RUBIK'S CUBES!!!

RUBIK'S CUBES!!!

Hi everyone, its AutumnArtist here! Quick question... So, I told my friends that I would learn how to solve a Rubik's cube by this Monday. I want to learn, and I want to be able to solve it in under 4 minutes. Anybody have advice? @Admins, how about you?

I own a 3x3 "V Cube". Here is a pic of all the sides. Please help me if you can!

I will post the pics of the sides of the cube when this thread pops up. Admins, please try to post this today so everyone can see this before Monday! Thank you.

Cool! I cube as well. My record isn't that great at 1 minute and 24 seconds, but I'm working on it! My friend's is I think somewhere around 17 seconds. I don't really know any good advice to give, sorry! Good luck!

Ok, I have to ask... Is that cube on a glass table? Or is it floating? Or do you have the Force? Or is it tied with a string? Or is a fan under it and it's really light because it's made out of paper or...something?

Haha ;) Yes, it is on a glass table.

It looks to me like it's on a glass table, if I had to guess. :P

Awesome! I also can solve a rubik's cube. And I beat my record!!! i can do it 43(!!) seconds! :).

Sorry, I'm just excited that I could do it so fast.

Is there a specific method you use to solve it? I need help to know how! :)

There are a few algorithms need to solve it. Kinda hard to explain over Cricket, sorry! There are videos online you can use to learn.

Is there any way you could put a link? Thanks, Ember/Nighthawk!

 

Sorry, we don't post links to other websites.

It's just Nighthawk, and sorry, nope. I don't have a specific video or anything, and besides, links aren't allowed on Cricket. Simply searching Rubiks Cube on online should direct you to a good video.

I cant explain how to solve unless its in person. But you can go online  and find videos that show how. :)

Ooh, I wish I could help! I know it's now late Monday (or Tuesday, depending on time zones), but I still figure I'd comment. See, I cannot even solve a 2x2. But I have an awesome rubik's cube master friend who literally can solve a regular one in what? 15 seconds? I think, I'd have to ask him again. But seriously, he's a pro. And now he can solve these weird mirror, uneven ones that look crazy cool when finished. Look up a gold mirror cube, that's what he can do now, just not extremely fast. It's a shame I couldn't get you in contact with him. He's literally a pro, but I've never learned how to solve even a 2x2. Well, good luck! I'm going to work on learning to solve them soon, too.

I think the 2x2 is just as hard as the 3x3. Also, my brother has one of the ones that you solve by shape instead of color. It's really fun!
