What do you say when people ask you "How do you solve the rubik's cube?"

[CubesOfTheWorld]

What do you say, when you finish solving a puzzle, and someone asks you, "How do you do that?" I personally can't think of anything to say. They won't understand if I say Cross, F2L, OLL, and PLL. They won't understand if I say the use of "algorithms." What do you say to them?

I'm asian.

 

[spdqbr]

I'm asian.

I say that too. People tend to look at me funny though.

 

[Kian]

I'm asian.

Ditto.

 

[SebCube]

Very Carefully.

 

[MichaelP.]

I say "Diagonal turning."

 

[FatBoyXPC]

I'm the guy that quickly scrambles again and says "Like this." and solve it again.

 

[bigbee99]

i say "I turn it, and match up the stickers"

Get all six colors together

 

[gibsonguitarist55]

i say
i dont know
or
like this and do 1 f2l and then another until its done and theyre like "what" haha

solve 5 faces, and you can skip the last level

I solved it? CRAP! Well I know I just gotta free ticket into Stanford.

But wasn't there already a thread on this?

i accedentally made this thread twice. im having lucas garron remove it

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

With my hands.

 

[Saintlavin]

my mind calculates the amount of turning in order to solve the cube

 

[Haste_cube]

nahh.. the rubik's cube is just solved by itself.. you just need to search the secret button

 

[ElderKingpin]

i go through the steps. very quickly. because i dont want to teach them out


*Show them the cross* Ok see this cross? You do that so you have a reference point, you always start the cube from the same "spot" so it doesnt matter how you scramble it

*Do F2L one pair at a time* Ok see? i am putting these cubies into these slots.

*Show them yellow face* So i would have to solve the top layer first

*Show them last layer* Then i finish this last layer.
