Fastest Rubik's cube times?

[zomgSEAN]

Idunno if its good or anything LOL. It cost me like 6 bucks..

This is it.

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).

Hm, i've heard that vaseline can damage one's rubiks cube when used to lubricate the mechanisms.
It essentially destroys it from the inside out. Something to do with it being oil-based? I'm not really sure.

I assume a silicone-based product would be better.

It defeats the purpose of its challenging nature when people post the methods up..

Dude... I'm not looking to become a virgin rubiks cube champion.
I will leave it how it is LOL.

think i did it in 2 mins 40 secs a long time ago but have long since forgotten how to solve it...

that would actually be better, but the damage is quite slow (from my experience) and vasceline is much cheaper

my fastest is like 48 seconds was a fluke tho i got lucky with one of the combinations
usually get 55secs to 1min 10secs.

also DO NOT buy the el cheapo ones, not worth it. dont be a tight ass get the real thing they are soooo much better

My fastest was a minute 10, i couldn't seem to break the 60s barrier, so i just stopped trying..this was last year though, if i try now, it'll probably be 1:30 min.. Yea, cheap cubes aren't worth it, i think i bought 3 before a good one, ended up breaking them all because the axel wouldn't turn.
try 4x4x4 or 5x5x5. 5x5x5 is actually easier cause there is a set colour for each side, unlike 4x4x4..

[onerealsmartass]

where can you buy the 5x5x5? i want one

I got mine from ebay,

That eastsheen one, turns pretty fast, doesn't need lubrication

We had ones with sticky colours on them and they fell off.. then we had one with tiled colours on them.. and.. they fell off as well

I'm pretty bad because I never learnt the PLL's and OLL's for 3x3 but doing it the noob way I got it down to like 1min 20s.
My friend's in the 20s range, he's a beast!
With luck I can do the 4x4x4 in 15 mins LOL. I ceebs learning parity so I just jumble up the inner sides.

Your friend is certainly a beast! I don't think my method could ever get me 20s, my average being 50s-1min.

Still, world record is like 7.08 seconds... (yep, wtf?)

I think that's a bit unfair to say. You can't expect everyone to devise algorithms when they just want to have fun seeing it work.
