There was a guy on geeks that could do it in 8 seconds, he memorized the pattern that if he started his fingers on certain colors he could do it so fast. He also could do it blindfolded and behind his back. In fact I believe its the asian guy judging in the above youtube video. ---

Im pretty sure that it is just like a set number of moves that you just do over and over. I watched one of my math professors do it in just about 30 seconds, and he told me something along those lines. ---

A long time ago I was able to complete one. There are three sections, each with its own different moves. Learning to complete one section at a time helps. The last section, the bottom… is defitely the most complex, but there are only 3 different movements you have to memorize. It was hard, and took me a while… but, there are only 9 or 10 different movements you have to know to do the whole cube ---

I watched one of my math professors do it in just about 30 seconds, and he told me something along those lines. [/quote] In general, yes. More so, you solve it in pieces. If you happen to solve it without being able to sove it again, then it was purely on accident. It simply doent work that way. Here’s how it works; You solve it in steps. Pick a corner, and solve a 2x2x2 piece. Then you solve a 2x2x3 piece. At this point it gets tricky, you have to now solve the bottom two layers (2x3x3) but you have to watch for “flipped” pieces. There is a set a moves to memorize to unflip them. Then you solve the bottom 2 layers. With the top layer left, you place the corners in their correct spot, they dont have to be flipped the right way. Then you get the top layer colors all facing up, but most fo the time the side pieces will be one oppostie corners. At this point there is a set series of moves to place them in their correct spots, and the cube is solved. Each “step” has a series of moves you can perform every time to get a piece where you want it. It’s not a trick, it’s not cheating, but you recognize you’re doing the same twist and turn to place a corner or edge where you want it to be. The people who can do them in under a minute can locate and place a piece much faster, they look over the cube, pin point the pieces they need in order to solve the first steps, and once those steps are “solved”, it can be completley ignored; no further steps with mess up what they’ve already done, hence the beginning of the solving process being the hardest. EDIT: Also, the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 are actualy solved buy “creating” a 3x3x3 cube, then solving it. The 4x4x4 (for me) was a bit harder, there aren’t any center pieces, so you had to know where the centers went [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rubiks-cube/25204.md?page=1)
