My ex-husband could do it in a very short time (solve the cube, that is....). He was a genius w/o a lick of common sense.

My best was 56 seconds...but that was over 15 years ago

couldn't do it now if i tried.

**mindoza** · 04-21-2005, 10:38 AM

Wow! I have not done one in 20 years about....After hours and hours of working it I figured it out. I could get it done in like 10 minutes.
After the loss of many brain cells who knows...I use to have a rubic cube keychain!

**Scott McD** · 04-21-2005, 10:39 AM

I could never ever do it...

**Manowar** · 04-21-2005, 10:42 AM

i never could complete it

**cfU** · 04-21-2005, 10:45 AM

Me either, unless I removed all the little stickers and put them in the right place.

**Babagirls** · 04-21-2005, 10:51 AM

omg, i havent played with one of those for years

**AdultInsider Cloner** · 04-21-2005, 10:52 AM

Actually, if you just read the directions/hints that some with it, you can solve it in like 45 sec.

**Mr Pheer** · 04-21-2005, 10:53 AM

I beat mine with a hammer.

**Marcus Aurelius** · 04-21-2005, 10:54 AM

however long it takes me to remove all the stickers and put them back on, yes..I can beat one.

**Methodcash Rick** · 04-21-2005, 11:03 AM

The original Rubik's Cube I solved on average of about 5 minutes, Rubik's Revenge was another matter completely...

exactly my style too...though my mom was too cheap to get me a real one so I had one with fruit on it instead of colours

I always thought it was a way to see who did things the hard way and who figured out their own solution and didn't mind breaking the rules.

id kiss your ass if you could do it that fast based off notes etc

**LadyMischief** · 04-21-2005, 11:36 AM

I can do it..takes me about 10 minutes.. My ex husband used to be able to do them in under a minute, his father and he had competitions and timed themselves doing it.

**decrypted** · 04-21-2005, 11:42 AM

when i was 15 i did 2 sides in about 3 hours
but now i cant even put together an ikea cabinet because i dont realize i have to rotate a fucking part so make it fit

**gunfodder** · 04-21-2005, 12:06 PM

if you twist one side 45 degrees and then exert pressure in a tangent of 90 degrees to the axis ... ah forget that, i used to pull a corner off, the rest fell off, then rebuild it ... i was too lazy to remove the stickers !!!!

and no, i never did more than two sides properly, yup im as dumb as a bag o rocks

Same here. I was somewhere under the minute mark around..... 20+ years ago. Now I can only remember how to do the top 2 rows.

**smack** · 04-21-2005, 01:45 PM

i can beat it in ten minutes.

by taking all the stickers off and putting them together on the correct sides. ;]

If you don't want to follow the online cheats there's always disassembling it

**TurboTrucker** · 04-21-2005, 06:21 PM

My brother can do it in under 30 seconds.

**pxxx** · 04-21-2005, 06:23 PM

I almost beat that once.

I think you are the first person in the thread so far to mention a METHOD of solution --

My own engagements with the Rubik's Cube Puzzle favored something I should call the "Cornered-Layer" approach. As the name suggests, it is a combination of the corners-first and layer-by-layer approaches -- where one is simultaneoulsy gathering same colors at the 24 corners (4x6), but also treating as virtual layers the sections of pyramid (from tip down) at each of the 8 "Pyramid Corners". This requires layering down the pyramid as 1, 6, 10, 6, 1 (from tip to opposite tip). The geoemtry of the puzzle is really exceptional, allowing for a number of solution-strategies.

My very best time, 48 seconds.

There is some dispute about the world record, since "official" competitions take the average of 5 solutions as your score. In the "official" category, it's about 21 seconds. In the unofficial category, there are some credible claims for single-solution times as low as 12 seconds.

The world record for blind-folded is 5 minutes, 42 seconds.

Though pop culture has been too distracted to take due note of it, the Rubik's Cube (both as invention and as popular phenomenon) will someday take its place among the most unusual events of the 20th century. We were al kids when it came out, but think what it would take NOW for a PUZZLE to capture the attention of a PLANET for over a year.

blindfolded? wtf? how can you solve something with no distinct features other than color if you cant see them?

A great solver can look at it, know the 30-60moves he needs to make, and make them, with or without looking at it
