I can't. Even the instructions are torture.

Yes I used a you tube video then made my own notes and now I can do it super fast
It took me absolutely ages to finally get there even with the videos

@DramaAlpaca YouTube instructions. Thought it would be pretty straight forward when being spoon fed the info. It's not!
I was always able to do one side. That's about it.
Can do the first couple of steps in the videos but after that it all goes pear shaped.

No. But my son can in less than 30 seconds. Which is terribly slow compared to the world record!

Same here. I did it a couple of times, very slowly and painstakingly following the online instructions.

My DS11 taught himself and does it in about 20-30secs. I haven't the patience to learn it that well!

I got my time down to less than 4 minutes when I was at uni. I cant even remember the first set of algorithms nowadays!

Yes! Learnt when they first came out in the early 80s and can still do it now.

No.
I did manage two sides once and that was it.

My ds managed it with a you tube video.

I can with instructions. I've learnt the beginning stages so can do them on my own now. I use these:www.youcandothecube.com/solve-it/3x3-solution

Nope. I got many one years ago when they first came out in the 70s and I could never do it. I don't remember it coming with instructions though.
