    You also wouldnt know where you started. There is no way to determine anything about the cube if you cant see it.

    Its like playing ddr blindfolded on a new song.

      don't most people inspect the cube before solving it blindfolded... ?

        yes, if you go to youtube and type in blindfolded rubiks cube and watch different videos, EVERY person takes time to analyze the cube. if they dont, it just seems they looked at it before the started the camera

              i said "don't most people inspect the cube before solving it blindfolded... ?" in sarcasm to izzi's post (i'm a rubik's cuber but i'm not amazing like some of the people here seem to be)

                XXX
                XXX
                XXX

                Anywhere else on the Rubik's cube, with respect to the direction the face up there is facing, you'll never see another red square at that same location. So if you saw two red squares at the top right corner then the cube is impossible to solve. It's definitely not some diminutive thing that'll go by unnoticed by a "pro."

                  Bump for great justice....

                  I just started messing with this thing again, and by using the F2L method, I can get the cube setup for the last layer to be finished in about 5mins, but from there I usually end up messing it up and having to start over.

                  Does anyone have any advice? >.>

                    Figure an algorithm yourself? It's what I did.

                      Buy a rubiks cube booklet on how to solve it to get times around 2 minutes, if ou want sub minute times, go to Chris Hardwicks website about rubikes cubes. It has everything you need to know

                      Just go to google and type chris hardwick

                          I don't really bother anymore about the Rubik's Cubes, I tried to finish one, I left it, and my record is 2 years. (Yet, still to be solved)
                          Yep.

                            My record time sucks, 1 min and 50 seconds...
                            any1 know how to finish one faster because i never could get faster...
                            well, it's actually not my fault considering mine got stolen...

                                I can solve 1 whole side!
                                But I can't even come close to solving the others.
                                I think there's people that "teach you" how to solve it on youtube.
