<p>Do any of you notice Rubiks Cubes becoming popular around your school? Where I live, it seems everyone is starting to do it after I showed one or two people.</p>

<p>the last time I tried using a Rubiks Cube it sort of fell apart....</p>
<p>really? I just randomly got into rubik's cubes a few weeks ago (and a few days ago I saw a kid with a rubik's cube, and I saw one at the hospital I volunteer in).</p>
<p>Yes, I see people timing themselves and racing for whatever reason..</p>
<p>I found it hard to solve a single face let alone the whole cube. o_O</p>
<p>But that was like...5 years ago. Maybe I should give it a go again</p>
<p>Well, when one solves a single face to solve the entire cube. You are technically solving 2 1/3 faces.</p>
<p>My current record is about 1:30</p>
<p>Hope to get that down to a minute over the summer</p>
<p>I lose interest after approximately 3 minutes..</p>
<p>I recently broke my Rubik's Cube (I tried juggling [2 balls and a rubik's cube] and solving it at the same time... didn't work out). Anyone know the best place to get one? (or the best "type")?</p>
<p>I think I have a Rubik's Cube... somewhere in the mess that is my room. It's probably lost... forever.</p>
<p>i don't have one, but a friend of mine became an expert at the 3 by 3 cube, so he decided to challenge himself a little more and bought a 4 by 4, which he solved, so then when he was really sick, we bought him a 5 by 5 as a get well present, and i don't know whether he figured that one out or not....</p>
<p>I always wanted to be a rubik's cube prodigy. It's a shame that I don't even own one, lol!</p>
<p>I can solve 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and Square-one. Please check out my webpage at <a href="http://www.pjk.has.it%5B/url%5D">http://www.pjk.has.it</a> if you want to learn to solve, or if you want to learn to get real quick. I need to update my times on there, one-handed 3x3 record is now 2:13.xx and 2x2 single is 7.38 seconds.</p>
<p>The best place to buy one is off eBay, or at your local Walmart. Also, if you are interested in speedcubing, I'd recommend picking up some silicone spray at your local hardware store, and lube it up. To lube it, just turn a face 45 degrees, and pop out the middle piece or just lift it up a bit, and spray it, then move the pieces around to work it in, and do it in about 2-3 other spots. </p>

<p>P.S. I think Rubiks are coming back into the hobby. I used to be the only one at my school doing it, and I was inspired after the WR was broken, and now about 30 people do it. Check out my beginners guide.</p>
<p>Yeah it happened at my school. I saw one kid do it, and then I learned how to and now like 3 or 4 other kids can do it too. If no one in your school does it, I don't see how one has a will to learn it.</p>
<p>u r soo nerd.</p>
<p>May 25, 2006 On April 6, 2006 9 year old J. Bernett Orlando solved a Rubik's Cube blindfolded for the Success Network Perambalur in Chennai, India. Check out the video!</p>
<p>May 23, 2006 Erik Akkersdijk broke the Unofficial World Record for solving Rubik's 2x2x2 Cube, with a new average record of 5.12 seconds. </p>
<p>May 21, 2006 Nathan Moreau broke the Unofficial World Record for solving Rubik's 3x3x3 Cube, with a new average record of 12.56 seconds. </p>
<p>damn, less than 15 seconds. how do you do it blindfolded?? I thought colorblind kids had a difficult time as it is . . .</p>
<p>I guess your fingers become so accustomed</p>
<p>Yeah, the kids I know who can do that stuff under a minute use all of these algorithms. They're like computing stuff in their heads. Weird.</p>
<p>To do it blindfolded, what you do it memorized the cube, some pople memorize stories to fit the colors, others use numbers (which I think is easier). Then you perform certain algorithms that cycle the pieces around. Solving blindfolded, and solving just in general is not as hard as it sounds. Check out my site sometime if you guys want to learn, you can probably learn to solve in about 1 hr. <a href="http://www.pjk.has.it%5B/url%5D">http://www.pjk.has.it</a></p>
<p>Right now I average between 30-40 seconds, by the time I get all the algorithms down, I should average sub-20. To get sub-15, you really need to work at it.</p>
