Rubik’s cube

Jump to newest

So I was tidying up the loft and I found my old Rubik’s cube. I set myself the task of learning and remembering all of the algorithms to solve it and, after 3 days I can finally say that I can do it.

Who else can complete one? What other pointless things have you mastered? Answers on a postcard….

I can do it. 14 hours flight followed by 4 hours wait in A&E was plenty of time to figure out what moves move which pieces in what way to allow to solve it.

I learnt as a kid - pop the cover off the centre piece on three sides, loosen the screws, all the bits come out, rebuild, tighten screws and pop covers on.

There's a vid on YouTube called 0.38 Rubik Cube in which a robot solves the cube in roughly one third of a second. You just see a blur - amazing.

My nephew who has aspergers can complete it in a minute after watching a YouTube video and remembering how it was done.

I recently bought my grandson one of these.

I just don't have the patience for it myself.

Thought it would keep him busy for a bit..tax his brain

That's impressive. My friend's son has aspergers and is into Dr Who. He can recite any episode ever verbatim. Astounding.

My brother in law can do a standard cube in about 15 seconds. He also has a huge collection of 4x4, 5x5, pyramid, dodecahedronal etc ones that he also can complete.

He works in TV and has a lot of waiting around time ??

You can get an app that allows you to scan it and it then shows you the moves to make to complete it

Controversial opinion klaxon : I used to be in awe of those that could complete one in minutes, but basically it’s just a memory test of the method isn’t it? Once you know the method and have learned it I guess it’s no different to riding a bike, you just repeat the same process?

Or am I being unfair?

For the record… I’ve never completed one!

I can!!! It takes around 3 minutes for me to solve. When I was a kid my nickname was cube cause I carried a rubix around all the time
