Mightymorphin14
I have three different colored ones.
But, i can only get like one side, and all of the edges matched up.

PlasticUndead
I pull them apart & just place it back together properly.
So.... Everytime I've ever owned one.

Twice. Probably. Hate the things.

I really never tried one of those things except when I was young and didn't have a chance.

You just need to think about it in three dimensions.
LavenderMe

I have tried it like 3 times in a year spand and I was soo close..Until my little bro messed it up one time.
nonstoptalker
i get too bored with them. i've never held one for more than 5 minutes.
Ekim_Dude
My friend can do one in like 13 seconds.
Jessicaax
i was working on mine for like 3 hours.
and i did'nt even get it.
DaynaK
Everyone tries to do it the wrong way. You don't piece it together side by side. Try it like that, and you'll NEVER do it.

There's "algorithms"/"formulas" which will solve it for you.
MavericksFan4455
I have tried, and haven't succeeded in doing it.
quixoticgriffins
I've gotten as far as three sides done in the very quick span of three years haha. This one kid in my class though can do it in like, thirty seconds, no joke!
JMSTER109

sadia

It is very fun, but also frustrating, so just try it and see what happens.
OhHowClichexx
these kids in my school, i watched them solve it in 3 minutes. it was amazing
rainydaze
my boyfriend has been teaching me how to solve them

he learned from his friend who can do it in like 30 seconds, my boyfriend can do it in about 1 minute and I can solve 5 sides, the last one always throws me off

the trick is you pick one side, make the cross, making sure the edges match on the other sides too, then make the crosses on the middle four layers, not worrying about the top corners being properly aligned then the is an algarithm to finish it off
AYO_CHALIE!
I just switched the stickers around.
Chaoscrippler
I just take off all the stickers.
drummerdude14

That's the Cheap way to do it.
kristathegreat
ive have one for about 5 years and havnt gotten anywhere with it
PsychoWithaStick
my brother freaks me out with those things. he solves them in like 2 minutes. personally, i can only get a cross in the middle, i cant get the corner pieces right without screwing it up.

Two minutes is my fastest but it usually takes a bit longer. smile.gif My uncle showed me how he does it he can do them in about 30 seconds. i think it depends a lot on how quickly you can turn the cube. Most people cant solve them because the try side by side which makes it harder to do without messing up what you have already done! biggrin.gif
xxheyhunnxx
when it comes to these types of games, i never win.
lol.

It really is about how fast you can move the cube, my boyfriend cut his time in half by breaking it apart and sanding all the pieces as well as greasing it up. My friend who can do it extremely fast used lube on his and he can move it with a simple finger flick
pommes007
its hard to do but i think i solved it once =D
ashley_l0ves_youu
Uh, i started my Rubix Cube like 2 months ago. I'm not even close to finishing yet.
Those things piss me off hardcore. Ahha
Whisp
I can solve in about one minute, just takes a little memorization and some help from the internet and you'll get it in no time, on the downside, one of my friends lost my Rubik's cube, so I am not longer able to amaze people with my superior memorization skills tongue.gif
Spoinkerz69
I've never been able to solve it, and it is tawnting me..
