Rubiks cube

Post by **Daydreamer** » May 26th, 2008, 12:35 pm

4x4x4 = Rubik's Revenge
5x5x5 = Professor's Cube

With the 4x4x4 I'm down to an average of about 7-8 minutes, my best being somewhere just above the 5 minute limit.

I haven't stopped my 5x5x5 time yet but it should be somewhere between 10-15 minutes.

As for the 3x3x3 I don't know since I don't have one, but since solving the larger cubes involves solving the 3x3x3 in the end (at least with the method I use) it's definitely below 5 minutes.

I had been thinking of folding another Rubik cube and I finally did it. I really like this model:

Does it work?

i don't think it works, haha

i can do it a little above 1 min...

It is taking me years and I am still working on it

I once saw one of the seniors in my school finish it in 30 seconds.

there's actually a method to do this, you CAN if you want to randomly switch it, but look for the method, it's for sure can help you solve it every time. i'm striving for that 30 seconds...just gotta learn a new method =)

The fastest time recorded is about an average 20 seconds, and my average time is now 15 minutes! With an instruction book..

i think my best is SEVEN MONTHS.

'sup. hi, um, i've been solving the rubiks cube for a little under a month, and i'm 10 years old, and i can solve the rubiks cube with an average of about 1 min. 15 sec., however my personal best is 54.78 seconds. what do you guys think? but really, i think you guys are being sarcastic, i mean, to learn the BEGINNER method, you only need to dedicate 100% of you time and work nonstop and be pretty smart, then you'll be fine, though that process would probably take, oh, i don't know, one week, at the slowest?

JK! (kind of.....)

After some years trying to solve it for a month, then I forget it for a couple of years, and so on... I can solve almost it

... I always get the entire cube solved but two pieces

... And I can´t swap them without mixing the rest of the colors again

The algorithms that I find on the internet doesn´t works at all

It would really help if you don't toss the instruction book that goes with the Cube, just a tip, it REALLY HELPS.

My Best is now 9 MINUTES AND 27 SECONDS WOOT! And yes I time myself...and still use the instruction book...

Well, I have an "official" cube since a month, so now I have that instructions book, but it´s not very helpful for me.

I can solve two layers with videos and stuff from the internet... but that´s all

I´ll keep on trying in anyway.

The algorithms on the net are all written in code that varies between authors. Really once you learn the code all you have to do is memorize it. After that it actually almost becomes second nature for your hands to do certain turns and twists.

I have solved a 4x4 cube in 15 minutes. I could do it faster but I am way too distracted.

The real problem I have is the way I solve the 4x4. There is another way that is much more efficient and eliminates parity errors. In order to solve these parity errors I had to memorize a very long algorithm- r2,B2,U2,l,U2,ri,U2,r,U2,F2,r,F2li,B2,r2. I have my methods for memorization so it only took me about four days or so. There is another algorithm but I do not feel like writing it at the moment.

has any on been able to make an origami version. i am currently working on it and have a good starting point. i need to work on the corners though. but i am in the prosess of fishing it, and was wondering if any had figured it out yet.
