That was chess I blindfolded. I never claimed to ever blindfold the rubik's cube, and I can't. :)

Oh, and what sort of rubik's cube faceoff, because I'm not fast at solving it anymore. (Not that I ever was very fast).

yeah it's supposed to be! but it's something to do with memorising a certain combination or something?

That's what I did to my one when I was stuck (rearranged one or two), and then a few years ago I found it and discovered that my method had made it impossible to solve, so I chucked it. =)

alternatively, get 6-bottles of different colour spray paint and some masking tape =)

or even better, just one bottle of spray paint, then you are ALWAYS right :D

but then the stickers go all unsticky
the best way is to throw it against a wall so it breaks up into pieces then put it back together with all the colours solved

Did you peel the stickers until you completed it, or only to 'progress' you closer to the goal? If you completed it by this method, there is no way it can become impossible to solve.

Only to progress closer. But I was nooby (<10) and swapped individual stickers from all over the shop. So that for example, there was no yellow sticker in a top right corner any where on the cube, and 2 that were right-middle
