It involves math and logic and stuff - I don't get it but in case anyone else ever wondered and they have the brain and patience for that thing, here you go! So you have a Rubik's Cube, and you've played with it and stared at it and taken it apart...need I go on any further? The following are two complete, fool-proof solutions to solving the cube from absolutely any legal position. Credit goes not to me, but to David Singmaster, who wrote a book in 1980, Notes on Rubik's Magic Cube, which explains pretty much all of what you need to know, plus more. Singmaster wrote about all of these moves except the move for Step 2, which I discovered independently (along with many other people, no doubt). |

This would have been really helpful if only it wre 1982. |

LOL blues - but this site says it's the 'legal' way to do it. Maybe there are people that compete in it?  |

I remember seeing on TV once this guy could solve a Rubik's Cube by swallowing it and then twisting his stomach with his hands. Then he coughed it back up.
True story. |

You know, if I had a Rubik's Cube messed up, and several hours to decipher the site, I'd still probably give up half-way through... |

LOL I'm with you Mike - those things drive me crazy. After 30 seconds I end up throwing them across the room :P |

It's an interesting site. Basically it's showing the results of considering it mathematically, but skipping out all the steps to calculate why that works. I've got a book somewhere on how to solve it analyitically using group theory. |

Hey, I learned how to do my first solve from that site! It was really confusing at first, so reading it over and over again is a must until you really understand what each step is trying to accomplish and how. Those were good times. |
