I finally solved my rubik's cube!

But I used an online solver program...





Shame on me...

People still use those!

Congrats, regardless.

I peeled the stickers off mine and put them in the right spots.

I found my old rubik's cube before I moved out of my folk's house. I looked at it for a while and then chucked it into the street.

Then someone got me this Homer Simpson rubik's cube. I hated that thing even more than the original, so my friend and I broke it with a pickaxe.

When ever I see one, I switch some stickers around, to make it unsolvable.

"Listen, I'm not much of a problem solver. Three decades... and I've only completed two sides."

All I did was disassemble mine and put the squares into place. XD

It's not a matter of solving a Rubik's Cube outright....but rather how FAST you can solve it.

Re: I finally solved my rubik's cube!

I've never owned one.

Well I'm packing to go to canada after school, but I can do it when I get off easter break. We learned the math behind it when I went to Governor's School this summer for Mathematics. It's pretty much just group theory. In fact we can theoretically solve a rubiks cube of any size, just takes a pen, paper, and quite a bit of time.

A little strategy helps. People think you solve for the sides, this isn't true, you solve for the layers. On the bottom layer you get your cross, then corners. then your bottom layer will be done with all the middle pieces of your second layers. Then you get the sides of your middle layer, then your X on the top layer and finally your corners on the top. You also have to memorize some steps and understand rubiks step notation.
