Did you ever solve Rubik's Cube?
 

I never even came close. How about you?

I had the first algorithm down, then got frustrated and gave up

some day.. =)

I used to be able to solve it in under 38 seconds, but now I can't remember the last moves. So I end up with a mostly done cube.

solve one side (line up the colors on the side too)
flip over, line up the center squares with the side colors from the solved bottom part
place all the side pieces in the right spots and then you have just the top part not solved.... thats as far as i get


Once in a while I'll end up taking it apart and just finishing it that way. I don't want to break down and read the solution.

I'd get it half done, then take the thing to pieces. Didn't have the patience for it.

yup i smashed it

Yeah... could routinely solve it in around a minute when I was 13 back in the early 80s. Still can solve it today actually but it takes much longer lol.

Hell no! Never came even close...

yep with major help from manual

Never been really fast but I can typically do it in 3 minutes or less. I have done it in half that time though.

Same here...just couldnt seem to grasp it and gave up.....:1orglaugh

ya, my fastest time solving a 3x3 was in just over 2 minutes. I've solved a 4x4 also. It's exactly the same as a 3x3, with the addition of a couple of more algorithms.

in 10 seconds! Just one side though :(

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

nope, never managed to, became to frustrating

couple of times...

never managed it myself. I'll google up the instructions later on to give it a go :)

same here:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I took mine to bits and then rebuilt it solved.

I think for resolving it you need to have mathematics mind.

The Rubik's Cube is like a penis. The more you play with it, the harder it gets. :winkwink:

some amazing tube vids on this

never and very fustrating too

I did once.....and promptly forgot how I did it. I think that I was in 3rd grade maybe?

Yes, and I can do it again in less than 60 seconds. :pimp

I did the same thing. :1orglaugh

I can solve a Rubik's cube but it takes me an hour... nothing like these < 10 seconds for any combination guys:

Solved it around 2 times by pure friggin' chance...

:thumbsup:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

My 7 yr old son got one and brought it to me and said, "Dad, can you show me how to do this, because you know how to do eveyrthig". I was left with 3 choices.....

1. Explain that Daddy doesnt know everything and that its ok because nobody does

2. Pray that after 30+yrs of trying, somehow I'd figured the dam thing out for the firrst time

3. Google "how to solve a Rubik's Cube video tutorial"


Take a wild guess which one I went with ;)

When I was about 10-12 years old, it was a hit in school. I was able to do it back then, don't remember the algorithm anymore, I would need to learn it again. :)

All the time, but after a while you cant get the stickers back on :(

I solved it, after I took it apart. I never had the patience.

I peeled the damn stickers, I admit it.

When I was a kid I got two opposing sides one time.

:thumbsup easy

Got it back in the day, yep. Only the original one though, not the more difficult versions that came out later.

so did i, i hated that thing

I solved 2 sides and that's my limit for sure!

top, centre, sides, then the bottom corners.. been a long while side i did it, and have totally forgotten the sequence of moves.. had way too much time on my hands as a kid of the 80s.

It came with a manual? lol

way to tough for me.
