The best I was able to achieve on a rubiks cube was completing three sides, my dad laid down a challenge for me he would give me £1 for one side completed, £3 for 3 sides and £10 if I completed it, I never could, and to this day I have never been able to do it! One sneaky trick is to take all the stickers off and put them back as though they are done, but that is incredibly sneaky don't you think! There was a book about how to complete it, but I never followed it, I saw that as cheating, oh well, guess I wasn't smart enough.

I have never been able to solve this cube (unless you count taking the stickers off - lol)! It is impossible for me!

There are tricks to it. I seen it on youtube but do not understand it. I tried solving a rubik's cube but I failed everytime.

Yes, there are strategies you can follow. I believe the one that came with the cube when you purchased it has that strategy guide or something. I never completed that though since am not patient but my brother and boyfriend had! haha

I used to be able to do a Rubiks cube also but I could only do a few sides of it. I never did figure out how to do the whole thing. It was hard. I don't even know if i could do one side of it now. Here is a tip or trick LOL. Take the sticker off of the middle, loosen the screw and remove it to change the cubes around, LOL. someone did that before when I was younger and put the cube fully back together with all matching sides.

I personally have never been able to complete one. My boyfriend on the other hand, must be some kind of genius, because he can! It doesn't take him very long either, he just picks it up, looks at it for a little bit and then goes to work, minutes later it's solved. I usually wouldn't give him credit for being a 'genius' as he claims that he is, but when it comes to a Rubik's cube, or even Sodoku, I completely agree with him. He's definitly the smarts in the relationship.
