Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyooooooooooooooooooooooo~

I was just wonderin if any of y'all play with rubix cubes at all? :)

my current best times are

1:04 - 3x3 (I use F2L and Beginners... so ya)
0:40 - 2x2 (ya, not impressive)

And I'm learning some new algorithms for my Megaminx's last layer! I'm following MeMyself&Pi's video, a right trigger feels more comfortable for me~

You could make a checker board just by using an algorithm xD

Never finished one. I suck at puzzle games(or wat?) like Rubik Cubes.

My best time was like 1:14 or so on a 3x3x3. Never cared enough to learn F2L or L2L or anything to go sub-60, though.

My greatest rubix cube achievement so far has been finishing one side of it.

I got 1:40 on 3x3, 0:30 on 2x2.

Not sure if it counts, but I've gotten about 3 mins on my 3x3x3 bump cube, and done a few successful solves of 7x7x7 - I never bothered to time those properly.

I do speedcubing competitively. :D

I've found the 3x3 blindfold methods somewhat useful for memorizing maps while playing with FL.

Yoooo I learned blindfold methods but I hate doing it. Plus Im still learning my OLLs and PLLs :c

But I do it with the Alphabet and I just make up words, not stories so if the combo is liek QBRTD it'll just sound like "Kwa bur tid"

I finished five and then spent hours trying to solve the last and messed it up and eventually tossed it in the bin.

when i was a sophomore in high school, i would competitively speedcube with some people and win 90% of the time, because i usually averaged 50s to 1min. i think my record was between 35s to 40s, but it was just so long ago i can't remember, and i'm sure it was just luck.

I can consistently achieve 50s for 3x3x3, but I'm noob and use full step algorithms while spending at least half the time checking where pieces are to do the next move ;~;

Was too lazy to learn the faster algorithms >.>

I used to average about 20 sec on 3x3, 2 min on 4x4 and little less than 10 sec on 2x2.
my WCA profile: http://worldcubeassociation.org/results ... 2011SPAA01

But I haven't cubed since last october so atm i think i'd average like 25-27 sec
It's nice to see that some people still play with that toy :3

You guys might be interested in this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dt5qgfggfmfd3 ... 173945.mp4 (could only use one hand because I had to hold the camera with my other hand, lol)

So yeah, basically same principle, but looks waaayyy more mind twisting imo :D

The last thing I remember doing with my Rubik's Cube was peeling all the stickers off and throwing it at the ground and watching it explode. Good times.

Any tips?

Yeah just solving your cross on the bottom shaves off time pretty quickly.

But I really like my Zhanchi! I wish i could use a sticker-less in a real WCA event though x.x
