Rubik's Cube!

[updowners]

The most complicated "Rubik's type puzzle" I can solve is the Megaminx

You can solve that thing?

I know someone who has that, it looks awesome but she says it's easy.

It's actually quite similar to solving the 3x3x3 cube up until the last face you have to solve.

Yea the megaminx is a lot easier than it looks. I managed to solve one without any guides or anything over a lunch break.

That being said I too was never really fast, I can get around 2 and a half to 3 minutes on the regular 3x3, though I know how to solve a 4x4x4 and a 5x5x5.

The coolest rubik's cube ever:

Those "Mirror Cubes" are solved the exact same way as a normal 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube too. The hard part is differentiating the pieces when you first try one. My best time for it is 36 seconds

though my average now is only 50-60 seconds.
Edit: Maybe I should put up a video sometime...

I think the hardest part of the mirror cube (I'm not exactly fast with the Rubik's cube anyways) is that they are just so hard to hold. The shape changes constantly, it doesn't align properly, I can't figure how you could speed cube it.

I just find them to be either too stiff to spin properly or too flimsy so pieces fall off a lot.

Clearly if you guys are impressed by that, you haven't seen:

Ha

!!!!- that one is soooooooo easy to solve .........oh wait you mean with the stickers on don't you

??

Thats when you move on to solving it as fast as you can.

But still... I thought the point of the Rubik's cube was to train your mind or something?

I solved a fake one with stickers

To a point, yes. But after that, it becomes about analytical skills, hand eye co-ordination and crazy dexterity.

I suck at Rubik's cubes

I have never in my life completed one w/o cheating LOL

Ah yes, I thought about that too. Especially "hand eye coordination."
I should stop staring at your avatar...

I'm only able to do the 3x3.

I had a 4x4 before and I only solved it once.
The next time I tried to solved it, one of the cubelets broke off and I lost it.

I've never tried the 5x5 though....is it hard?

 

[The Ey Man]

Ahh, I really want to get one! Still would need lots of practise since I probably can't solve it...

I've Solved a 2x2 up to a 5x5.
all i did was use principles of 3x3 and 4x4, as said by pogobat(Dan Brown)

I thought this toy died in my 20s

Oh well I can't do rubik's cube, but I can at least explain the physics of extreme gravity.

 

[InuYasha]

Another toy that they keep trying to sell that should of been off the market ages ago,funny thing is I saw a sliding version one in the sunday ads from the paper...

 

[chyyran]

I can only solve it with a guide, and it usually takes me around 5 minutes. My IQ isn't high enough.

Same here! ):

Yeap, except sometimes I mess up and take half an hour

 

[Vigilante]

Never got to solve it
