I had been trying to solve Rubik's cube 3x3x3 since I was in my teens, only to throw it away frustrated after hours of struggling with it. And my Cube was lying forgotten and catching dust until recently when I found an online video tutorial which described the techniques to solve the cube. It involved 7 steps of lengthy algorithms which had to be memorized. Given my weak memory, I wouldn't put an effort to even hear it once, but somehow I survived the tutorial and memorized the algorithms too, well... almost....
Now I can solve it in about 4 minutes and I have my aspirations really high when I say that my aim is to bring it down to the World Record of 3x3x3... ie 00:05.66!!! Hmm, may be not... Now, I am using a beginner level algorithm and an ordinary cube, neither of which are cut out for speed cubing... Following the advice of veterans in speedcubing, my intention is to try to solve the cube with in about 1.30 minutes. By that time I should be ready to learn the Fridrich algorithm which is more suited for speedcubing.
I am planning to write a very simple beginner's guide for solving the cube for dummies like myself and put it here... to rescue all those unfortunate Rubik's cubes sleeping in the darkest corners.... lol...
