i recently learned to solve a rubiks cube. it takes me about 3 minutes from any starting point. anyone going to rubiks world championship in ontario this year? some of those "speed cubists" can solve that thing in 22 seconds on average. |
||||||||

|

There is a secret... kinda. More like a method |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
my dumbass cousin convinced me he could this thing in like fifteen minutes or less... i go off to the bathroom and return to find him scrambing to put all the stickers back on... that little shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

Did you know he didn't think about patenting it and lost a load of ca$h? To be honest I had more interesting things to use my hands for as a kid. |

I could do it in 1m 30 secs when I was a youngster. When I was in 1st year at school 4th and 5th year neds used to come up to me, thrust their cube into my hand and say "do this in under two minutes or you're getting it!" I sometimes still pick it up now and do it. I'm probably about 2 minutes now. But maybe with some neds threatening me I might reach my old time. |

The real daddy was the four by four rubik's cube. Now, that was difficult. Also you had the rubik's snake and the rubik's pyramid. Not to forget the rubik's barrel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the time in which i can solve it depends on how well the stickers are attached |
||||||||
|
|

|
rubiks snake.. haha they were stoopid funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a little try ? :) http://www.rubiks.com/cube_online.html |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... and how many times they can be re-attached. I once had a complete black cube. Try to beat that! :-) |

does anybody like to play minesweeper? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yo! i am an expert minesweeper! even if i do say so myself...fancy a challenge? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm terrible at those |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I never removed the stickers. The pieces came off with enough force. As time went by they came off easier and easier. Man, I was fast at assembling it. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also got a rubiks ball. its just like the cube only harder to hold. |
||||||||

he did actually get a patent on it eventually but the interesting thing is that 2 other people simultaneously invented similar cubes. One guy in japan invented a cube held together by magnets. and another guy in the U.S. was trying to get a cube patented when rubik came along. Its like that "mass conciousness" theory discussed in the movie Waking Life where people get the same ideas at the same time because we are all kinda exposed to the same information and technology. there is a bunch of interesting rubik facts at that puzzlesolver.com site if you want to become a rubik geek |

I have tried it without any manual and only needed to flip a few cubes on the top to solve the darn thing. It is easy if you learn the macro (I think it is called like that). I have recently got Megaminx (a 12 sided cube with pentagrams) but the stickers started falling off. It took me a while to get a decent glue to glue everything back together. |

woohoooo rubiks cube guy!!! w00t! you da man! |

i've been practicing since i first started this thread and now my best cube time is just under 1min 30sec. i seem to have 'hit the wall' and i can't get any faster. I need to memorize a bunch more sequences i think. I even lubed my cube with olive oil so i could turn it faster. that shaved a bit of time! it is a skill that has virtually no practical application in my real life! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, that's hardcore cubery! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am such a hard core cuber that i wore out the labels on my cube and was forced to buy new labels from the rubiks store online! word! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) i think that's pretty cool though... i could never get more than one side of one of those things... but also, i don't know any of the techniques or anything... |
||||||||
|

|
i have a LOT of down-time at my job! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fact: i've never solved a rubiks cube. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate these things: they are a waste off time; i've spend to many hours trying to solve it, in the end it all comes down to one trick, boring |
||||||||

Chris Rubix's Cube |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh, it comes down to about 30 tricks actually, like pattern recognition / implement appropriate sequence! it's boring but i find it kinda calming like a worry stone or a stress ball or a blow-job or what have you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude, if solving a rubik's cube is like getting a bj maybe i should revisit it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah! totally! ok it's not actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it can't hurt to try. it's not like my time could be better spend getting bjs or anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here is the site i used to get pretty fast! ! |
||||||||
