How fast do you solve a rubiks cube?

They're impossible and i won't believe that any of you've done it unless you post a video of you doing it.

I solved a little more than two thirds of one once. It took me a day and a half of working on it off and on, then one of my kids got a hold of it when I was taking a break an completely tangled it up again. My heart was irreparably broken, I gave up on humanity and haven't attempted one since.

I've never done it. I've never had a Rubiks cube either though.

I can solve one in a little over a minute.

I don't solve them. I can't. And I refuse to look up that little formula that tells you how.

1 minute and 19 seconds! Probably a little faster, since I'm using my cells' stopwatch. hooray!

The world record is like six times faster... but still.

I'm not Asian enough to solve such things.

I can make a video of it, but it'll probably take me at least ten minutes to solve.

I used to bet people in school that i'd solve it by the end of class then i'd take some of the stickers off and replace em. Don't think they make em with paper stickers anymore but i think you can still pull them apart and pop the squares back together. Made enough to support my happy smoke habbit for awhile, till they realized wut I was doing.

Yeah they still have stickers on them. A good way to mess with people who actually can do it is to take it apart and randomly put it back together making totally unsolvable. But if the person is good enough they will realize as soon as they see a pattern that shouldn't be there.

This is exactly why I think Scuba is so fucking awesome. This and the kick ass avatar that he got from that s.o.t.d thing. Smile

Anybody who can solve a rubiks cube in under a minute is a freak of nature and deserves to be shunned from society.

I've never really had one so I don't know if I could solve it or not. I messed around with one once at my grandparents house when I was a kid and I tried taking the stickers off but ended up ripping them and ruining it. Thinking about it I guess that each side should be defined by the colour of the centre square, because they always stay in the centre of a face, so if you swap around stickers so there are two red squares in the centre of their faces then it would be unsolvable.

That's true. But anyone who has ever solved one would see that immediately because the first thing you do is look a look at the center to determine what color that side will be. If I saw two red centers, I'd violently throw the cube at whoever had it last for ruining my CUBE!!

Speaking of throwing cubes, mine is broken from being thrown across a church and hitting a pew. My best friend Greg throws like a girl and made it like halfway to me when we were playing Cube Catch(a game I had invented 3 minutes prior to the incident).

So you can put it into a pattarn that would make it unsolvable without changing the centre squares?

and what's a Throwing Cube, some kinda weapon like a throwing star?

Yeah if you take off one of the corner pieces and just turn it, putting it back on in a different position, it becomes impossible to solve.

Yes, but they can only be used in churches, and they must be blessed by the Pope.

I've been able to solve the Rubik's cube twice and I'm not gonna lie it took me a while but I'm glad I can even say that I have solved it. Maybe I'll try one more time since I have a Rubik's cube just sitting here waiting to be solved.

So you won't believe me that I never completely solved one? Unless I post a video of not solving one?

Well, if i'm gonna stick with my statement, i'm going all the way. So, yeah, i'll believe you've done it until you post a video of you trying and failing to solve a rubik's cube. Or, like, a picture of you looking at a rubik's cube really frustratedly would suffice in a pinch.

Thats a good one. I could make a great video of me doing that. Or should I say, of not doing that. Either way, I could do it. I just know I could.
