be into mathematics..

 

The cube is about memorization. The trick is memorization and speed

 

i can get 2 minutes tops, i get the top 2 layers fairly quickly but that last layer takes me a lot of moves so it adds a ton of time
