Snowboarder, Boingo, very nice work. While I don't consider myself to be a complete dumbass, Rubick's Cube always made me feel like one. It's only a matter of turning sides for say five minutes before I determine that the thing is obviously impossible and move on to better (read: simpler ) things.

However, it does make me feel a little better to hear that you are solving them just based on memorization. I thought there was just something I wasn't seeing with the dots' layout, like maybe looking at a complicated chess board and seeing moves way before they even happen.

Its just a matter of doing a certain move for different situations. So far my fastest time is 2 minutes, i feel thats darn good for learning 2 days ago. i thought i would get sick of solving it after a while but it still satisfies my geek hunger.

That is DARNED fast for two days ago..say, what part of Utah are you in? Up north I bet. Just wait until you try the Rubik's Revenge 4x4x4 , it requires two new moves to solve...

To JD, don't feel dumb, I could never solve the cube until last October my cousin taught me the 'secret moves...the best easy-to-learn site I have found on the internet is here
if you're interested in learning. Most of the other sites out there have algorithms, algorithms, and more algorithms, with no pics.

It always killed me that kids that were way dumber than me could solve the cube and I couldn't, ya know?

GUESS WHAT???
I was at the sons friends house today picking him up....and they had one.
I asked to borrow it for the weekend...and guess what
I STILL CANT GET A SIDE ON THE BASTARD THING
