Rubik's Cube

[Fierce Muffin 490]

This is a thread for general talk about puzzles, mostly Rubik's Cube, though.

Talk about your best times, what puzzles you can solve, and what puzzles you have. You can even tell what puzzles you want or are going to get in the future. Tell how you got into cubing or the history of your cubes.

For me, I have two 3x3x3s, one Rubik's and the other DIY, an Eastsheen 2x2x2, an Eastsheen 4x4x4, two 5x5x5s, one Rubik's and the other Eastsheen, and a Chinese Megaminx.

2x2x2 rank: 849-986 out of 1696 | Time: 9.xx

3x3x3 rank: 2844 out of 4553 | Time: 39.84

3x3x3 one-handed rank: 1267 out of 1287 | Time: 3:56.22

4x4x4 rank: 1062 out of 1327 | Time: 2:52.38

5x5x5 rank: 627 out of 681 | Time: 6:18.29

Megaminx rank: 260 out of 273 | Time: 7:20.82

Ranks are taken from http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/events.php under "World" for region, "All" for year, "All Persons" for show, and "Single" for the time.

Have any of you beat my 3x3x3 time? Hopefully not. :

I can only solve a 2x2x2, 3x3x3 and 4x4x4 but, I only started learning in early jan. :/

I've solved 10xe+9001 googolplexahedrons. In under 0.000000000000000000e+Inf. seconds.

I'd like to get a Rubik's cube in the future.

Which one? Any one. I haven't had one in my life.

I'm able to solve a Rubik's cube in about 1:30. I'm pretty out of practice though.

Try a minus cube. They are very rare, but...

[Fierce Muffin 490]

It doesn't look entertaining.

Also, I plan on buying the V-Cube set; 5x5x5, 6x6x6, and the 7x7x7. Although, I do not have the money right now.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut apparently, if I get honors, I'll get $50 and for my birthday, $82. This adds up to $132 for the set. Hooray.

Jeez.

Why would you waste so much money on a plastic cube that you turn around to make pretty colours on all the sides?

I probably would too actually.

nerds.

Doesn't really matter to me, I don't spend money on anything else.

Also, Eye of Truth, good one.

Has

*1 x 2x2x2 (Eastsheen) 0:30 something

*3 x 3x3x3 (Rubik's, Rubik's, Indepent company) 0:50

*1 x 4x4x4 (Eastsheen) N/A

*1 x 5x5x5 (Eastsheen) Hell knows, I only got it last week

I can solve all of them, but I can't solve the 4x4x4 with list of parity algorithms.

I don't like Rubiks cubes...too many nerds at my school have them and they think they're cool cause they can do them.

[Oliver 0]

I think you're mad you can't do them.
