This is way cooler than that cup-stacking thing kids're doin these days.

I can solve one in 50 secondish, if I'm a bit lucky. I can't for the life of me see how this is possible. I always hesitate slightly when trying to recognize the last layer,and which corners are right and wrong, which is holding me back. Perhaps, with some intenste training , I might be able to push my time down to 30 seconds or so, but under 7 seconds? thats insane..

Adding video to channels (Geek) - requested by ant.

I'm still working on my first one. It's been 27 years.

Don't feel bad, so has Abe Sapien. He has only completed two sides as well.

Yet another candidate for my imaginary *getalife channel.

Meanwhile this kid is like HOWWWW DO I PUT BUTTTTER ON TOASTT?????

Sure to get him laid.... and it will last 6.24 seconds.

6.24 seconds in heaven is better than 6.0 seconds in heaven.

You're green with envy, just like that side of the Rubik's cube that you could never solve.

EEehhhhhhhh???

He didn't SOLVE it in 6 seconds.. he looked at all sides of it for 6 seconds, formulated the pattern to rotate it, and then took 6 seconds for the act of rotating the sides to match..

MEAN while there was no standered of determining if the number of rotations was consistent. Speed records only work on level playing grounds, but if there is no guarantee that one cube uses the same amount of turns as another, you don't have a fair playing ground.

With hands like that, who needs sex? =D

In competitions, cubes are usually mixed with random patterns to ensure maximum mixing. I'm not sure about the rules for the so-called inspection time, but as far as I know, Its far more timeconsuming and difficult, if not impossible for a human, to see the solution during inspection. you can plan a couple of moves, but the majority is made up as you go. A typical speed-solving is maybe around 30-50 moves. there are also "fewest moves" competitions, and I believe the world record is something like 22 moves.

@papple - My Rubik's cube is all one color and I still can't solve it.
