It's all method, you do one side then the top of that edge and then feed down, using a defferant method for each line.

the bottom is a cunt though.

They never actually stopped selling them! I bought one off ebay a couple of years back 'cos I never had one as a kid, and thought it'd be easy....................

It's impossibe!!

If you search on google you can find out ways to work it out, but I couldn't follow 'em!! You can also go to sites that'll tell ya which ways to turn it to solve ya current failure......

I was thinking I wonder if they shuffle it the same way then work out what they need to do to sort it.

That said, they'd look a twat if they made 1 wrong move and then it would all be to cock so they probably do just do them. 7 seconds

I was well into them when they came out. My record was 23 seconds which was done in school assembly with my mate timing me! I would have been about 12 or 13 at the time.

The only time mine was ever complete, was when i got it. never ever got it back. could only ever do one side.

The rubic magic (the rings) i could do that very very quickly. I would love to buy another one of them. much more fun making all the different shapes.
