Rubiks Cube

[YinYin]

i never truly went for speedcubing
cant be bothered remembering so many special algorithms just for a few states it can be in
but with the things i figured myself i get around 1 minute

i do however own quite a lot of puzzles :D

original rubix cube (from ukraine, 4 years ago i just decided to solve it and figured it during a day with the help of the booklet for the positioning on the last layer - then practiced during a 24h flight memorizing everything i needed so i would be able to solve it again anytime)
several other rubik variations (gold/small/2x2/octahedron)
square1
void cube
revenge
master
vcube6
vcube7
pyraminx crystal (latest addition, 17 days to figure out how to solve it)

planning to make a video on the void cube as ive put some special stickers onto it giving it a lil twist

edit: i dont know whether ill try to beat your time - dont really feel like it :p

Rubiks..... that evokes some of my earliest child-memories :P

Got one when I was 4, 5, or something like that. Back then, I had my fun in creating colorful patterns. When my dad told me what its actual purpose is, I tried solving it. With no success. lol.

By now, it has gotten rusty -- it serves more as a training-tool for your hand-musculature than anything else. Or, in other words, it's extremely hard to shift things around. Meh, makes me want to try myself at it again :P

take it apart
clean it
lube it
put it back together

edit: im more into creating colorful patterns aswell hehe - but i like them symmetric

and of course everyone knows what that means.

It is Cube Notation for a Pattern.
If you have a solved Cube:
Turn the right one 2 times
turn the left one 2 times
and so on

When i was 8 one of my fathers friends (who loved rubix) gave one to me and said that if i can solve this he gave me 10 bucks. a couple of years after i found out that he had moved the colors....
BTW i have a pyraminx

[Silverthorn]

take it apart
clean it
lube it
put it back together

I know I have put the lube somewhere but I can't find it. Argh!
