Fastest Rubik's cube times?
« on: November 14, 2010, 04:13:05 pm »

Just wondering what the PBs were around the VN community. I'm pretty slow, having best done it in 42 seconds (3x3). My time for a 4x4 was in hours, having only done it once  :(
 
How about everyone else?

Lol, looks exactly like the one I've got, but for $6 cheaper!

If it doesn't move fast enough though, just break it apart and use Vasceline or something on each of the inside faces and then put it back together (although don't do this unless you really want good times because they can be hard to put back together at first).

this one is 'original' by the actual rubik's cube company. my experiences with $2 rubiks cubes are not so good, having smashed one accidentally when I dropped it (the little cubes broke!).

they're probably of quite poor quality. i've seen some with off-colours (purple rather than red and such) and I suppose it's just an aesthetic thing. Also, i've never actually seen one in a $2 shop, I looked all around high point and ended up getting a rather expensive one. But that was years ago.

I can't finish rubik's cubes.  I don't have the attention span.

^This. The satisfaction of organized colours isn't enough motivation for me, I don't think I've ever finished one.
