I can solve it in about 2 minutes, my personal record is 1 1/2 minutes. I did a webpage explaining how to solce it (in Spanish) and it has over 500.000 visits since 1998.

Yeah rightDaydreamer wrote:I challenge you (and everyone else who's up for it) to try to create a working Rubic Cube (it can be modular if necessary.....)
I read somewhere that after Erno Rubik designed the cube, he spent several years thinking that it couldn't be manufactured due to the technology it required
It would have to! A working rubik's cube from one piece of paper is impossibleDaydreamer wrote:(it can be modular if necessary.....)
Couldn't someone somehow eventually figure out how to do this?Brimstone wrote:...after Erno Rubik designed the cube, he spent several years thinking that it couldn't be manufactured due to the technology it required
I'm not one to count my chicken's before they hatch, but I think I am about 2-3 weeks away from completing a working origami Rubik's cube. I am constructing it using my construction set (the puzzles etc.), thus it will be constructed without glue or cuts using rectangular pieces of paper of varying sizes held together by friction, locks and/or prayer.
Here's hoping!

Great I'll be waiting. Meanwhile people can check this cool Rubik video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkft2qaKv_o
Which reminds me - when I was younger I had a rubix cube once. A friend of mine tried the same trick but didn't succeed, so he left it half finished, and to my big surprise when I tried the cube later it was impossible to solve it!saj wrote:Which reminds me - I used to cheat by pealing the stickers off and then 'making' the perfect cube !

I can't solve it fast, either. I did manage the Rubik's Revenge (5X5 cube)once, though.DZIGGITAI wrote:It took me a couple of hours the first time (while watching Family Guy)
My fastest time? I think 20 mins. Yeah, it's terrible.
I like playing the online one, though.

Great origami Rubik's Cube. I solved The Rubik's cube in the average of 24 seconds.

Isn't the five by five called the professor's cube.GreyGeese wrote: I can't solve it fast, either. I did manage the Rubik's Revenge (5X5 cube)once, though.
Anyways, I have done the regular three by three in a little under two minutes
I can also complete the four by four in under fifteen minutes usually. I even memorized the algorithm for fixing parity errors.
Whenever I do complex Origami I get this sinking feeling.

Unlike SOME of you who peel of the stickers, I do it the HARD way by taking apart the pieces of the cube and rearranging them.
I've fallen down, and I can't get up.
