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.

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..

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.

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

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!

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.

I passed my first ECDL, which means I can use the internet ;)

I seem to have broken this one by banging my head on it.

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. :)

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...

and do the reverse of those moves for a while...
