This is a link post Solving the Rubik's Cube.
Ummm..... i HATE to be a "whistle blower" & I don't actually have one of these, but this was just TOO interesting to ignore.

If any ladies or gents DO have one, then please feel free to give it a go.

EDIT:- This one has received a LOT of scepticism.

This is a normal post Please..
It's bollocks.

Note when he starts that the bottom right hand 4 blues are already in position. The moves he's doing *never* affect those four squares. Ergo, it's bollocks..

Cheers

This is a normal post it can't possibbly work from any starting position
the four squares under his right thumb never move.
therefore if the four squares under his right thumb are not all the same colour, the cube can never be solved.

This is a normal post I don't know if this is THE method
but there is definately a method.

At the Derby bash a few weeks ago, Hedgehog from hell did one in about 1 min 30...

And I rememeber years back seeing people on telly solving them behind their back, so there is defiantely a trick to it

This is a normal post It's all about repositioning certain blocks while ensuring that you don't disturb the ones in place for long.
Mrs P bought a keyring one a few weeks back, and I pissed her of by mixing it up one night and then solving it back the next ;)

Not in a minute and a half though!

This is a normal post I used to be able to do cubes
on average under 2 mins. (Fastest was 1.06)

There are lots of methods to it. But the one I used was to first solve one whole layer (which is one face, and all the corners and mids for each of the attached side bits). Then there are a handful of algorithms which will solve the mid layer, and bottom layer, without disturbing what you've already done.

It's been so long, I really can't remember the moves, only the outcomes. I have them written down somewhere.

The really hardcore guys can look at seemingly disparate parts of the cube, and have a short cut up their sleeve which allows them to solve two or three bits at once.

This is a normal post ^ That sounds like the method I used.

Without too much difficulty.

This is a normal post I'd be dubious on this
there are something in the range of 5 x 1019 permutations on a cube. In order for this to work, these moves would have to cycle through all the permutations, eventually landing on the "correct" one. It seems to me more likely that the cube would fall apart before it gets solved. I could be wrong. :)

This is a normal post Not sure what that was all about because I had the sound off
but that does look like nonsense.

Also, it looks like all the stickers have been peeled off and stuck back on at some point, which is a bit sad...
