Ahh, the rubiks cube. Good stuff. You say you cant solve it and dont want to take off the stickers? You came to the right place.
Rotate any side a 1/8 turn as shown above, then pop out any one of the edge (not corner) pieces.
Now all of the pieces should come out easily.
If you’re one of those people who have solved one naturally, write your name and the time it takes on average. Also, if you have an interesting completion story, include it! I, for example, have done it with one hand.
My average time is 3:30 Minutes.
-Brandon Kimball
That’s so cool. I would never have imagined it to look like that.
I just pull off the colored stickers and reapply them
Mine did this on its own back in the ’80s when the Cube was hip. I used to oil it just a bit to help it slide during speed cubing. I eventually got good enough to solve it in 1 minute 42 seconds but not before it exploded on me once or twice. A little friction is good — I had used a bit too much oil. I look at it now and can’t even remember how to solve a single side…….:(
That’s one way to solve it.
I have a feeling that it is called CHEATING!! oh well i bet you cant put it togther again
[...] I think this is mainly reserved to men, but I really enjoy taking stuff apart. Maybe at some level by dissecting some gadget I feel that I have not only shown my dominance over that thing but I also have in a way given it life by putting it back together. Now you can experience the “god complex” with pretty much anything thanks to Takeitapart.net. Take It Apart gives pictoral guides to taking pretty much anything apart. If you are tired of the Rubik’s cube getting the best of you, then show it who is boss by taking it apart. If you find yourself bored this weekend, just visit Take It Apart and do just that. [...]
yes yes, very good, danker, manker
I would have never imagined that thats how it would work
lose the tweezers/screwdriver and just throw it as hard as you can against a wall.
Hey I’m not going to lie but this is the only way I have ever beaten one of these.
I saw a video online of a guy who made a lego robot that solves the cube. I am the one who posted this disassembly, and have since completed the Professor cube, the cube that is 5×5. It was hard, and i am wondering if i should ever mess it up again for fear of never bieng able to solve it. Its delicate, it would probably come apart easy.
ive done that b4 but we ran it over with my dads 4×4
Brandon can you send me the link to that video, i wanna put it on my ipod
i’m only 10 and I can solve a 3 x 3 rubiks cube, a 4 x 4 rubiks cube, and a 5 x 5 rubiks cube fastest for 3 x 3: 1.25 minnuts fastest for 4 x 4: 10 minn. fastest for 5 x 5 21.5 minn
one time i superglued my sisters rubiks cube and she got fuckin pissed
My fastest time on a 3×3x3 is 17.84. I average around 25 seconds.
How do you put back the pieces together?
and is it difficult to?
I beat it in 1 min and 54 seconds, then i took it apart cause i was bored and got a pen and wrote my name on the inside axis around the white, and put it back together so my name is always there, i also wrote my fastest time solving it
I can solve a retail 3×3x3 Rubik’s cube in 1min, 54sec…. most of that time was spent trying to spin the stupid thing.
This is so cool! But what do you have to try to do to solve it?
My average on a 3×3 was 34.4seconds, your a loser !!!!
I learned how to to it last week in about 3 hours and now i average about 1.30
My fastest ever on a 3 x 3 was 1 min 5 seconds but I average at about 1 min 30 seconds, I’m taking it apart to lubricate it cuz I wanna get faster.
my average at the moment is about 35 seconds, if anyone knows a good site for modifying 2×2x2 cubes, can they e-mail me plz? gareth_francis@hotmail.com
i jus did this to oil it so i could do it faster, my average is 1:41:05 but my record time is 1:21:17(min,sec, mili sec)
Ice gotten it down to 1:10 i think, usually if im trying takes me 1:30-2minutes
my fastest time is 1:09 lucky
my time on 3×3 is 45secs
i got it in 59 seconds hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha
this is not a method of solving, this is gay. learn how to do it, its not that hard if you read the tutorials.
my best time is 31 seconds and i average 37 seconds- dudes at my school pull 14 seconds. one of them averages 20 seconds.
is there a way to tighten it? some of my cubes are a bit loose and its too easy to spin that it just gets annoying cause it messes up rotating the other way
just apply silicone spray thu a straw to make it spin fast
1min 31secs
My fastest time on a Rubik’s Cube is 2:32 and all of you who say you can solve it in under a minute are lyers
My fastest time on a Rubik’s Cube is 2:32 and all of you who say you can solve it in under a minute are liers… The world record is like, 56 seconds. the only way to solve it that fast is to spin it a certain way cheaters.
this actually worked! lol, i took it apart and it didnt say how to put it back together so i was like oh crap. but with some dabling i got it! Total time to solve this specific cube, about 10 years (its been in my family forever and never felt like solving it and then today i decided is a good day to dominate it.)
