Any one have one? These things are pretty addictive.

Anyone know how to solve one?
I picked my up the other day and have been working on it.
Ive got the green and blue face done. Plus 2 of the side layers.
I dont understand the algorithms for the last layer :p

I would only use these instructions as a last resort, I can solve an arubics cube in about 3-4 minutes without them. It all depends on a certain combination of corner pieces for me, once I get them in place it's on. Once you pretty much solve it, you can do it again if you paid attention to how you did it the first time.

With the method im using you should be able to solve it in less than a minute. Using finger tricks and waht not.

they come with a guide how to solve them. My english teacher thought he was so cool when he could solve one like nothing. I found his little manual sitting out one time. What a douche.

Mine came with a manual. It was insanely confusing. It really didnt explain the more complex moves.

Right now i got it so i got yellow, blue, and green solved. I only have two peices that are in the wrong spot. Somehow i need it flip them.

Its all about being able to plan ahead... someone who can do a rubix cube will be a master of chess...

And i would assume a master of chess would be good at a rubix cube... but with rubix cube you must think ahead 3 to 5 different directions.

But with Chess you have to try and predict what your opponent is going to do.
A Rubiks Cube isnt going to move around on you.

I don't have one, but I wish I did. I usually see people start with a side and work thier way in a direction until a corner is left.

I can solve one... a guy at camp showed me how a few summers ago, he was one of those folks that could do it in a minute flat. I'm not that fast :(
