brag: rubik\'s cube
 

I'm not sure if this is impressive, but I think its cool in a geeky way.

2 weeks ago I got a rubik's cube. I always wanted to get one when I was a kid, but had since forgotten about them. I saw one in a toy store in Japan and had to grab one.

Anyhow, I solved it in a few days, with a significant amount of effort. After the first solve, it became much easier obviously.

So I've been messing with it since, and can now solve it in about 2mins.

But here's the brag:
I just solved it in under 4mins, while 12 tabling 1/2NL stars, without timing out once. (4/12 are fast tables)


ARE YOU IMPRESSED?

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

I mentioned this to some friends tonight at a party, and apparently, even being able to solve the rubik's cube is beyond impressive.

Ship the respek

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

Yah, if you figured out all the algorithms and stuff on your own, then yeah I'm impressed. If you just memorized them off some website or learned them from friends (this is how I learned), then haha no, I'm not impressed.

But yeah, I'm guessing you mean you figured it out on your own... respect.

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

That's not a brag.

This is a brag.

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

That is just sick.... I'm speechless.

(note: he wasn't 12tabling at the time [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

Like 55s here. I dont rlly practice tho

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

while that was impressive...

I thought this was much more impressive...
Took a little more time, but he does it with only one hand

one handed

True dat. The dexterity involved is just insane.

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

I solved the cube when it first came out (yeah - I am THAT old).
My record is 29 seconds. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

i was first able to do it when i was 16... usually takes me like a min. i dont do it anymore except when im out and i see someone messing with it.. its funny peeps are always thinking im some genius or something... which is def not true haha. VN though man. Took me much longer than you before i was able. nh sir.

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

i still havent solved one.. nh sir.

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

is there some sort of secret to those things?

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

I saw some vid of a guy who solved them blindfolded really fast too. I'm sure googling will find it.

When I was little I just took the stickers off and put them all on the same side. That's how a balla solves a rubiks cube.

that doesnt look like real time, although he could just be really good/fast

wait, those were nitring tables? lol, beat!

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

I always figured the people who can do it blindfolded are just starting with the solved cube, just messing it up a little, and then playing the video backwards.

srsly, his hand speed is good but he took like 3-4x as many moves as he needed to.

I kept going through the youtube vids, and damn, I should've looked at some of those before bragging about this. Haha...
But seriously, blindfolded? I get how he did it, but the memory required is mindblowing.

40 seconds avg corner's first method.

beat or brag?

Re: brag: rubik\'s cube
 

verry impressive if u figured it out on your own with how many algorithms there are for it, there are simple patterns to follow that make it easy tho.

Nah, two of my friends can solve them blind folded.
