I got a standard 3 x 3,
fastest time I got is 1:10 ( I know that's not the best )

How about you guys?

My fastest is about 1min30, but that's having only bought the thing about 2 weeks ago and I'm out skiing in NZ.

Standard 25 move shuffle right? I heard that's how you shuffle it up but I'm not really sure.

yuhuh it's not that hard if you know how. and there are sooo many walkthru's and help things on the internets, and obviously videos on youtube.

i could always get one side plus the first layer. i looked online and did it. then i tried it without the internet. i got angry so i broke it with a baseball bat. the pieces went everywhere. every single piece went flying

the only way i know how to do it is to take an already-solved cube and turn the right row up and the top row to the left over and over again until it solves itself again, so i'm gonna say about 3-4 minutes

0:58 for me. but that was two years ago. it kind of gets boring after a while, and proving to people that you can do it is a a tired routine, seeing as how there are so many people who can do it now.

I can't do em.  Couple friends can do em in less than 45 sec and a bunch of kids at school can do them in less than a minute.  We have rubix cube tournaments at school.. wtf?

i have a teacher that can do it and he taught me 2/3 on how to do it. so i can get the top and middle layers. but he will not tell me how to do the bottom layer and it is pissin me off.  but i can get the 2 layers in under 2 minutes.  i tried lookin at the vids on youtube on how to solve it but non of them help me.  and the books are useless.  if anyone knows a good vid on how to do the 3 layer please let me know!

dude, i usually end up peeling the stickers and switching them, throwing the thing away, or chucking it at the nearest wall, person, animal, window etc

My time is only about 1:45-2:00. I want to learn a new technique. But I did get a 4x4x4 cube today and I've already solved it twice.
