hahaha i have the cube the clock and the other 1 mm its like a folded plastik thing with rings on it i forget its name
the clock is hard i saw a guy on tv he was given 5 mins 2 look at 5 cubes in a row toutch them and then place them on the table again then he was blindfolded and he had 2 make them all good this guy was smart buy looking at them he worked out the entire sequence to doing eatch cube and remembered it then just 1 buy 1 solved them all blindfolded it was amazing

Student solves Rubik's Cube in 11.13 seconds

SAN FRANCISCO — A 20-year-old California Institute of Technology student set a new world record today for solving the popular Rubik's Cube puzzle, turning the tiled brain-twister from scrambled to solved in 11.13 seconds.
Leyan Lo is part of Caltech's Rubik's Cube Club, a brainy clutch of students that hosted the competition at the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco. Lo's record-setting time came early in the day, among his first five tries in the preliminary rounds.
The record-setting solve caught competitors and Lo himself by surprise.
"It's kind of scary now that I set it, because I have two more (attempts) to go," Lo said humbly afterward. His time of 11.13 seconds broke the previous record of 11.75 seconds, set by Frenchman Jean Pons at the Dutch Open competition last year.
Still, the world record alone wouldn't gain Lo the overall champion's title at the event, which is determined by averaging three of five solution times in the final round. For that title, Lo went up against the teenager widely considered the fastest Rubik's Cube solver on the planet — Shotaro Makisumi, a 15-year-old high school sophomore from Pasadena.
Makisumi prevailed, clocking in with an average time of 14.91 seconds in the final round to take first place.
Besides blindingly fast fingers and a head for memorizing algorithms used by most top competitors to solve the cube, what is Makisumi's secret?
"I don't know. Faster first two layers," he surmised, referring to solving the first two layers of the cube's coloured tiles before moving on to the last. For his victory, Makisumi won a Rubik's Snake puzzle, one of several variations on the basic cube model which has sold more than 100 million worldwide, according to the manufacturer.
Contestants brought their own cubes to the competition, and a computer program was used to scramble the cubes in the same fashion for each round to give the contestants equal footing.
