Hi all, someone at work just gave me a Rubik's Shell which was very nice of them. He told me that there are buttons and it changes the way the puzzle works if they are pressed. I scrambled it and decided to try and press a button but after reading about them I read somewhere that once you...

I just realised it's been exactly 1 year to the date since I solved the cube for the first time. I can't believe it's been so long. It wasn't long after learning to solve it that I came here for help and advice and I'm so glad I did. I certainly would not have improved or more importantly...

Joey Gouly !! Happy Birthday mate, hope you have a good one. Here's a cake just for you >

This is just the solve part from the beginning I was quite drunk, memo took a while partly due to the alcohol and fear of getting it wrong. I didn't even know I was being videoed, the quality is pretty bad too. And yes, I'm bald.

Today I got my White V-Cube set, I'm pleased as they only took about 6 days to arrive, but when I looked at the V6 the box was full of pieces and one of the middle layers was turned at a 45 degree angle. :( I took some pictures > I'm quite disappointed, but I understand that it's...

Does anyone have this iconic dexterity game from Tomy? http://www.liveandlearn.com/games/screwballscramble.html If you've never heard of it, you're either too young or was living in a cave in the 80s. In some countries it was called "Snafu: The Maze Game Thats Runs You Ragged" I was nosying...

I saw these in the shop today and had to buy them. Thought I'd share with you. I tried to match the scramble but it has a wierd white/blue/red corner.

I want to try and get some Multi BLD successes but I'm not sure the best way to go about it. For normal BLD solving I currently use classic pochmann for corners and M2 for edges. Memo is visual/tapping for corners and letter pair images for edges. My best single BLD time is 4:08...

Not only is this my first cubing video, it's also the first video I've ever uploaded to youtube. Sorry if the quality isn't great, I used my mobile phone. please comment.

I was searching for something different and stumbled across this > According to Britain's Sir Fred Hoyle: The human cell has some 200,000 proteins, and that the smallest of these would require the same time to accidentally form as it takes the blindfolded person to solve the Rubik's cube...

I was reading the Metro today (free newspaper on public transport) and found this > it reads as below > The Petaminx will break your brain If you're one of those people who spends hours staring dumbly at a Rubik's cube, blindly twisting it one way and the other before giving up and weeping...

My new cubes came in the post the other day, I got a Rubik's Mirror Blocks cube from hobby_japan on ebay and I also got an Eastsheen 2x2x2 and an Eastsheen 5x5x5 free from cubelagoon. I love the Mirror Blocks cube it's so fun to solve, my best time at the moment is 2:20, I'm getting more used...

I want to learn how to do this and was wondering if people would share which methods they use to do it. The easiest way I can see to do it is using classic pochmann blindfold method for the whole cube. I've tried doing LBL but I can do pochmann faster but it still takes like 3 minutes to do.

Just noticed these on cubesmith.com > http://www.cubesmith.com/ShadeshiftingFAQ.htm here's a video > http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=JP&hl=ja&v=RTJzF8CX1sw&feature=channel_page If anyone gets these, post some pics or a video.

I participated in a freeze flashmob yesterday in the city centre, here's a video someone took > I spotted my cousin in the black and red hat at 1:28, and you can just see the back of my balding head at 2:20 here's another one Xxr4YjQCX78&NR=1

I got a rubik's snake for christmas and had it for a few weeks before I realised people were speedsolving them by making it from a line into a ball. I tried it myself and after a couple of days was getting sub-10 seconds, now I normally get 5s or 6s averages. My best time is 5.15 I was just...

I'm hoping to go to a competition later this year for the first time and I'm interested to know about other cubers first competitions. I would like to know things like when it was, what competition, how long had you been cubing, what did you compete in, what times did you get, how nervous were...

I was bored yesterday and thought I'd try something that AvG and others mentioned in another thread which is solving the 3x3x3 using only the T perm and set up moves. It's really just classic Pochmann with only 1 algorithm and of course you do it sighted. I did an average of 5 and will put the...

Every time my little brother came to visit he always wanted to play with the cube, so I decided to get him one for Christmas. Just a normal storebought which I got from Argos (same as where I bought mine) So he opens it and after a while I have a go. He hands it to me and I immediately notice...
