Hi, my son bought me a rubik for my birthday, I didnt get a look in, he solved it in a few hours, but he does have a real good memory. Yes, its all about sequences, he went on google and looked it up, alot of the sites are very confusing. There are lots of different ways to do it too, some start with getting correct corners first, some start with full top colour first. Stick to one or you will get totally confused. Also, he just bought off Ebay, 3 more Rubiks; two sided, four sided, five sided. He has learnt how to do the 2 and 4 sided too Good Luck xx

Answer 3

I can solve it! You start by making up 4 blocks on a corner, 2 more, so that you have two rows complete but with the end columns left to solve.

Then, you need to solve the remaining rows by keeping the squares in groups of two, but moving them around the 4 blocks on a corner......

Too complicated to explain, it needs someone to actually show you. But it is solveable.

Answer 4

There's no mystery.There's a set formula for completing each side and anyone with a decent memory can do it.The one's that do it in a matter of seconds have devoted a little more time to perfecting their craft.Good fun though.

Answer 5

I kinda have a very old one that you could break and than put back together. So whenever I am completley baffeled, I just take out all of the peices and put it back together again. (I know that this probably didn't help, but that's what I do with mine!)

Answer 6

Lets say:
F (Front): the side currently facing you
B (Back): the side opposite the front
U (Up): the side above or on top of the front side
D (Down): the side opposite the top, underneath the cube
L (Left): the side directly to the left of the front
R (Right): the side directly to the right of the front
x (rotate): rotate the cube up
y (rotate): rotate the cube to the left
z (rotate): rotate the cube on its side to the right
Now:
Turn the Front face 180 degrees
Turn the Up face 90 degrees counterclockwise
Turn the Right face 90 degrees counterclockwise
Turn the Left face 90 degrees clockwise
Turn the Front face 180 degrees
Turn the Right face 90 degrees clockwise
Turn the Left face 90 degrees counterclockwise
Turn the Up face 90 degrees counterclockwise
Finally, turn the front face 180 degrees.
