Can you solve the cube on Google? Cause I can't. I can just rotate the cube, but not able to swipe the sides.

Update: Well, it works on IE, but not on Google's Chrome!

It showed my name in the bottom after I solved it. Why didn't it show for you?

current world record for a 3X3X3 cube is 5.55 secs....damn

And, It was set by Matt Valks more than a year ago.

One of my friend gifted me cube. I then googled how to solve it. Now I can solve upto two layers in almost 5mins

third layer algorithm is difficult to remember

Just keep on doing the alg by seeing it. It'll get stored in your muscle memory. You don't need to memorize it.

True. I got used to upto two layers. I also want to learn what algorithms are used to move a particular piece of cube from one position to another. I noticed few steps for very few pieces.

Are you talking about OLL and PLL? If yes, It's not the right time to learn them. Better get some successful solves with Beginners Method.

 

[TheSloth]

I have no idea about what you are talking. Very new to this.
OK, I'll try to solve completely with basic method.

If we dismantle the Cube and reassemble it again but in random order will it be still solvable?

No. You end up dismantling it again.

If the random state complies the cube laws, then yes. Otherwise no.

BUMP!
I had a one-month break from cubing. So, I thought I would do some solves. Did an AO12 yesterday. Nothing great.

Did some 20 solves today and I broke my PB MO3, AO5 and AO12.

[MENTION=2132]RCuber[/MENTION] [MENTION=138367]lightningfassst[/MENTION] [MENTION=34930]Zangetsu[/MENTION] What do you guys average now?

 

[RCuber]

[MENTION=129731]Shah[/MENTION] , I fractured both my wrists, still undergoing physiotherapy I don't think I will be able to get back to my old times again.

 

[TheSloth]

[MENTION=2132]RCuber[/MENTION]: Get well soon. [MENTION=129731]Shah[/MENTION]: I am not practicing nowadays. I can only solve upto 2layers. For 3rd layer I have to refer to .pdf file
