solve a rubiks cube

...So good. Just bought a Rubik’s Cube yesterday evening. I spent all of yesterday evening and this morning working on it with the included solution. Spent half the night on it too. The more I work with the solutions and algorithms, the easier it becomes for me to know what I need to do next, and what to do when I run into an issue. And my progress so far has shown that the continued attempts – as well as just having a vague idea of what the next step is – are speeding up how quickly I solve the puzzle. So, all in all, things are looking quite good. If I stick with this, I’m sure I’ll have everything memorized and I can solve this sucker by heart.

All I need to do now is buy a rubik’s cube!! :D
Or I could scrounge around the attic to look for me old one.. Hmm.

im thinking of giving this goal up because i have no idea where to buy a rubiks cube at all ? so without one i have no chsnce of actually doing this

I was good at this when I was younger. If I could relearn it, that would make me happy.

I hadn’t done this in years…got one side when I was like 8. But recently I picked it up again and decided to do it with no tips, book, anything. I know I can. So I realized that not only do you have to get one side but the conrners have to be aligned properly. I got one side and 2/3 of all the other sides (not bottom) and I am stuck. I know I can get it, but I am afraid to move what I have already done! This is an interesting lesson…to get further I am going to have to risk losing what I have already accomplished. I’m not ready yet so I will put it down for a while, maybe I will be soon.

i just saw this on someone elses profile and remembered how numerous times i tried and failed at solving it i need to get more patience and then maybe one day i will solve it

I am having a lot of trouble finding a rubiks cube without stickers. I want one the has the colours manufactured into it so that I will have NO temptation to peel them all off and cheat!

I solved my very first rubiks cube today (without cheating)! I’m so happy about that. Now I just have to memorise the algorithms so that I can do it by heart.

This is a task that I’ve had a little help with…the Missus brought one for me as a Christmas present after hearing my ramblings about these sort of things too many times. AND…It comes with a solution. Bonus. Ready with the pen to tick this one off….

...The main problem is in memorizing this soluton though. I’ve managed to work though the solution and “solve” the cube, but I’m not ticking it off until I can do it unaided, like those smarmy kids used to do on Childrens TV in the ‘80s (Krackerjack seems to spring to mind for this sort of shenanigans…)

A good start, but not off the list just yet :)

So does it count if you use the booklet, or only if you know how to do it using the tips & tricks so you can beat it on your own? Currently working on it & making progress, I believe this can be done by the end of January!
