Who knows how to solve Rubik's Cube?

[tk0]

Just wondering how many members know their way around a rubik's cube

 

[Timewarp]

I have one and all I can get is one side...

I usually do the blue or mirror side.

 

[dubman]

oh man...don't get me started. Rubik's cubes are easily the most evil of all cubes...

 

[Mr.Teehehe]

Just peel off all of the Rubik Cube stickers and paste them on all the side's same color on each side and bam :laughing:

Ummm... I finished it few times... is that a bad thing?

 

[tk0]

^^ Only if you're afraid of progress

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

Uuuum you sit for freaken hours on end pulling your hair out until you finally figure it out or give up lol

 

[FirstTeamTKLR]

i can solve it every time in under 10 minutes... ive won a bunch of drunk proposition bets on it in college haha

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

congratulations!

 

[Bashiku]

You should try solving the cube for something more interesting next time

 

[limbo123]

i have seen people i know do those cubes in about....
probably a few seconds more or less

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

That's pretty amazing!

 

[Budweiserbob!]

I can. but not quickly. xD

 

[ryan000]

I can solve one but it usually takes me about 3 n half minutes. One of my mates can do it in 52 seconds, he can also solve the 2x2, 4x4 and 5x5 cube, no idea how he does those though...

 

[limbo123]

dang that pretty amasing...considering that he can actually do it...
i hear that there is some sort of patern to them....yup still cant do it....heh

3x3 Rubik Cube world record in 4.95 seconds wow

lol i was going to say that very same thing

The rubiks cube...My oldest and most worthy adversary....Truly it is the Devil's creation.

I can solve it. Generally takes me about three and a half minutes, but sometimes I get lucky and nail it under 3 minutes.

How do I do it?

Systematically, one step at a time. I restore one side first, which I think of as the top. Then I do the skirt around the middle, so that it looks 2/3 complete. Finally, I do the bottom. It's the most time consuming because you have to go to great lengths to manipulate the pieces without destroying what you've already accomplished.

There's a virtual Rubics Cube on line here:

I tried a few times in college but never even came close, lol. (Thanks for the link, Drew; I'll have to try that.)

 

[tickleroar]

I solve them every once in a while, but it takes me about 2 minutes. I have two friends who can solve the Rubix Cube in under 30 seconds, it's insane to see them at work...

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

geez,those people must be pretty intelligent.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Answer: Apparently, these people.

 

[Mercury1]

Wow, Rick: those guys must have had a LOT of time on their hands.

I used to be able to solve the cube. My math teacher taught me. After I solved it in front of him, he let me try his 4x4 cube. When I could solve THAT, he let me keep it for a Christmas present. He said I was his only student ever who was able to solve it.

(Truth be told, now I think the 4x4 is easier to solve than the 3x3... But that's only because I forgot how the 3x3 is done. I can get everything except the last side).