Very interesting guide.
Anyways, I average a little above 2 minutes. However my cube isn’t really made for speed (it gets stuck; I don’t want to oil it or anything though), and all the stickers are coming off and fading. I like solving it though.
i can solve it with a fastest time of 15 secs but only average 30 secs
that world record is like 6.4 seconds right???thats fast, im 12 and my record is 6 min.
the fastest is a little over 11 seconds. i can get mine to about 1:45 but it is rerally tough to turn and i am not sure how to lubricate it properly
I just came to this page on accident looking for how to put back together a 4×4…mine fell apart and well…you know. anyways, i already knew how to do this really…i can actually solve a 3×3 in 29 secs, 4×4 in2 min 27 secs, and 5×5 in 5 min 31 secs…yeeeeeeaaahhh
I have completed the 3×3 4×4 and 5×5 cubes my best on the 3×3 is 1:17 and on the 4×4 10:30 i haven’t timed myself on the 5×5 yet.
P.S. this is to paul can you please tell me what method you use to solve the 3×3 cube i am in the process in try find and faster method then the one i am useing now so if you could please tell me. Thanks Billy
this is to meeeeeeeeee i took my 4×4 apart and i found out that you should put four face peice on then set the cube down on that face and finish that layer and work up to the top i hope this helps it isnt much into detial
this is to Billy–I also came to this website looking for how to put the 4×4 back together, and your detail-less comment was just what i needed to head in the right direction. Within 10 minutes, I had a whole cube again. Thanks!
my time is 2 minutes 10 sec in solving one
i lubed up my cube, though.
I am 18 and I can solve a 3×3 rubiks cube in about 1 min. I can also do it one handed. it takes me about 3 mins. I can do lots of different patterns with my 3×3 as well. I am getting a 4×4 in 3 days. Hope be able to solve that soon.
if you really want to solve one without taking it apart try this website
nevermind the website will not show
http://www.wrongway.org/cube/solve.html
Ha, over 3 minutes? Dang, that’s pretty slow. My record for solving the Rubik’s Cube is 39 seconds. I’m pretty sure I’ve done it one handed before, I can’t remember.
thqnks to you i cant put it back together!!
I managed to get a personal record of solving the cube within 30 seconds, but with an Ultra- Lubricated cube
My one handed record is about 4 mins
1 min 9 sec LBL method
how do you take apart a 4×4 rubiks cube
done it with my feet! ANywayputting it back together is pretty easy if you have a good cube just takes some muscle getting the last piece. It is impossible if last piece is corner make sure it is edge. To do it just first put in all the edge pieces for the white layer, then put in all the corners for white layer, all the edge pieces for middle,then one edge piece top layer two adjacent corners pieces on e adjacent edge piece to one of the corners then adjacent edge piece to that then other side adjacent edge piece then 4th corner then last edge piece
taking apart a 4×4x4 cube is REALLY EASY! just start twisting really fast til it jams then twist HARD. to put it back together is easier than putting bak th.e 3×3x3. FIrst put the 4BL (bottom layer) centers into the little track around the ball and putt them together. THen place them as the bottom and they will work as kind of a stand. Make sure the bottom is white color. NOw for the bottom edges. NOw take the white-blue edges and fit their sides into the slots on the white centers. THEY SHOULD NOT GO INTO THE TRAK! Make sure the blue is on the front. Now do the orange-white edges the same way. They should go on the left of blue side. Green is side opposite blue, and red is side opposite orange. BEWARE, certain edges will only go onto certain sides, make sure theyre on the right side of the centers. Now put the corners in the correct place, they should fit quite nicely. NOw put the blue centers in only the bottom two then the orange, green, etc. NOw put in the edges. Now do next layer centers and edges. Now put in all 4 yellow centers on top but put one in then move in one the track to one side then next piece move on track to other end etc. otherwise you wont be able to put them all in. Now put the two yellowd-blue edges in and the y-b-o corner and the y-b-r corner. next put in the yellow orange edges, y-g-o corner, yellow-red edges,.Allr corner, then yellow-green edges. All DOne!
39 seconds r u serious i have done it in 12 seconds What u have to do is rlly understand where all the pieces are going while ur doing it and be thinking about the next move while doing the one before it. It is pretty simple after you get the hang of it. I learned how to do it at camp bye fiddling with it now i can do it in about 40 seconds but whatever. My best one handed time is somewhere in between 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds. O ya iam 9 years old. Thnx for letting me share my comments with ll u guys. p.s. speaking of time it took me 7 minutes to write this. while watching star wars 3
wee i solved one in 45 seconds!
now one handed in 12 sec!
i beat those all the time anyone that cannot do so is an INSULT to this COUNTRY
3 x 3 in 1:10 average is 1:30
Thx. while i’m on tour, i get bored. i bought a rubik’s cube and have no idea how to solve thx a lot!
