Yeah surprisingly a lot of people can't solve the Rubik's cube. I'm curious as to how many here know how to solve a 3x3 basic Rubik's cube no matter how long it takes you.

Yes, eventually and with a lot of trial and error I can solve it..

My friend could solve it with his feet in under 5 minutes at the age of 8. ;_;

Anyone can look up a solution online so it's not a big deal.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that.

I didn't even know 3x3 Rubik's cubes existed xd
I only had a 4x4 and I was very close to solving it once. My father could solve it in 5-10 minutes ._.

But some of the online stuff can't be comprehended by people due to notations. I for one learned how to solve the cube WITHOUT online help.

Like every puzzle in life, just peel off the stickers and rearrange them.

i can. Its pretty easy, you get the one face, and the two rows beneath that face, since the middle tiles can never move. Then it will just be the bottom face and bottom row still jambled, and from there you can do some trial and error until the solution becomes obvious.

Thats how i slove them at least

Nope I sucked at it.

Sure, but it takes me maybe 10 minutes because I just remembered and trained on the most basic algorithms. It's all about pattern matching, and when you remember the algorithms it's easy. I got a 4x4 and a 6x6 as well, same story there, just takes a little longer.

Rubik's cubes are one of those "intellectual accessories" that people need in order to feel smart, like an interest in chess and lots of books. I don't get why anyone cares when you can solve them from any position in a handful of moves if you just read how. That doesn't really take intelligence.

I've never solved one, I had one once but after getting close to solving it I took it apart.

Now I find that an insult to the game. Of course it's your opinion, but I must disagree that taking an interest in chess or playing it for that matter is just to make someone feel smart.

OT: I tried. Many times. Did I succeed? haha....

So far I can solve 1 face, and 2 layers below it. I always get stuck on the last face though.

O...kay. Tbh, I wasn't expecting majority to say "Lol u can just Google dat shit" but this is something I guess.

Currently I can solve the 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 ones. 6x6 and above is a no go. IMO the 4x4 one is the hardest even VS 5x5 because 4x4 cubes don't have a middle piece.

As for times, 2x2 takes about 30 seconds for me, 3x3 50 secs to 1 and a half minute, 4x4 takes me BEYOND 5 minutes and same with 5x5.

But my favorite cube as of the moment is a "Fisher Cube", it's amusing lol and I can solve that in about 2-3 minutes. Below is what a Fisher Cube looks like. You can solve it if you know how to do the basic 3x3 since it's basically the same patterns but what you do for the outermost pieces in a basic 3x3, you just do to the side ones and there's a couple more twists due to the diagonal cutting of the cube.

I've never been able to solve the damn thing. People claim it's easy, yet it once took me hours, and got hopelessly stuck.
