Have you ever solved one?

Have you ever solved a rubicks cube? Iwas playing wiht one I have on my desk and relized I have never solved one. Have you?

Nope - I don't have a logical enough mind for it!

nope, I only have a few squares out of place but the more I try to solve it the more messed up I get it.

my sister solved hers by pulling the coloured stickers off and replacing them in the right places

I've solved one the removing the colored stickers route!

Same here. Of course, when I did that I didn't realize you would never be able to "properly" solve the puzzle again, but I'm not sure I would have cared if I had known ... (Patience is not known to be one of my virtues. )

Nope, never.

I once saw a guy on the Guinness World Records tv show solving it blindfolded. He was shown the cube for about a minute, then he was blindfolded and solved it. That was really mind-blowing.

My parents *claim* that I could solve the cube in less then a minute. Honestly though since I can remember, I never remember solving it. My mom said that I could do it when I was too.

I do remember actually taking the blocks apart and putting them back together correctly though. I never did the sticker thing

My dad can solve it the "traditional" way in a twenty minutes. He showed me how to, but I swear I'll never be able to remember the right pattern to twist the blocks in!

I can usually solve one in an hour or less. It just takes practice to get used to what to do in what situation. I haven't done one for a couple years though so I'm probably a little rusty.

I bought my daughter one for Christmas, she's 10 and wanted one. I downloaded instructions so I could show off; boy was that a mistake! I think the instructions are harder to solve!

My bf's best friend can do it in about a minute, i think.

For my birthday my sister had one made for me instead of colors on each side there were pictures of me on it......LOL ( was a gag gift ) I messed it up and tried and tried and tried to put it back but couldnt.I threw it out

I have never tried to solve one but I know that I would be really bad at it. There is a group of kids at my school who carry them around all day working on them. It is a bit strange.

No, but why do you ask? Are they making a comeback? It seems like about thirty years since I saw one, about the same time as the Space Invaders game. The reason I ask is because I saw one of the birds that dunk into a glass of water sitting in front of them, and the shopkeeper that had it acted like it was brand new. I had one when I was a kid. I may not be the oldest guy on this site but that dunking bird sure isn't new! But I do have a Hula Hoop that I keep hoping my grandchildren will get a kick out of some day if my daughter ever gets around to helping out.

Never, and it nearly went the distance with my frustration

If solving it means throwing it out of the window then yeah I did it!!

To my recollection I have never been able to legitimatly solve it, though I could get three sides done! I almost bought one the other day too though just cuz I wanted to see if I could. I may have to try again!

Rubick's cubes and the Friday newspaper sudoku are beyond my comprehension.
