Does anyone know how to solve them?
Recently, I found out that there are two different ways to do it! But I'm only good at the one I originally learned. I can solve in 45 seconds (approximately). How fast can you solve them?

I can't solve them. There was a rubik's cube club at my highschool that claimed they would teach anyone who joined how to solve it. They spent the first few weeks stressing the importance of things like oiling the cube and moving it one-handed though. I gave up on them after about a month though and never really learned anything from them.

Yep, I solve them all the time. I can't do them in 45 seconds though. Holy crap you are good.

@Glut - That's really stupid. They should have taught you how to do it before teaching how to speed it up :P But really anyone can do it, you just have to learn the algorithms. Its really fun. If you are bored one day just go online at look it up on google or youtube and it doesn't take that long.

@Chococo- Haha he showed me his rubik's cube like a week ago and it had one side done, so you couldn't have done too much to it :P

@Chaze- Well my fastest time is 45 seconds, it usually take me more like a minute- minute and a half. And I basically got lucky on the 45 seconds one because I got to skip an entire algorithm.

And with that word you've made it sound even less interesting than I'd already thought. :?

Would you have preferred the word "pattern" or "step"?

Actually, yes. I would have.

Wow, I can't even get one line on the thing of the same color!
...Wait, What?
