Very cool. Is that a hobby of yours or just something you learnt to do randomly? I'm inspired!

I don't think I've ever solved one, despite looking at algorithms on the internet. Can't say I've ever dismantled one either, I always give them a go without cheating but always get beaten by them so give up.

Thanks

We started learning it a bit at school in maths A-level to do with group theory - and I kept it up.

If you are looking for a good beginners solution, this one is great..

It gives you the option to gradually learn more algorithms as you become more confident doing it.

I do it in about 45 seconds. My record is 33 ish seconds. Started learning it in about June. Don't do it very often anymore. I also have a 4x4x4 but can't do that one properly yet.

Edit. Funny. I forgot my avatar was of a rubiks cube :P:
