Have you ever completed a Rubik's Cube?

never. I usually give it a few twists and turns, see it as pointless and confusing, and usually throw it or put it back where I found it. Who the hell invented the damn things? I want to go back in time, and throw one at his face.

I have a very visually-oriented mind, but god damn... I don't get these things. I love puzzles and whatnot, but I find about the only way I'd enjoy a rubik's cube was if I was being tortured or thrown in jail and I needed a tool of mental torture to take my mind off the world, for a few days - hopefully I'd figure it out by then. 😛
 
The most I've gotten is 3 sides completed. Pulling the stickers off is for n00bs, and ruins the stickers. The best way is to take it apart, and put it back together. You can do that numerous times without screwing it up ;^)
 
Yeah, it really is pretty easy, I just memorized the moves from the booklet mine came with, lol. I can't do it any more though, I forgot one of the moves for making the last side and haven't bothered to relearn it...
 
Sure all the time, while sailing on my million dollar boat, having a drink with my supermodel wife, and counting my billions of dollars.
 
100's of times back in the late 70's/early 80's. Whenever it was that they came out.
 
3x3x3 Tons of times, 4x4x4 several times, 5x5x5 many times. 3x3x3 usually takes less than a minute. If you can do a 3x3x3 cube in about a minute (i.e. before people lose interest in watching you) they instantly think you're a genius. It helps if you actually are a genious.
