Psychonaut 0 #2 February 19, 2010 Saw that the other day, pretty neat. Back in highschool I wrote a nifty program to help you solve the cube, just start by setting it up on the screen how yours was and then it would just step you through it.. Without that, I can never solve one! I can easily do a side by if I try to do more things just get messed up haStay high pull low Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #3 February 19, 2010 I usually have one or two lying around the house... I also have one sitting on my desk in my office... They're usually solved in my house becaue when I see an unsolved Cube I have an uncontrolable urge to solve it... I learned how to do it when I was a freshman in High School on a night when I was sitting at home bored... I actually modified a cube in college to make it possible for me to do it blindfolded... (without ever seeing the cube I added raised stickers to each side which allowed me to solve it by touch...) Alas... I do admit to being a complete dork...

BillyVance 35 #5 February 19, 2010 That is impressive. When I was in high school, I could solve the rubik's cube in 50 seconds, give or take, and that was using the standard method of one layer at a time. It was pretty much muscle/mental memory at my peak. I've got a different version of the rubik's cube on my book shelf that I won't even bother playing with. It's the sudoku version. Each square is numbered 1 to 9 on all sides. To solve it, all numbers have to be oriented the same for each side. All sides are the same color. Fuck that.

JohnMitchell 16 #6 February 19, 2010 I never learned to do one without the instructions right in front of me. Vskydiver, though, told me when she was a kid she won a contest at the mall solving the Rubik's cube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gearless_chris 1 #8 February 19, 2010 I learned from a book back in elementary school, but don't remember how to do it now, that was a few years ago."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

xtravrtsoul 0 #13 February 19, 2010 My hubby has one he plays with still and my son and his friends play around with it all the time. My hubby just recently got the 4 x 4 rubiks cube.

SansSuit 1 #14 February 20, 2010 I had one back in the day. With the aid of a book I got to be fairly fast at solving it. One day I was complaining to my dad that the cube had gotten tight and it was slowing me down. He got out his trusty can of WD-40 to "lube it up". Instead, the WD-40 melted the cube into a solid block.Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
