Some stories from people who have completed the Rubik's Cube

My husband came home from the flea market yesterday with a rubics cube. I told him that when I was a kid, I could get two sides done, then I gave up, took it apart, and put it back together the right way! ha! So, I had my fun with it while our baby was napping... and I decided I had to solve this thing. I found your site in a google search, and I just did it! I am really so excited. (My girlfriend phoned me earlier, and when I told her what I was doing during the baby's naptime, she told me it was time to have another baby.) I just wanted to thank you for the great instructions, though I almost threw the thing through my living room window during Move 4. Your site was the best, and I feel SO excited that I did this!!! I guess all together, it took me maybe 3 or 4 hours. (I was really hoping it wouldn't be 10, like you said!) THANKS AGAIN!

Hey, how's it going. First off I would like to thank you for how far you've gotten me so far and actually I just can't get move five even though it is the easiest. I have tried it 5 times and every time the cube just gets scrambled......I was half way through writing this when I tried one more time and finally figured it out. Want to thank you again, you have a great site and I feel confident that this time I will actually be able to remember how to do this solution for a while to come.

Hey man...i really hope you get this letter....your site was great i never thought the rubiks cube could be that easy to do...it is a little tricky and sometimes gets a little complicating but i'm sure with practice it will be a breeze...

completing a rubiks cube is something i never thought i'd be able to do. thank you very much for taking the time to write out all the detailed instructions and for adding the animations.

I was given a cube when the first came out in the early eighties and I learned how to do it after months of torture. I was doing some Christmas shopping this year and saw they were back on sale and bought one but for the life of me could not remember the moves to complete the final layer. Your step by step instructions where the best link by far from the Rubik's site, and after 3 hours I have mastered it once again, I cannot tell you what joy I feel at being able to crack this puzzle once again.
Well done a great site and thank you for the insights.

I learned how to do the cube in 4th grade and got pretty proficient at it. Now I'm in my thirties and bought a Rubic's for my daughter. I hadn't looked at a cube in 20 years and was racking my brain trying to solve it. After two months of trying on my own, I got on line, came across your method and two hours later, had it transformed from a jumbled mess to completion! I appreciate you making this available. The animation and instruction are quite helpful (as are the points of having faith and just keep on going!) Now I can actually teach my daughter instead of just blankly staring at it beside her!

Many tnx for your site. I did keep the faith and,as always, the right things happened. Your "Cube" solution worked fine. Although, I had to understand what you were saying. It was all there..all the time. Just a matter of coordinating CE,CCW, right, left and up & down. I haven't done the cube in over twenty years. Your solution was more technical then the original methods I used. What I liked best was the language and move descriptions you wrote. They were great for getting this solution as fast as it could be done. (I am not back to the speeds that I used to have yet) Your solutions brought many pleasant surprises during the learning process. I.E."several times, different steps were automatically skipped....not always". Also some of the other methods that I used in the past left you in a step that was 8 to 16 moves or over 100. I am sure you have been there before. In using these older methods for speed, they weren't dependable 100% of the time.

I looked at several other solutions on the web, but found your's the easiest to follow. I even tried to combine with some others, but didn't work too well because of termanology. I did find some brief termanology changes that made the solution much quicker for me. I will scribble them down and forward to you. As you well know--the experience a person has,their particular IQ and background and patience are what determines the best solution for them. Your solution is the best all-around I have found. It seems to fit anyone interested and patient to learn "A" solution.

hi after using the instructions on your site i can now complete the cube in under 5 mins it seams so easy

I've been trying to solve one of these things for about a year and a half now... (it was actually my last years new years resolution) and i can now say that i can (even if it takes a bit) solve a rubiks cube! Thank you so much!

I bought a rubik cube a couple of days before and was curious to know the solution to it. I browsed your site and find it fascinating. Now I have saved the solution pages and try to work it out. I appreciate highly, your passion for the Cube and the way you are making it interesting.

I am an MBA graduate and my husband works as a software engineer... We are blessed with a son who will turn 4 this year. So much for the intro... Your explanation of how to solve the rubic cubic is excellent. Well, I was a slow learner though... It took me about a week to solve the cube completely... But the best part is now I know how. And my thanks to you. As you said, it was more like a prayer to work the cube. And in the end it feels just great - like a prayer answered!! So now I have learnt another new thing in this world. Praise the Lord. And what's more? My friends think that I am very intelligent (Ha ha) Well this is after all borrowed intelligence from Chris, right? Thank you once again. God Bless.

Chris! Thatnk you so much for your reply, you helped me more than you can imagine in one simple sentance, I was mixed up in the last move, I thought that once you did move 5 on one corner, you turned the whole cube toget the next corner to theb ottom right, but not so! Now I can finish the cube and everyone in my dorm is asking me tot each them they are so impressed. thank you so much for helping me on something that has wraught my mind for so long! Thanks again

Hello, and thank you very much for being ym main source for help on this amazing puzzle.

Thank you for the prompt reply to my E-mail. Your instructions were just what i needed to hear to understand move 4. I am happy to say that i can now complete the rubix cube without any difficulty. Thanks for all your help and for the great site you've set up to aid new cubers like myself. I am truly grateful. God Bless

I love your website and am really enjoying learning how to solve the rubix cube. It is really invigorating reading your testimony and seeing you standing up for your faith and being such a bold witness. Well done. I gave my life to the Lord about 3 years ago after many year of searching, and have never looked back. We serve a loving and gracious God who is slow to anger and abounding in grace and mercy. What a privilege it is to be called His servants and be entrusted with this great Commission, to spread the truth about Jesus Christ. Continue in your witness and you will reach many, and save them from the clutches of Satan.

OK, I've solved the cube. But I have one problem, I have a cube with designs on it, instead of solid colors. The centerpieces may not move but they do twist. Do you have directions to twist the centerpieces back to complete the designs without destroying the cube. On a 3*3 cube the #5 is the center piece, and it is upside down.

hey, just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you. i'm a "fisherman" (fisher of men) in south east asia. someone comming through the area left me a cube. i've been able to do the first two rows but wasn't able to complete it. i got to a computer and thought i'd try and get educated, found your site and took some notes. thanks, really appreciate it. dig your site. bless you.

I have been messing around with my cube at home for a day or two and got stuck. I have the top completely done with the first row matching colors so this is what I needed. I am saved by the way. So anyways I can’t wait to get home and try it. My only question is that accord to your move one you move bottom row one turn and move right column one turn but when I was watching the animation it looked like the right column turned twice like half of a rotation instead of a ¼ turn. I just wanted to make sure it is just a ¼ turn and not a full half of a rotation. I can’t wait to get home and check it out. Have a great day. In His Name, Tim
