RevJim 0 #26 January 15, 2003 Quote 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. EDITED: Brief favourites search yields this I've tried both. I'll stick with my tried and true method. Those that watch me still can't figure out how I do it. I've looked at all the "cheat" books I've run across, and have yet to find one describing the way I solve it. I figured it out myself at the age of 11 or 12, so i guess I'll stick with it!!!It's your life, live it!

RevJim 0 #28 January 15, 2003 On Rubiks Revenge: I still haven't found another one I can buy, but I did manage to at least find a picture of it Here! Those that were frustrated by the original, try that one! I solved it 5 times in 2 years, before it was lost. I never developed a pattern for it, though once the centers are in place, if you are careful, it's just a big original. The problem is that, with Revenge, the centers are moveable, increasing the difficulty by a huge margin!It's your life, live it!

AggieDave 6 #44 January 15, 2003 I had a Cube as a kid. You know how I solved it? I peeled all the colored stickers off and replaced them on the right sides...then again, I was 7 or 8 years old. Ever had one of those Rubics rings, the flat plastic thing that folded with the rings on it? I used to love that, I could do just about all the different designs the instructions said to try to do with out any problem. That was a fun "toy".--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pack40 0 #45 January 15, 2003 Did you know that the father of the cube's inventor named also Erno Rubik is an engineer who is famous in designing gliders and ultra-lights. These are some of the gliders he desinged. R-07a Tücsök R-07b Vöcsök R-08 Pilis, R-11 Cimbora, R-12 Kevély, R-14 Pinty, R-15 Koma, R-16 Lepke, R-17 Móka, R-18 Kánya, R-22 Futár, R-22b Június 18, R-25 Mokány (Esztergom), R-26 Góbé, R-31 Dupla, R-32 The pic is the R-26 Gobe http://www.goldtimer.hu/e_index.html The link is to an foundation which restores oldtimer planes incl. one of Rubik's planes. OFF-TOPIC In 2001 the foundation restored a Lisunov Li-2 (Hotel-Alpha-Lima-India-Xray) the Soviet version of Douglas DC-3. As far as I kow that is the last flying Li-2. AND Sometimes they arrange jumps from it. I am not allowed to jump from it yet. Maybe this year. OVER Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I'm trying to instill in him as well. So far, he's the most polite pre teen you've ever seen. After the next year and a couple of months though.....uh oh. Oh, yea, he wants to jump really bad too, but for now, the next chance I get, he's gonna take a ride with Mullins....It's your life, live it!
