Have you ever mastered the Rubiks cube?

Question

can you unravel it ? I could never get more than one or two sides at a time!

Answer 1

nope but my friend says that there's a way of doing it every time  u just have to remember a specific rule lol

Answer 2

I pulled all the  panels off and stuck them on so it looked like it was completed

Answer 3

I have done it a couple of times in the past but it was probably a fluke...lol

Answer 4

Yep!

theres a specific algorithm or way of doing it, that works every time

Answer 5

It is not worth the effort to me but my sister can do it in minutes.

Answer 6

Mastered mine with a big hammer

Answer 7

google "how to solve a rubiks cube"

I have been able to solve them for about 6 months. A friend taught me to. The trick is not to do one side at a time, but to think about the entire cube. Good Luck!

Answer 8

I can't but I saw this girl at my school- she did it really quick...

One minute she's got half the sides, then the next minute, she finished...?!

Answer 9

I'm not smart enough.  

Answer 10

nope. no patience.

only get one side

rubiks cube newbs ftw!

Answer 11

I learnt from Tyson Mao's videos on YouTube.

I didn't want to, but after my girlfriend seen him on Beauty and the Geek, she made me do it his way.

I must say, he's precise and it's easy to learn.

I think there's 8 or 9 parts, but it's easily understandable.

Answer 13

Answer 14

The Rubik's cube is based around a certain square or circular(depending on how old the Rubik's cube is).... this means that the colours in the centre of a side is always going to be the same colour. It cannot change...

Solution 1!!

Notation: U = Up, D = Down, F = Front, B = Back, L = Left, R = Right. CW = Clockwise, CCW = Counter-clockwise. X = Turn side X 90° CW, X' = Turn side X 90° CCW, X2 = Turn side X 180°. "Rotate" means to re-orient a piece, keeping its location. "Swap" means for two or more pieces to exchange places. "Move" means to change the location of one piece while disregarding what goes in its original location.

Step 1 -- Do the first face

Solve one face, with all corners and edge pieces in their correct locations. If you can't do this without the cheat sheet you're not ready for the cheat sheet.

Step 2 -- Do the middle layer edge pieces

F' D' F D L D L' (move edge piece from BD to FL)

F D F' D' R' D' R (move edge piece from BD to FR)

Step 3 -- Form cross on last layer

B U L U' L' B' (Rotate UB and UL pieces)

B L U L' U' B' (Rotate UB and UF pieces)

Step 4 -- Rotate U face edge pieces

R2 D' U2 R' L F2 R L' D R2 (Swap UF, UB, UR CW)

R2 D' R' L F2 R L' U2 D R2 (Swap UF, UB, UR CCW)

R2 D2 B2 D L2 F2 L2 F2 L2 F2 D' B2 D2 R2 (Swap UF and UR; swap UB and UL)

Step 5 -- Position U face corner pieces

L' U R U' L U R' U' (Swap UFL, UBL, UBR CW)

U R U' L' U R' U' L (Swap UFL, UBL, UBR CCW)

R' B2 F R F' R' F R F' R' F R F' R' B2 R (Swap UFL and UBR; swap UFR and UBL)

B L U L' U' L U L' U' L U L' U' B' (Swap UFL and UFR; swap UBL and UBR)

Step 6 -- Rotate corner pieces

Operates on UFR piece. Must do 2 or 3 at a time (one CW, one CCW; or three CW; or three CCW)

F D F' D' F D F' D' (turn clockwise)

D F D' F' D F D' F' (turn counter-clockwise)

Solution 2!!

Notation: U = Up, D = Down, F = Front, B = Back, L = Left, R = Right. CW = Clockwise, CCW = Counter-clockwise. X = Turn side X 90° CW, X' = Turn side X 90° CCW, X2 = Turn side X 180°. "Rotate" means to re-orient a piece, keeping its location. "Swap" means for two or more pieces to exchange places. "Move" means to change the location of one piece while disregarding what goes in its original location.

Step 1 -- U face edge pieces

Solve the four U face edge pieces.

Step 2 -- U face corner pieces

Solve three of the U face corner pieces.

Step 3 -- Middle edge pieces

Turn the cube upside-down and solve the UF, UL and UB pieces by swapping the BR piece with the appropriate edge piece.

Step 4 -- Solve remaining edge pieces

B U' B' U R' U R U' (Rotate both UR and BR)

U' R' U' R U' R' U' R U' (Swap UR and BR)

B U B' U B U B' U2 (Swap and rotate UR and BR)

Step 5 -- Position corner pieces

This move swaps the UFL, DBR, and one other corner piece. These moves do the same thing but rotate the corner pieces in a different direction.

[U movement] F' D2 F [U movement] F' D2 F [U movement]

[U movement] L D2 L' [U movement] L D2 L' [U movement]

Step 6 -- Orient corner pieces correctly

This move rotates the UFL piece. Move must be done in pairs: one CW and one CCW rotation, operating at the same location.

L D2 L' F' D2 F (Rotate piece CW)

F' D2 F L D2 L' (Rotate piece CCW)

GOOD LUCK!!! I hope that helps, for speedier versons it can take a long time to master and so you would probably need a better set of instructions, I hope that helps!!

Answer 15

my process of completing the cube:

jumble a brand new cube up.

try to solve it

try to solve it again

and last but not least....  throw it out the window buy a new one and tell evryone you did it - problem solved!!!

Answer 16

My boyfriend's little brother can do it VERY fast and even made up his own Rubix language. He has even done the 4 sided Rubix, the trianglular one and another one which can go out of shape, he is now thinking of making his own.

Lmao, he is very very smart.

Answer 17

No, and I am sure that there will be a bunch of liars here, posting that they did.

Answer 18

I have solved one a couple of times.

But perhaps this will help you...

Answer 19

No I don't even know if I have one in the house anymore.

Answer 20

Yes i worked it all out when i was 12yrs old.....prior to that when i was 10yrs old i picked the stickers off and placed them in the right place....what a cheat. Took me two more years to figure it though.

Answer 21

yeah, but i cheated and got a friend to show me how to do it.
