I have a Rubix Cube sitting here with me on my desk. I took it to Youth Group, and it was solved 3 times =/.

Can anybody tell me the secret/formula for solving the Rubix Cube?

Have YOU solved a Rubix Cube before?

Oh, watch this AMAZING video.
 
^^^ That's cheating! :p
The other way of cheating is by peeling off the stickers, and rearanging them! :p
LOLZ, for Christmas, there's 1 guy in my youth group who is famous for solving a Rubix Cube, so we're going to give him one with the stickers screwed up, so the formula doesn't work!

Internet guides, you say? I'll try...
 
I have no idea where the magic comes from fixing it, and that record is absolutely awesome. It almost seems impossible, but someone had to get it in that short of time. ;)

I bought to at a party store while I was camping with my cousins and brother, and I couldn't solve either one of them- I have no patience for those type of puzzles. I wanted to keep one exactly perfect as it came, but a friend changed it all which was disappointing. It's cool how people can actually figure it out, and to me it seems like so much work. I don't know how people do it, but I think they are really cool, and a neat and suprisingly sophisticated toy to play around with when you are bored. :)

Also, take a look at this video. The Rubix Cube is deformed! :O
 
Beat it once. It's pretty easy, actually. As long as you have a strategy =D.
 
There are several methods to solving them. I only know the simplest algorithm, which takes me at least 3 minutes to solve it. In order to more quickly solve it, you'll need to memorize alot of things.
 
First, it's called Rubik's cube. Secondly, I can solve it and average sub 30 seconds. There are many ways to solve it. You need to learn algorithms, which are basically patterns. You'll need to learn notation and then try and learn the beginners method. I suggest watching Dan Brown's tutorial on YouTube. Then if you want to become a speed cuber you'll have to memorize many algorithms and learn the Fridrich method or Petrus method.
 
It's been a while for me - I got my first one when I was 8 and solved it on my own; leaned the patterns myself and taught a few friends. That was a long time ago. I was never fast though. At about 10 I got a Rubik's Magic (much easier) and figured it out in a few hours. Fun stuff though - the excercize of solving them should be good for your mind and building your Pokemon playing skills.
 
I solved mine...it took me 3 weeks, and then I discovered a pattern! I can solve it consistently at a maximum of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, just depends on how fast my hands are willing to work. :p

Click to expand...

QFT... I bet most people who know how to solve (like me) only know how to by using the Layer-by-layer (begginers/simplest) method... You cannot solve very fast using that method, it takes me about 2 mins, +- 5 seconds to solve using the one and only simplest method I know... Otherwise you would have to remember lots of algorithms to speed-cube, which I'd rather not do :p
 
I know it's Rubik's Cube... it looks cooler with the X! :p

OK, I'll look... Wait, lol, Dan Brown wrote "the Davinci Code!" (probably not same person, but yeah.)
 
What about the 4x4x4? I could solve that too, only it takes alot longer.
