I Need Help Solving my Rubik's Cube
I got a Rubik's Cube for Christmas and I mixed it all up and now I can't restore to it's natural state. Does anyone have any suggestions or hints on how to solve this impossible puzzle? :help:

Just give up and kill yourself while you still can.

There's a voice command that reset's it to the default settings. Say "**** this is hard" and it will reset to factory defaults.

I got one side of it but was afraid I'd mess it up trying to solve the rest so I just left it.

Re: I Need Help Solving my Rubik's Cube
There's a computer program that can solve any rubiks cube, but I don't know if it's available online

No! You're evil!
Last summer, my computer room got flooded, and I was stuck in my bedroom all day long. So what did I do? Rubik's Cube, about 100 times. Did it once in 2 minutes. But boot camp has taken away my skill. I can probably get it again, just need to remember the patterns. In the mean time, this is what you're trying to do. I wrote it long ago for another forum, give a guy a hint how to do it. Gekko's guide to the cube: 1) Pick a side to start with, I choose white. Make a cross on top, and make sure the colors are on the correct sides. ![]() 2) Put the corners in place to finish the top layer ![]() 3) Place the edge pieces in place for the middle layer (center pieces can't be moved). Move the piece from the center position on the bottom later, to either side on the middle layer. Then the middle layer is complete. 4) Get the bottom corners in the correct spot, but the colors don't need to match up. The movement will switch the corners on the front face. 5) Get the colors in the corners to match up. The movement will move 3 corners at a time. Conclusion? Do it until only one corner is right, then keep flipping the other 3, and they will line up. then all you're left with is the edge pieces on the bottom layer. ![]() 6) For the remaining edge pieces, there is one movement that will move 3 out of the 4 of them. Get them all to their respective sides and you are left with 4 possibilities. The cube is complete, the two incorrect (color doesn't match side) pieces are next to each other, or directly across from each other, or all 4 are incorrect. Since I don't know the pattern to complete it when they are next to each other, I keep moving it around until they are across from each other. If all 4 are incorrect, it's the same pattern, you just do it twice. In other words, I go from this: ![]() To this: ![]() Ta da! It is complete! Now, if you wait a little bit, when I got some free time, I can go find the patterns for you for each movement. But in the mean time, good luck. |

LoL. I got a rubiks cube for christmas last year, and I still havnt solved it. Good luck, man. :) Oh, and now that Gekko has given all those cool hints, its time to go get my cube back out! |
Re: I Need Help Solving my Rubik's Cube
Theres a guy who can do it blind folded if he just looks at it before he puts the blindfold on in like 2 minutes flat... :unsure: Scary if you ask me
Me on the other hand.. ive only tried one of those once and gave up after like half an hour |
Re: I Need Help Solving my Rubik's Cube
i got one last year and i think i almost had it done...then my sister took itand i haven't seen it since

Re: I Need Help Solving my Rubik's Cube
Ok assholes, I just broke my cube, and now I'm not positive how to get it all back together. But I'll type this as I go.
If you want to figure out how to do the cube on your own, use what I said before, figure it out. There's different ways to do it, but unless you can see like 6 moves ahead, don't bother trying to learn them. This metheod was completely figured out and memorized by me in a couple days. Now, go ahead and write everything down, but you have no talent unless you can do any cube quickly, and easily, without references. So if you want to be one of the few people who can actually make the damn thing, memorizing these patterns is the trick. My suggestion is actually look at where the pieces are moving, get an idea of what is going on. And I'm typing it in the simplest manner, but not the most easy to memorize. For example, look at this pattern: Center Bottom, to Left Edge Front/Right, Bottom/Left, Front/Right, Bottom/Half, Front/Right, Bottom/Half, Front/Half (1), Bottom/Half, Front/Right, Bottom/Left, Front/Left It means turn the front face right once, etc. How easy is it to memorize? It's not, really, but look at it this way. After the Front/Half twist, marked with (1), everything is back into place with one corner out of place. Well you already know how to move the corner into position, because you need it to get this far, so everything after that, you don't need to remember. Now look at the half twists, instead of Bottom/Half, you think Bottom/Left, Bottom/Left, and Front/Right, Front/Right, then there are only two twists you do in this entire movement. Front/Right, and Bottom/Left. Then you soon figure out this is the easiest pattern to memorize. Ok, now to the solution to any Rubik's cube: Quote:

