Well, I thought to do something a little different. I’ve seen lots of videos on YouTube of people solving the Rubik’s cube. Some are definite speedsolvers with insane times of 20 seconds or less. Others are just hobbyists. I wanted to start making more videos, maybe even video blog-like entries, so I figured that this may be the best way to start. Enjoy!

Also, here’s some YouTube links to some of my favorite related videos; these blew my mind!

25.49 seconds speedsolve (impressive!)
Approximately a 14 second speedsolve (most impressive)
4×4 solve… not fast, but I like the music in the background!
2′49″ Speedsolve of a 5×5
Someone solving a 10×10 (OMG!)
Someone solving a 20×20 (WTF!!?)

I like these particular videos because they demonstrate what is probably the best way to solve these various cubes that are over 3×3. It involves solving the cube to where it acts like a regular 3×3. There are faster techniques, to be sure, but it involves learning some complicated and convoluted algorithims and those can be more trouble than they’re worth.

Enjoy!
