any tips of solving rubik's cube?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i heard that there's some procedure which is there in net

OpenStudy (aravindg):

its a bit difficult though

OpenStudy (aravindg):

my friend has mastered it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the record is 5.28 seconds, my friend told me.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

fridrich f2l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

f2l is cross first, then 2nd layer, OLL, and PLL

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

But, although fridrich's method is the fastest, she doesn't give the best algs on her guide,

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

It's also known as CFOP.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

You'll want to learn f2l, then move on to advanced f2l while memorizing PLLs, then OLLs. http://www.cubefreak.net/speed/advancedf2l/normal.php

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

@FoolForMath derived a formula as i recall

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are simple algorithms for solving it. I can come up with my own:)

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

i learnt from youtube,,you might too..took me around 2 days to master it.. now my record is 1:55 mins..i know its too much but the quality of my cube is also not vey good..

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

my method was peel the coloured stickers off .... very easy method 2 master

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i used to do that too

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

why peel of stickers? you can also break the cube and then re-arrange it ;)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i couldn't get it back together properly, some of the pieces got damaged

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

i thought the sticker method was more temporary than this one..hmmn..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Smash it and put it back together?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Thsoe methods are slower than my time of 35 seconds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Want to race? @inkyvoyd

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

My cube is a hard to turn, if i apply wd40 , goog or bad/

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

@UnkleRhaukus BAD

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

ANYTHING PETROLUEM BASED IS BAD.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

You'll want something silicone and petroluem; the ptero dries out, whilethe silicon does hte lube job.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

o dear too late!

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

GET IT OFF.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

it is sliding pretty good

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

how?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Tissues. Idk. As much off as you can.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

the WD40 will melt your cube over time.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

its all over my fingers tooo

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

which could be good or bad, but it's usually bad.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

do you know how to take apart the cube?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i better solve it quickly then

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

do i really want to do that i broke the last one i had pulling it apart, the Cube i have at the moment is a little one

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

A LITTLE ONE?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

The thing is going to fall APART!.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

It'll melt down to a plastic/wd40

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

and the cube's peices will sort of get loose and fall out.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

its about 3cm^3 if you reckon it will die if i dont pull it apart, how do i procede ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i mean it is 3cmx3cmx3cm=9cm^3

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Let it die (27cm actually)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ah yes multiplication , it just keep growing

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

how log approximately do i have to solve before it self destructs?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

I'm not sure. It might not even break, depending on how much you put in there. It will definitely get looser though.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

its sliding like a charm now , except the bits still are not moving into the right places
