Cool cool, thats not a terrible time, I'm around that time as well, I'm trying to get my time down to a minute until I try any different ways to solve it. Also, I'm buying a 5X5 Cube soon, I can't wait for it.
My sciences teacher has finished a standard rubik's cube in 4 minutes, we spent about 12 minutes just rotating it over and over
Haha, I love it when people take like an entire class to mix it up, and then I solve it in a couple mins. I try to tell them it doesn't matter how much they mix it up, but they think they can stump me.
HAh yea we did that as well. From memory the most moves it can possibly take is 52. That is, no matter how many turns the most that it can take is 52, but it is always less (providing its done the right way). My mate has a 4x4, but a 5x5 is alot easier as 4x4 has an ambigous case where it becomes impossible to do.
I'm trying to find a 5x5 from Eastsheen, I've been told by many rubiks cube men that the Rubiks.com version is very big and bad (tends to break after a very little use). Anyone have any suggestions on this? I found some on ebay, but if I can get some at the store I would rather do that
Haha I actually bought a combo deal, 2x2, 4x4, and 5x5 from Eastsheen for 30 bucks plus shipping. Its a pretty nice deal, just have to make a paypal account so I can buy it.
i've never tried Cinders's way but that should work i'm familiar with 4x4 cube, but i can't claim any great time record cos i hadn't tried to solve the cube since my childhood.. and back then it used to take me pretty much time to deal with it...
i know i know, all those puzzles that make you think, keep brain cells alive i'm thinking of unusual Rubik's cube like this or this: i guess i'll have to get regular cube and print some stickers
