Well, I have changed courses from 3×3x3 Rubik’s Cubes and their solutions to 5×5x5. Why the sudden switch? Well, good question junior.I have already completed one of my life goals by solving the 3×3x3 Rubik’s Cubes and now it is time to move on. Of course, I will still practice my skills of the 3×3x3 but less frequently. I have achieved a time of 30-35 seconds in multiple records. If I practice beforeand, my average can be as low as 45-50 seconds. On good day 40-45. I am close to competing in the next National Rubik’s Cube Tournament.
Back to 5×5x5. They are bigger, heavier, more challenging, take less time to solve, and less people know how to solve them. It will be hard to find a solution online for the 5×5x5, but I hear it is very similar practices to the 3×3x3. I am excited, and scared, but pumped for a great challenge or the summer.
Stay tuned for more articles!

I hate the Rubik’s Revolution.
Simple.
Honetsly, the more I look at it I want to throw up. It is a disgrace. It’s huge, and an electronic game. Nothing to do with Cubing. My friends pick it up and go, “Hey, why doesn’t it turn.” I laugh but cry on the inside. Not really.
It is still complex and uses skills to like, do, but it is honestly a game for 5-10 year olds. All of this is in my opinion so please don’t take it offensively. As soon as the Rubik’s Cube Tournament puts it into their schedule I will take this back. But please, it’s just using the name of the Rubik’s Cube.

Yesterday’s article talked about what happens when you forget how to do a Rubik’s Cube. Well, today’s article is about preventing this and how to treat this when and if it happens. So, always always always solve the cube.
At least once every month pick up a cube and solve it. Done. Easy. This will keep you from forgetting the ways of the cube.
If you forgot how to solve a cube already. Suck it up. Learn it again.
If you are slow and was fast before, here are some tips:
- Slowly solve the cube.
- Time yourself adequately. No second-guessing.
- Like number 2, give yourself 15 seconds like in a real tournament.
- First time, slowly solve the cube. Second time actual go for it.
- Seek out regular, not short cut ways to solve the cube.
- After two or three tries, go for the short-cuts and look at your time.
Ignoring these key rules will prevent you from being a better cubist or at least where you were before you forgot how to solve the cube. You WILL get discourage jumping right into it. Follow these directions.

Is solving a Rubik’s Cube like riding a bike? You always remember it? I would say not because I have met so many people that used to know how to solve one and don’t know how to. In “Flowers for Algernon,” a mentally retarded person undergoes an operation that makes him smarter. Later, after climbing to an I.Q. of 204, his I.Q. drops to lower than it was before, leaving him with little knowledge of his past life.
How does this relate to cubing? I can solve a cube in almost 40 seconds, but I haven’t done it in a long time. So, just yesterday I picked up my cube and whittled away with a timer going as fast as I could. My time:
2 Minutes.
3 times that of my average best. I went again this time:
1 Minute
Back to normal. Still very slow for my taste, but the most important thing is that I almost forgot how to solve the cube. That is why it took so long. In another upcoming article, I will give you tips to rekindling your Rubik’s Cube abilities. Beside the obvious relearning the cube, there are ways to get faster to where you were.

Well, we all should know that their are two types of new Rubik’s Cubes. There is the original historical cube and the new cube that we use today. The new ones have white across from yellow, and green against blue and the last few against the last few. (Red against the orange.) Legally, by the Rubik’s Cube rules, we need a new regular cube. Not an original one. I will check it for you guys, but that is pretty sure.Also, a Rubik’s Cube needs the official Rubik’s Cube sticker logo on a side, or a distinguishing sticker on the white center side. Just some more rules for you professionals back at home looking out!

Ok guys and gals. After being a little sick, here comes step two. Again, I will be having a picture for this lovely step. But read this first to learn what the step is!
The next step is to get T’s with the Rubik’s Cube. ???? What is probably what your thinking. Here’s a picture to clear it up:
I know, it looks bad. But do you get the picture? 
You need to get the corners and place them in the white side. You will be filling in the white corners to complete the white side, AND get thse cool little T’s!
The next step is easier because it is just a formula step. So learn this one, and then the next one is on the way!
