I did take mine apart. Not to solve it, just to see how it worked. Still don't quite get it.

I've solve one once. It took a long time for me even after learning the algorithms. Back in high school Rubik's cubes became somewhat popular. I think a couple of my friends were able to solve it in about a minute. They were always competing for times.
Quote:I probably have one somewhere in my mess, bought it complete and never scrambled it to impress women 
It's more impressive to create the checker board pattern, which is pretty simple to do with a completed cube, or the flower pattern which I don't know how to do.

The checkboard, the circles, the steps. Even the Ohio pattern is not that difficult. What's tricky is using my algorithm and not forgetting what you're doing in the middle.

I'm getting a new, better cube (not Rubik's brand), hopefully it'll arrive soon.
I'm learning 2-look OLL and PLL, another 15 or so algs of varying difficulty, but at one a day this should really help standardize my solves and even sub-1minute.
Also, 2x2x2 is down to 14 seconds

Somewhere onliine I saw an emulator that went up to 14x14 or something. No idea where I saw it.
