These are assuming you know the right notation. If you don't, just check out pogobat's videos. They explain it all.

P.S. I'm not as fast as a lot of people out there and I know it. So don't go and say "You're so slow! NOOB!!" Ok?

My personal best time 1:20 (1 minute 20 seconds)

I don't understand how you even solve those things. I had one for 6 years and I still can't solve it.

hey, this puzzle was a CRAZE at my school at one time.

many students knew how to solve it. from freshmen to seniors. i'm a senior.
i learned from my classmates and now, maybe i'm faster than them.

the school even organized an official contest because of its popularity.

well... my personal best is about 2 mins and 30 seconds... or faster...
i can't remember. it's been a few months since i timed myself.

I can solve a rubiks cube in less than a minute. ;P

I can solve a rubiks cube in less than a minute. ;P

You got a camera, lets see some proof , I might upload my proof if I can find out how to make my cellphone record for more than 15 seconds.

 

[13lade619]

if I can find out how to make my cellphone record for more than 15 seconds.

hmmm... maybe the video mode is set for MMS. try changing that. i encountered that problem too...

well, i can't upload 'cause i'm only on dial-up.

anyways, what does those alogarithms in the first post mean???

1) Fi U Li Ui

Front Counter-Clockwise
Up Clockwise
Left Counter-Clockwise
Up Counter-Clockwise

 

[13lade619]

??? i still don't understand... how do you know which one to move? the mid, left or right? on what layer???

doesn't matter, i learned my own methods and i still use them now.

 

[ReVolver]

well I couldn't find a way to record but I took some pictures

Sorry for having a very old Rubix cube

[13lade619]

looks like you do it by layers, just like i do.

first layer... second layer... 4 corners... final layer...

 

[ReVolver]

Here is my order:

White Cross
1st Layer
2nd Layer
Yellow Cross
Corners
3rd Layer

 

[13lade619]

after doing the corners, there are lots of possibilites for the third layer.

the fish is the easiest for me.

Nice video

Looks like you use the "manual's" method

 

[Sevion]

Doesn't matter to me what it's called

So long as it gets the job done!

If we had a Rubik's Cube competition at my school I'd still probably win. (I doubt anyone at my school can even get one layer solved correctly )

 

[ReVolver]

I just bought the damn thing out of curiosity around 1995 or so, I never solved until 2004 or so I just couldn't find the right way of solving it until my friend showed me how on a manual that he bought it from.

 

[Sevion]

Lol. I solved again in 2:51:00

Still trying to get under 2:00:00

Well. I first found it when I was like 6 at my buddy's house. He had one and I started to twist it. I got one side, white, almost solved. Before now, I never realized that some edge pieces were in the wrong side

 

[ReVolver]

I also realized this when I was reading the manual you don't solve each side but your solve by rows instead.

 

[Sevion]

Yep. Rows. I don't like solving faces. Too complicated for me XP
