So since today is the 40th anniversary of the Rubiks Cube(I think.) I decided to make a thread about them. I'll make it simple. What are your experiences with Rubiks Cubes? Can you solve one? If so, what's your fastest time?

I learned how to solve it just recently actually. My fastest time is 1:12. Working on getting under a minute.

What about you guys?

I've had one and never solved it. I was a lot younger and probably a lot more impatient, lol. I guess if I really set my mind to it I could eventually do it, but to be honest I just can't be bothered and I think the whole craze has come and gone.

Oh boy.... almost as old as I am but not as old enough yet :P When I was a kid age 6 or 7 I wanted one. I got one in the shape of a circle. I used to be very very good at it. My fastest time must have been 10 seconds. I used to break this thing apart and took all cubes out and me and my siblings did this so often the thing felt apart when we even touched it so I only had to puzzle the cubes back without moving it with my hands :lol: I haven't played it for 30 years anymore

You are correct when you say that today marks the 40th anniversary of the Rubik's Cube. Ever since I was in middle school, I was always fascinated by the contraption and before I got my hands of my very own, I would always watch others try to solve the Rubik's Cube as fast as they can and I made sure I knew the tips and secrets of solving it. My fastest time is still at the 1:04 mark and it always irritates me that I still can't solve under a minute. What makes it even more devastating is that I know some people can that can solve the cube in no time at all. All in all, I will always have some of my most fond memories with the Rubik's Cube and now I'll probably buy one just to relieve those moments again! :P

Ya, I can't solve a rubiks cube for the life of me. I've tried many a time, but to absolutely no avail. Haven't tried in some time though, so maybe I should try again soon.

Every single time I'm handed one, I hack away at it for a good 10 minutes before giving up. The best I've been able to do is get 1 face all the same colour, and then I don't want to ruin such a milestone and I stop. :(

I can solve them in a little over a minute. I'll post a video when I get out of school today.

I can solve a Rubik's Cube using the Layer Method from about 45 seconds to 1 min 10 sec. My fastest time is 34 seconds with a lubed up cube.

I really need to learn the CFOP method (also called the Fridrich Method) to get my time under 20 seconds.
