ARGH Y WOENT IT WERK?! (Rubik's Cube)
« on: April 16, 2010, 09:26:03 pm »

Alright, I've decided that I must learn to solve a Rubik's Cube.  I'm going to better myself by learning a useless but impressive skill.

I'm using Wikihow's method and have gotten good enough that I can solve all the way up to step 5 without the guide.  The problem though, is that when White (Completely filled) is on the bottom, and each of the other colors has their bottom two rows full, the instructions seem to expect that there should be two adjacent corners of the same color.  There aren't.  Ever.  It gives no explanation of how to get them there. 

Do any skilled Cubonaughts have any advice for how to get those corners in the right place?

Take it apart then put it back together.

That is cheating and a waste of a post.

I would help, but only one kid in my whole school knows how to solve a Rubik's Cube.

And it's not me.

It's alright, I figured it out.  Now I just need to solve it consistently without a guide and I'm the man.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?
