It's not that hard really, if you buy the cube it comes with an easy 7 step solution guide that even a moron can figure out. It's easy to memorize and show off your new "skill" and make people think you're smart.

How? :cry: I've never been able to. Is there some technique to it or what? I just make progress then undo it trying to make more progress.

Record what you did then do it in reverse that order.

It just requires both memorization of algorithms and a simple understanding of how it works.

What algorithm could possibly relate to a rubiks cube? Even the box says it's all about just remembering what you did.

I've tried them but I don't know if I've ever truly solved one.  You used to be able to take them apart and put them back in order.

No, there are algorithms. That's why experienced players can let someone else mix it up for them, then solve it blindfolded in a tub of sharks in 30 seconds.

Begginer method

Fridrich method

http://www.speedcubing.com/chris/3-orientations.html

http://www.speedcubing.com/chris/3-permutations.html

The fridrich method is what most people use to get it done in under 30 seconds but requires the memorization of 94 algorithms

I saw a kid solve it in about 30 seconds while absolutely wasted. I was impressed. I've never had one so I don't know if I can do it. I would think I could get good at it if I tried it for awhile.

Theres not really a trick to it, its just memorizing algorithms and such. I have like 10 memorized and i can do it in around 1min 30 seconds. i could possibly be faster if i practiced more though.
