| Well I've never tried since forever. Last time when I was a kid, I just took the piece apart and realigned them. There are formulas and stuffs, I just never want to remember them. My friend does thou. He can solve one under 30 seconds, the 3x3, that is. |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |
| Yeah, I smash it to the ground and glue all the colored pieces together. |

yaiba064 said: There are formulas and stuffs This is what I meant in the previous page about notations and all that jazz. That's why I learnt it on my own and didn't Google the method :/ I mean how I solve a Rubik's cube is the layer-by-layer method. 1st layer being you just put random pieces into the correct places and that the top color must be uniform. then that'll net you 1 side and 1/3 of 4 sides of the cube aka a "layer". The 2nd one is easier since you're just solving 4 corner pieces since the middle parts don't move and each corner piece has 2 colors. The last layer there's now patterns that you find like the "fish pattern" or the "4-square pattern" and you do the appropriate twisting of 1/3 backpart A and 1/3 backpart D. Then finally do the 12 moves finish and presto, a solved Rubik's cube. If I'm not lazy I'll take a vid of me and my girl explaining the process. |

| Yea, I've solved a Rubik's cube. It does take time at the beginning, but after awhile you get a hang of it. It also gets boring after awhile too, which is why I no longer play with them. |

| Oh god, Rubik's cubes used to be my hobby and my life back in middle school to early high school years, what a terribly sad life I lived; I learned how to solve one thanks to youtube. With that said, since it was my life back then I strived to become better and within a few years I managed to solve one under 20 seconds every time. I was also able to solve a 4x4 and 5x5, I can solve 4x4's within 1 minute and 20 seconds at most and a 5x5 within 3 minutes. There were also rubik's cube type of puzzles that I used to play with such as a Square-1, Megaminx, Void Cube, and other stuff. I've also entered 2 competitions before... Yup, I lived that sad life, it was a hobby for about 3 years. Like Tigervu said, it does get boring after awhile, no idea how I managed to play with one for so long though. |

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.... That's not what I said. I said people use it to feel smart, I didn't say the only reason to play is to feel smart. Those are two different statements. |
| Who even cares about that pretentious child's toy these days. Can you solve the mobik meat cube? |
 |
| I used to, when I was in high school. But I learned the patterns on the internet rather than figuring it out all on my own. |
| "Can you solve a Rubik's cube?" Yeah!  |
 |
| Well, I'm a speedcuber, or you could say I'm a beginner speedcuber. So yeah, I can solve a Rubik's Cube. My personal best for a single solve is 17 seconds, and my personal best for an average of 5 solves (AO5) is 19 seconds. Usually, my average times range from 22 to 24 seconds. |

| Protip: take a screwdriver and pry the pieces apart and reassemble. You solved the cube.....technically |
| I can solve it in about 10 minutes. Did one on a video game recently. |
| If you do it at random or guessing its very hard, but if you're following algorithms its really simple. |
