Just to say really im 2 cubes of finishing my rubix cube  I have them in the correct corners, just orientated the wrong way. Its taken me 2 years and 3 cubes (the others broke as they werent an original "Rubicks") to get this far and I cant wait to solve it. Sorry about the spam  Pace"Impossible is Nothing"  |

Rubicks Cube ?This was like back in 1980s ? I remember playing with it when I was much much younger >> Its taken me 2 years and 3 cubesAre you sure ? It couldn't be that difficult. I remember got it solve in first few days of getting my hand on one.>> and to think that the world record is 23 secondsCannot be lar. I remember it was like 12 - 13 seconds. My personal best time is 23.?? seconds. (But don't think i can ever do that again, stiff fingers, joint ache  )Hmmm... is it the same thing we are talking about ? I remember mine was definately a 3 x 3 x 3 cube

this site says the fastest time is held by one Toby Mao at 10.48sec, and was set this year at the US Nationals 2006. book your tickets early for the 2007 show. I'm sure it will sell out... http://www.speedcubing.com/rankings/ranking2006.html

| well I finally completed it over the weekend! Im so happy! I have started to time myself and I have it down to 7 minutes 21 seconds. Awesome toy! Im a massive online gamer but to be honest the cube is far more satisfying =) What an amazing puzzle! I worked out once you have the last cubes in the right corners but the wrong orientation, you hold the red face as the front face, move the corner that needs to be flipped to the top right front piece and go Ri, Di, R, D upto 4 times. Once you see it in the right orientation, the whole cube will be on the wobble, but its ok! Just keep the red face the front face and move the top layer round so that any more cubes that need to be flipped can be done as above. Once you have done all these you just twist it and voila! Done. You should have heard the noises I made once I did it first time lolHighly reccommend to anyone :-)"Impossible is Nothing" |
