How to Solve a Rubik's Cube | WIRED

WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez learned to solve a Rubik's cube from Tyson Mao, one of the co-founders of the World Cube Association. In two weeks, Robbie got his solve time down from 45 minutes with Tyson, to 20 minutes on his own, to under a minute on average. Learn his 8-step method here.

I will admit I was stuck for a while after completing the 2nd row, but within 2 weeks, I had this down. Now I can solve a cube every time with no thought needed. This has been great exercise for keeping my mind active and healthy. I now mix and then solve a cube at least 5 times a day. Thank you again.

Your cube is unsolvable in its current configuration. You must take out an offending piece and flip it so that you have a solvable case; or swap stickers if you can't remove a piece.

[@1dogissky]

Jivan Pal can I just change all the stickers so the same colors are on the same face?

[@JivanPal]

@@1dogissky, you can, but then you have to peel off many stickers, and they tend not to be that sticky, so you'll probably end up with stickers that don't stay on afterwards; or too sticky, so that you end up with ripped stickers. Better to take the cube apart. It's very easy - turn a face 45°, then pop out one of that face's edges, and the rest comes apart relatively easily.
