Theres a specific method that you're suppose to follow, then it's really easy. It's how those people can finish them in minutes

When I was a kid, I could.

A guy comes into the pizza shop where I work every once in a while... He'll let us scramble the cube, then he studies it for a few seconds.. Then, he solves the cube behind his back.

Yup, once you know it's real easy. I could do mine in 60 secs flat.

Yep. There is your problem.


Oh and it took me about two days when I was a kid. After that a minute or two.

Wow, link? I was never able to solve them... didn't have much patience, and anytime I got several of the same color together it would interfere with my other colors. :| When I was a kid, I got a supposedly more difficult version of it for Christmas, one side was curved... hard to describe, but it had wedge-shaped pieces you had to line up. Worst present ever!

Yeah, being able to solve a Rubik's cube is an accurate indicator of a person's intelligence...

it is not that hard to solve with the methods. Some kid explained it to me in about 15 minutes, and now i can do it pretty quick

There's a site that was posted on here in the last rubik's cube thread from a year ago that had videos of speed solving. People solving them in about 15 seconds or so. There's just a pattern you have to memorize and then it's "easy".

Around 32 second normally, and take them apart & put it together under 15 sec. (when I was a teen)

Hey don't get mad at me because you can't solve a rubix cube.