Center Bottom, to Left Edge Front/Right, Bottom/Left, Front/Right, Bottom/Half, Front/Right, Bottom/Half, Front/Half (1), Bottom/Half, Front/Right, Bottom/Left, Front/Left Center Bottom to Right Edge (same damn thing, flip Left and rights) Front/Left, Bottom/Right, Front/Left, Bottom/Half, Front/Left, Bottom/Half, Front/Half (1), Bottom/Half, Front/Left, Bottom/Right, Front/Left Quote:
Corner Swap (two bottom corner pieces of the front face will be swapped) Right/Down, Bottom/Left, Right/Up, Front/Right, Bottom/Right, Front/Left, Right/Down, Bottom/Right, Right/Up, Bottom/Half Quote:
Right/Down, Bottom/Left, Right/Up, Bottom/Left, Right/Down, Bottom/Half, Right/Up, Bottom/Half Quote:
Look at the bottom of you cube, if you started with white on top, it will now be blue. Now you have your 4 edge pieces which make a cross, forget about the top one, that will be your front face, and will stay. Then from left to right, number 1, 2, and 3. So it would be like this: X X X 1 X 3 X 2 X When 1 and 2 move, they will always flip colors, 3 never will. In other words, when you move left, 1 will move to 2, and flip colors. 2 will move to 3 and flip colors. 3 will move to 1, colors stay the same. Going right, 1 will move to 3 and flip colors, 2 will move to 1 and flip colors, and 3 will move to 2 and keep the same colors. Confused yet? Do it, you'll understand. And now that you're lost, what you're shooting for here is for the two pieces with the incorrect colors to be across from each other (making an H with the correct colors). If all 4 pieces are correct, stop. If all 4 are incorrect, you'll be fine, just need to do the H pattern twice. Move Edges Left (Counter-Clockwise) Left/Up, Right/ Up, Front/Left, Left/Down, Right/Down, Bottom/Half, Left/Up, Right/Up, Front/Left, Left/Down, Right/Down Move Edges Right (Clockwise) Front/Right, Left/Down, Back/Right, Left/Up, Back/Left, Front/Left, Bottom/Right, Back/Left, Bottom/Left, Back/Right Now, once you get the H, set this up correctly, or it will flip the wrong two blocks, and you'll be doing this pattern all day to fix it. The H needs to be the top layer of the cube, and the two incorrect pieces need to be on the left and right sides (as I'm holding it in the picture, green or yellow would be the front face, with blue on top). And this adds the first turning of the middle layer. Do not get all screwed up by that. Just leave the top and bottom alone, and turn the middle later. If you screw up now, you're starting over. H Pattern Right/Down, Middle/Left, Right/Half, Middle/Half, Right/Down, Top/Half, Right/Up, Middle/Half, Right/Half, Middle/Right, Right/Up, Top/Half And congrats, you just did it, with my help. |
Re: I Need Help Solving my Rubik's Cube
Good old Rubik's Cube. I got one about 5 years ago. The fastest I've solved it is 5 minutes. I've never used any guide either, cuz guides are for wimps.
One time I gave it to a friend so he could try it out. The d!ck takes off all the stickers and puts them on right. I just about punched him in the face. And once someone takes off the stickers, they just don't go back on right. So I took off all the stickers and put on nail polish so that dick's can't take off the stickers anymore. I also lubed it up really good so that it moves ultrasmooth. I've tried to teach friends over the internet before and it's really really hard. It's still hard when you're teaching them and they're right beside you. One of my friends can do it in 1 minute and 8 seconds. The fastest it's ever been done is 15 seconds I believe, which was done at osme international competition. |
