Rubik's Cubes

Can anyone else here solve these things? I learned them in high school and my fastest time is 43 seconds. Our very own Asian (of course) mod Clonetrooper can do them pretty well and his best time was 30 something seconds.

You rock dude! Think I can only get a couple sides.

Is this some new fangled gadget?

You solve them by layers, not sides! like it's possible to get a whole side one color but it's still wrong. It's hard to explain haha.

yes, it's meant to stimulate the mind of older folk who are on the brink of going senile.

When were you born gramps 1920?

It was after your time. It came after your favorite toys, the cap gun and Lincoln logs.

The only time I solved it was when I took it apart and then reassembled it the correct way.

The fastest time I've done one in is 36.4. Seconds.

dang nice. What method do you use? I use the standard still and my normal time is right around 1m.

I tried learning fridrich to cut my time in half but too many algorithms.

 

[KingDarude7]

I like Friedrich. Try Roux sometime it's not as dependent on algorithms. I have a friend who can do it blindfolded, shit pissed me off wish I could do that.

ahh.....that's similar to a joke?

 

[Dogstar]

I used to solve mine by taking it apart and putting it back together in the right order.

Was this a joke to, it never ever gets old...

 

[Urblock]

Does it count if you use a hammer to speed things up?

 

[Iwritecode]

I painted mine all black. Can get it done in 0.0 seconds

I am pretty sure it's trivial once you learn a system for solving them.

People used to think of them as some proxy IQ test, right?

Lolz at that....

There is tons of ways to solve them. Different methods and such. So once you're able to solve it, its still fun. Try to beat your fastest time, learn new methods, make cool patterns.

i used to be able to solve a 3x3 in about 1 min.... never broke 1 min though. then i started getting into the higher order cubes and stopped trying to break the 1 min mark

big fan of 6x6 cubes

 

[Hbkrusso]

got one for Christmas as a kid never even touched it. not my cup of tea

dat echa sketch do...
