Solving a Rubik's Cube
A friend of mine once said there are two kinds of people in the world: those who can solve a Rubik's Cube and those who can't. I fall into the second category, at least when I'm honest. (My friends caught on pretty quickly when they noticed that, whenever I "solved" a Rubik's Cube, half the stickers were crooked and the other half were peeling back at the corners.)
Now cup-stacking is something I can wrap my mind around. It's not that I'm good – it's just that I can complete, albeit slowly, the basic challenges of the game. The fascinating thing about the Rubik's competition in Monday's show is how quickly the competitors were able to solve the puzzles, when so many folks (ahem) don't solve them to begin with. I'd be curious to see how many of you have figured them out and what kinds of skills you think that takes.

I know many people who can solve the cube,they're carzy about it! I never solve it,I'm not even sure where is my cube now...and...I think it was invented to teach architecture.
The Rubik's cube is quite a fascinating puzzle to solve. Of course like Carl Azuz said, there are those who can do it and there are those who just can not. I have the luck to be one of those who can solve the cube and although it may seem crazy, I practiced solving this puzzle when I was a little bit younger. I remember I would try to solve a cube almost every week. However, after a certain period of time I just got too good at it and it was not fun at all. I am quite mad that I never entered any Rubik's cube competition because I know that I could have dominated the competition and make fools out of whoever tried to challenge and beat me. My fastest time was around 1 minute and 26 seconds. If you think thats cool, then consider me Miles Davis. I love the cube and I wish everybody in the world could have half the fun that I did by trying to solve it.
Peace out!
the only skill it takes to solve a rubic's cube is your ability to peel off stickers and place all the colors on the same side. thats the only skill that takes to solve a rubics cube. there impossible and people who solve them cheat because theres no way to solve them without cheating.
I made another skill it takes to solve a rubic's cube that you are able to do is disassemble it and reconstruct to prefer color itself one by one. you may peel off stickers, the cube is going to be tattered.
Rubik's cubes are really hard, how so those people solve them, I've been trying to solve it for a year and i just cant do it, is there some kind of trick to solving it without cheating. Someone told me that there was, and if anyone knows what it is please tell me I HAVE TO KNOW!!!
By golly, all these youngins saying that you cant solve a Rubik’s cube. Ill tell ya what, back in my day, 1805, I solved Rubik’s cubes everyday in two minutes. It just takes some intellectual skill, something that is lacking in today's world. You all need to figure out how to use your noodle. Just peel off the stickers yo. It's an easy task. That is how you solve the Rubik’s cube. Find yourself a quiet place and peel them stickers off faster than everyone else and you will be the man. Just remember these few fun facts about solving a Rubik’s cube. Ok I'm going back to my grave now. Adios muchachos.
By the year 2010, hopefully Ill still be around, Rubiks Cube competition will be aired on ESPN. Rubik cube competition is a legitimate sport just like baseball, soccer, hockey, and even golf. i mean if golf is showed on ESPN then why cant the rubik cube competition? there just about the same. in rubik cube, all you need to be in mentally strong and have to have great technique. just like tiger woods. im considered the tiger woods, roger federer, alex rodriguz, and barry bonds of rubiks cube. im the best there is. plain and simple. rubiks cube is a real sport and should be taken seriously and it shouldnt be taken lightely. we are real professionals just like all those other guys. ultimately, solving the rubiks cube in competition, is the toughest thing to do. give it at most 5 years and rubiks cube competition will take this world by storm!

I can work the rubiks revolution really well but it takes me at least fifteen minutes to solve a regular one. I can solve them easily but to me the only trick is to not memorize and line up the colors.
