So, how fast can you finish a Rubik's Cube? I've been playing it for a few months, and I can't seem to finish it faster than 6 minutes. I've read that the world record is a merely 7 seconds (average 11 seconds)!!!

In 3 x 3 cubic I can finished it about 2 to 4 minutes in full scrambled or shuffled or mixed cubic..... I use algorithms that I learn in youtube tutorials.... You have to practice and memorized the algorithms.... I have no ideas how others finished in 7 secs or less than a minute.... I think it depends how the cube have mixed it....

The current world record holder (at 7 seconds) apparently has about 70 algorithms to finish the cube. And I thought it was already hard enough to memorize the 7 basic algorithms! :D

The algorithms I memorized will get up to 8.... But sometimes its like magic you won't needing the last final algo or even the 7th.... The algorithms I'm using is the top cross or the four sides first.... Actually its about 1 to 2 weeks I memorized.... hmmmm like after awaken in the morning, when i'm in front the computer and with there's a free space of time.... The first week of it I choose my favorite colors then as days goes buy anything colors that I wished for.... lol the cubic have given up from wear and tear but i don't give-up, but I really sorry for the cubic after a long time of making those twists and turns you can smell the cubic like a burning plastic so better use with a metal frame and the color are not just pasted....

hmm..im guess an infinity of minutes for me to finish a rubik's cube! LOL being that i have never been able to get more than 3 sides finished in the first place! the thing drives me nuts and i can only sit and make the attempt for perhaps 5 minutes at a time before i start getting so damn frustrated that the thing is in dangerously violent territory with destruction imminent! lol..i have no patience...and the rubik's cube REALLY proves that!
