Have you memorized all the OLLs and PLLs? If so you should be screaming fast, like sub 40 on average.


I use 2 look OLL actually but I know a few of the other like the Ts squares and lightning bolts. My F2L is only average and I need to relube my cube. =/

irony because the second to last step is to solve it like a 3x3 rofl.

my best on a 4x4 is 4:53 but I only legitimately timed myself once

That's not what I do. I solve it in about 7 minutes and I do top layer, bottom layer, middle edges, finish last 4 faces.

I recently got a 3x3 Rubik's Cube, and was surprised at how much easier it is to solve than it was when I was way younger. After practice, I can solve this thing in about 3 minutes. I have yet to work on a 4x4, but the simple question is, has anyone ever solved a Rubik's Cube?
Are you talking without algorithms? Dang man, good job

I can almost solve it but i never bothered to learn the fish and H algorithms, so i kind of have to get lucky

I can do 3x3's in about a minute, it is actually so easy to learn. I ended up getting 6 or 7 friends absolutely hooked on them. Also, I didn't do an english essay because I was learning Also my 3x3 is horrible compared to some of my friends, it just won't lube right.

4x4's take about 4-5 minutes. I have all the parodies memorized, at least i did over the summer. I kind of took a break though, and I tried one last week and completely blanked on one.

5x5? I can do them, but I don't own one, so I've only done a few. Now those are fun.

In summary, cubing while taking a crap is much funner than reading the paper

I got mine was I was about 9, it was a 4x4 one, I didn't have a clue on any techniques to solve it, I just randomly got one face solved then got stuck. I think I ended up taking the stickers off and sticking them back on to solve it. So I've never solved one properly, I still don't know how/specific techniques, I'll learn one day, probably when I find my cube, have no idea where it is.

Fastest I've ever solved a 3x3x3 was about 1:25. I *have* solved a 4x4x4, a 5x5x5, and a Square 1, but was never motivated to go for speed.

I suck at Rubik's Cubes. I just switch the stickers around.

I used to like cubes and such (still have a few on my desk). Last cube I solved was a 19x19x19 using a program. I basically used the 5x5/4x4 method, but just changed the algorithms a tid bit. I used to be able to solve a 3x3 in under a minute about every other time. I can solve a 5x5 in about 7-10 minutes. A 4x4 takes about 5.

I also have a pyraminx (incredibly easy once you realize that you are only moving around 6 pieces), and 2 Square1s... Have a couple cylindrical 3x3's that are a little tricky because you can't tell if the corners are in the right place or not.

I have solved a few Siamese cubes as well, but do not own any.

I feel so dumb. I've never solved one before. >_>

I suck so much at Rubik's cubes...

The biggest cube I solved was a 9x9x9 in Gabbasoft in an hour and a few minutes. I'm working on solving a 10.

lol i didn't even know there was another method haha. that sounds a lot harder to me. all i have to do is align centers, align edge pairs, 3x3, parity. sooo very easy and parity isn't even necessary all the time

I don't like using that program... I get disoriented easily... so much easier to have a physical cube to play around with (thought i don't think there are any 9x9x9 cubes).

I have a 3x3x3, 4x4x4 (Rubik's Revenge), and 5x5x5 (Professor's Cube), and can solve them both. When I get to the parody problem with the 4x4x4 I just mix it up and start over (there's a 75% chance of getting one of the two parodies, so I only get to solve it 1/4 of the time).

for times, I got the 3x3 down to ~1:15 with a record of :53, the other two i don't remember.
