For any of you that didn't know, I'm a "cubist" or "speedcuber", meaning I can solve Rubik's Cubes really fast. It's been one of my hobbies for about 3 years now. I finally made a video of it so you guys could see me! Here is the video. Enjoy! By the way, that isn't my fastest, my record is 53.27 seconds.

Yeah, crazy fast! If you need codecs fellas, install FFDshow codec pack. Very nice pack that'll drop many popular video/audio/sub codecs onto your rig. You can grab a copy from [HERE].

I'd just peel off the stickers and then glue them back on, each side having one color. Worked fine for me.

I am also a speed cubist. I own a 3X3, a 4X4, and a 5X5. my records are 40 seconds, 8 minutes and 23 seconds, and 33 minutes and 10 seconds. I was taught about 6 years ago. I bought a 4X4 recently, read the directions on how to solve it, and the 5X5 I figured out by myself. It's fun doing talent shows and showing off. The only problem is that my cubes wear down and I can't see the colors anymore so I end up buying new ones all the time. Lame.
P.S. Barrett is still doing great in the Dominican Republic for all who know him.

S**T THAT WAS FAST! That is amazing korkow. I can't even do one of those things in one hour and thirteen minutes...but that's given that I could even concentrate on it for 1:13, which is highly unlikely. And even more unlikely that i wouldn't throw into thee fireplace in rage :) .

wow blah blah, that's really fast. 40 seconds is unbelievable. how did you get that fast? i imagine that the difference from 53 seconds to 40 seconds is quite large since it's basically taking 25% off the time. anyways, cheers!

Yup B is doing well, especially with a small donation I've made to him :). He well deserves it though.

XX, whatever you do... don't even THINK of trying that on a 5x5x5. By the way, i borrowed a 5x5x5 from a friend yester day. My time: 7 hours ;p.
