I can't. Even the instructions are torture.

I learnt years ago how to do it so could the . I can't remember how. I'd need to follow instructions again to master it once more.

Yes, in less than a minute. I agree with someone further up, it's my super-power. My only super-power.
I learned when I was a kid and have never forgotten. I couldn't explain my method to shaken else though, if I think about it too much I get stuck

Yes, in about 2 mins, it's a great party trick.

Taught myself using this website, good simple written instructions and videos of each step. Last step is a huge leap of faith but it works! Took me about 4 hours to learn then lots of practice.

I have tried. DS could do it in 7 seconds. I’m dyslexic but I’m determined to beat it one day.

@WhenSheWasBad

I can (it’s been a while though so I need to practice). Best time was 2 mins 30.

No idea how people get down to 30 seconds.

A combination of practise and a speed cube. (DS's best cube isn't Rubiks brand, but is the one they use in the competitions. It cost about £70 Shock)

I have the original book but can still only do 2 rows without it. X

£70 Shock

Seriously you could buy me the best cube on the planet - I’d still not get close to your sons record.

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 28/10/2021 22:11

I know! He sold his electric guitar and amp to buy it.

The world record is 3.something seconds! Shock
Apparently there's a different method to the one DS uses, which is quicker. He's just too lazy to learn it Grin

DrMadelineMaxwell · 28/10/2021 22:13

Yes. Also in approx 2 mins and also taught myself with the picture steps on soeedcube.au as a PP said.

It's my party trick to impress my class!

I could when I was at school. I bought a book. Now I can only do the top layer.

DS did it in 14.68 seconds yesterday. He’s obsessed currently. He can also do the 4x4 and 5x5.
