Rubix fucking cube

[onmybroomstick]

I've been sat for hours!!!! How the bloody hell do you solve these???? My son is expecting me to have mastered this by morning. I can't even make sense of it with Google. Aibu to beg someone to make this easy for meeeee

I can't do it 🤔 back to google PDF

My pb with a cube is five minutes. I won the 1980 inter-school champion in my area (Cube Geek Alert) .....

I bloody love it......

The cross!!!!

I'm so determined to do it but I'm not feeling hopeful it's going to happen

I used to be able to do it when they first came out. There is one of the moves that I can't remember now though. The msthod I learnt involved getting the top face, then the bottom corners and then you slotted all the other pieces into place with a specific move.

I don't know what the cross thing is, I don't do it that way.

You need written instructions, none of this new fangled video nonsense!

I can do all but the last square, remembered from the 80s.

I am same as Soup Dragon, get one face (with edge colours correct) then the second and if your corners are correct you are about ten moves away.

Corners have to be in place though or it just won't work.

After watching dh faff with his for weeks last year I bought a new one and told him I'd done his in an hour. He still hasn't cottoned on.

good instructions the trick is to make sure you don't get your clockwise and anti clockwise turns muddled.

You need this book - total genius :)

The children at school love it when I can solve their cubes!

You tube worked for ds1 (14)

I was proudly telling my colleagues he'd completed it on Christmas Day afternoon having got it in his stocking in the morning and it transpired when I got home from work that he'd done it with the help of videos

DH didn't bother to put that bit in the text!

If we'd had YouTube back in the 80's mine might not have gone in the bin! I used to be pleased if I got one side completed.....

All white on one side!!!!!!!!

Excitement over. Apparently they all needed to be the same colour along the edge next to it. I hate the rubix

Ds (12) is a cyber.

His personal best time is 11 seconds or something ridiculous!!!

I couldn't do a Rubix cube...I lost the will to live too quickly.

Cuber not cyber.

My son can do a Rubix cube easy. He is 10 but this is one of the 'perks' at being ASD.

The key thing is not to change the orientation of the cube when following the instructions, and then they should work okay :)

Managed that. Completely messing up th next stage tho....this is the furthest I've got. Can not give up. So jealous of all the children that can do it

My dh googled it then memorised the wists and its his party trick.
He didnt tell me he'd googled it, i saw it in the pc history!

I've just watched a video of an America's Got Talent entrant who did an act where he solved three Rubik's cubes whilst blindfolded, and for the third one he did it one handed.
'Twas very impressive

DS had many of them...pyramid ones and ones with 4 and 5 rows. He can do them all in about 30 seconds. He is awesome aspie

My husband can do these types of puzzles (cube, pyramid etc) in under a minute. He is so smug About this I can't even be in the same room as the sodding cube.
