Chivo 0 #1 January 14, 2003 I just wanted to say I got my rubik's cube today. I haven't played with one of those in years! It is awesome... now if only I could remember how to solve the last 2 layers.... Anyone else likes this type of puzzles? ~Chivo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlie 0 #2 January 14, 2003 Those are masterpieces. I kind of regret losing mine. Of course those were the days before DZ.comAt first, I thought this was a thread about the skateboard movie starring Christain Slater, with guest appearances of PRO skaters like Tony Hawk. Man I love that movie. My other ride is the relative wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chivo 0 #3 January 14, 2003 I liked the movie. My brother was an avid skateboarder and he loved it. I liked the scene where he's doing freestyle in some old warehouse. ~Chivo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That got me an "A" in Advanced Math (junior year class, pre-calc) by teaching the teacher how to solve it. I graduated to Rubiks Revenge after that. I've been trying to find one of those (4x4 cube) for years, since my last was lost in a move. Rubiks original, my best time years ago, 32 seconds.It's your life, live it!

Push 0 #9 January 14, 2003 Damn I love that puzzle. I figured out how to solve one side of it when I was really small in smth like 7 seconds. But that's really easy. I lost my cube too.

RevJim 0 #10 January 14, 2003 Sides. More specifically, Top, Bottom, and the rest fall into place realllllly quickly. I got my oldest son one for Christmas. He's trying, but I won't teach him. I did show him, over and over, that it can be done. I'm pretty rusty though. Best time since Christmas, 54 seconds.It's your life, live it!

Push 0 #13 January 14, 2003 Did you try layers? Supposedly it's faster. Plus you get a lot of shortcuts at the final stages. I can post a link to the solution if you want.

You should, its a very entertaining toy - addictive if you get the hang of it. There's many websites that show you how to solve it.
