Maybe not a game...
 

This might not be a game, but does anybody else here play around with rubik's cubes? Personally, I don't just play around with them. I'm ADDICTED to them. For example, about 10 minutes ago I finished doing an average of 100 solves on my 2x2 rubik's cube. My average of 100 on that was 10.14 seconds. I also got a new record on the 2x2, of 2.42 seconds. :psmiley27: On the 3x3 rubik's cube, my record is 30.14 seconds and my average of 12 is 48.35 seconds. So, anybody else play with rubik's cubes? Maybe this can be a little corner where we discuss them. :piratewheelgo2::dancetl6:

I have three Rubik's Cubes... I have the classic 3x3 one, a 4x4 one and a circular one. I'm rubbish at them though! The only one I can do is the 4x4... but I only shuffle it 2x2. I suppose I should practice. :P

I had one many years (decades lol) ago. I also had the pyramid that was similar to the cube. Then there was that snake type puzzle that twisted into all kinds of shapes.

Ah! I recently got one of those! I'm still discovering new shapes to make. :P

That one you're talking about is the rubik's twist. It goes into many shapes, the object is to put it into a cube. :)

Really? I can only get it into a ball. :P

Lol! That's the easiest shape on it. (except for the straight line! :D) I don't really like it. :p

Sorry for double post.

The Rubik's Twist is also called a Rubik's Snake. :)

I used to be able to do the plain rubik cube, but I forgot one step so I can't do it anymore :(

Today I successfully taught a kid at my school how to solve the rubik's cube. :) He is quite excited. Took two hours. :O :)

Im still on the look out for a rubiks revenge! You should tell me some of the short-cut algorithms that solve the 4x4 faster instead of using the original 8 steps.... ;)

I still can't solve it. :) MeMyselfandPi has a good tutorial for advanced people on youtube, look him up. :)

Bump... Double post.. Sorry.

New record on the 3x3... You ready? No. You aren't. Yes. You are. 13.69 seconds. Im not even ready. Call a doctor! My fingers hurt.

*bump*.... Triple post O_o Sorry.

Nationals 2012 at the Riviera Hotel in Vegas. Hope to be going! :)

I don't really need to say bump or quadruple post, do I?

I went to my first competition yesterday and I got first! :O Make this thread more active, eh?

I got a new pc yesterday and that is not a game is it mates

It may not be a console game, but a game is a game, whether in real life or not, no?

I look at it this way -

People who play video games 24/7 think of it as a way of life.

People who 'cube' 24/7 think of video games as a hobby.

People who play video games 24/7 think of 'cubing' as a hobby.

Cubing, to me, is a way of life. ;)

Alas, we all play the 'game' of Life. :pirate2:

*Goes to pull out The Game of Life set* Wait - never mind..... :xxxk0:

Wow,grats.I am pathetic at Rubik's cube.

My new PB is 6.xx seconds. (xx meaning idk to the digit, I forgot)

EDIT: PB mean personal best.

I just stink at rubies cube! I don't know how to do them! Anybody know an easy way to do them? If you do, please PM me.


Thanks.

Well... If you want to get good, don't start with an easy one. I started with pogobat's tutorial on youtube. His method, honestly, sucks. I've got a lot of his methods for different sections of the cube etched into my brain, so sometimes I'll switch to that during a speedsolve. If you want to learn a lot about it, just search on youtube. I will send you some links to good tutorials and a link to a forum about rubik's cubes.
