The Origami Forum

ive memaeised how to do them so it takes me like a miniute and my dad got a reall cool one thats kinda like an ocktagon in 3d

my uncle peels the stickers off. cheater

I can solve it in about 2 minutes, my personal record is 1 1/2 minutes. I did a webpage explaining how to solce it (in Spanish) and it has over 500.000 visits since 1998.

I did an origami Rubik cube

based on Tomohiro Tachi's

I challenge you (and everyone else who's up for it) to try to create a working Rubic Cube (it can be modular if necessary.....)

Yeah right

I read somewhere that after Erno Rubik designed the cube, he spent several years thinking that it couldn't be manufactured due to the technology it required

It would have to! A working rubik's cube from one piece of paper is impossible

Couldn't someone somehow eventually figure out how to do this?

I'm not one to count my chicken's before they hatch, but I think I am about 2-3 weeks away from completing a working origami Rubik's cube. I am constructing it using my construction set (the puzzles etc.), thus it will be constructed without glue or cuts using rectangular pieces of paper of varying sizes held together by friction, locks and/or prayer.

Here's hoping!

Great I'll be waiting. Meanwhile people can check this cool Rubik video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkft2qaKv_o

Which reminds me - when I was younger I had a rubix cube once. A friend of mine tried the same trick but didn't succeed, so he left it half finished, and to my big surprise when I tried the cube later it was impossible to solve it!

I was at my friends the other day and she caughtme trying to peel the stickers off her rubiks cube. I tried to do it the hard way, but just managed to restrain myself from pegging it at the wall.
ARGH!!!

My fastest time? I think 20 mins. Yeah, it's terrible.
I like playing the online one, though.
It's on http://www.addictinggames.com

I can't solve it fast, either. I did manage the Rubik's Revenge (5X5 cube)once, though.

Great origami Rubik's Cube. I solved The Rubik's cube in the average of 24 seconds.

wow,there are people who can do it under 8 seconds...

Isn't the five by five called the professor's cube.

Anyways, I have done the regular three by three in a little under two minutes

I can also complete the four by four in under fifteen minutes usually. I even memorized the algorithm for fixing parity errors.

Unlike SOME of you who peel of the stickers, I do it the HARD way by taking apart the pieces of the cube and rearranging them.