Peace out-
Miley Cyrus
I can solve it in about 1 min 30sec
I kan actually do one in 2 minutes and 30 secs. Thanx for the help on taking it apart. I needed to take it apart to lubricate it. I broke one though…
should any one invented triangle type some what like pyramid …my alien friend has 1 of it.
i don’t care how long it takes me to solve it. its a fun puzzle, and it’s even more of a challenge to take one apart and put it back together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Guys, my average times are as follows:
2×2 – 26-29 secs
3×3 – 55-65 secs
4×4 – 5.5-6 mins
5×5 – 8-9 mins
yeah i’m 17 and i learned how to do the rubiks cube over the phone by my boyfriend when i was 16. i have a time of about 2 minutes and 15 seconds, i have done it one handed, left and right handed. i just got a 5 x 5 for christmas and haven’t completely figured it out yet but willing to learn. if anyone has helps for that i would be happy to learn!
i can solve this thing in about 5 minutes
btw im 11 years old
ive only taken off one whole layer on my rubiks cube
ive never done the whole thing
I can solve it in about 1:58 to about 2:30….but I need to oil this sucker its annoying me
haha ian said that the world record is 56 seconds
the record is like 9 seconds for the 3×3
idk exactly, its been a while since a checked
my average is like 1:30
but idk my fastest time
i mostly use the rubik’s icon though (the gray scale one)
3×3 is 1min and 24 sec
HOW DO YOU PUT IT BACK TOGETHER WHEN YOU TAKE IT APART!?

My fastest time on a Rubik’s Cube is 2:32 and all of you who say you can solve it in under a minute are liers… The world record is like, 56 seconds. the only way to solve it that fast is to spin it a certain way cheaters.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10865197/
check the site
I do this all the time… I was wonderin if it wuz just me doing this and no one had figured it out yet… but pretty good… my average is 1:07. Nice work.
i can do the 3×3x3 in 48 seconds on average normally alittle faster but if you round all together it comes out to 48 seconds
anyone can take a rubiks cube apart
i solved it with one hand too
my record is 36 seconds for solving the rubiks cube
i know how to solve a 5×5
Man the 3*3 ain’t nothing. I don’t need to take it apart to solve it. My average time in solving it is 50 sec. I love making people look stupid when they can’t solve it. its hilarious.
42.6 seconds is my best, 1 min 06 Average
yeah i just learned how to solve it like 2 days ago and im 14. my average at the moment is about 1:40
I picked one up my sophomore year of college. I’m down to 54 seconds, but I’m still using the layer method – I’m just now learning the corner method! I now teach high school physics and have had 4 students since January to buy a cube and learn to solve it. Spread the love!
I can solve a cube in 2:15
[...] http://www.takeitapart.net/archives/rubiks-cube/ [...]
hI!!!!! well i cAn solve that cube in 1:31 seconds without cheating jajajjajajajajja
hey I can solve that cube without cheating in 59 seconds
heh, yeah that works for when mine comes apart sometimes, i used a bit too much vaseline…got my time down to 1:05 though, but now i like the 4×4x4 the best.
I solved mine in 58 seconds once. The poor thing has never been the same. I need a new one….
I love the rubik’s cube.
I can solve one naturally in 1 minute and 33 seconds
3×3 two minutes
4×4 six Min
5×5 ten min
I cant solve the cube at all and im 11.im in advanced classes on top of that so it doesn’t make sense.any1 got any tips?
On average i do it in 54 seconds. I’ve also done it with one hand but it took almost 6 minutes
dude 56 secs? no the world record is something like 14 secs or something. Me and my friend just solved it in 59 secs.
Me, I solved a rubix cube for 10 seconds, even without an oil or petroleum jelly and I invented a new method on solving a whole rubix cube. Without cheating! I can solve it naturally! It’s true
haha i wish i wouldve seen this when i took my first one apart….i broke that one…
2×2 4.03
3×3 15.43
4×4 1:26.23
5×5 2:32.34
It does not work,it is a lie,it sucks don’t do it it will break your cube fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My average is 30seconds, my best being 23
I can usually solve in about 2:30, my record is 2:07
can someoene tell me how to reasemple the last pieces?
I solve the 2×2 in 8 seconds, 3×3 in 18 seconds, 4×4 in 2 minutes, 5×5 in 3 minutes and 30 seconds, 6×6 in 8 minutes, 7×7 in 12 minutes, pyraminx in 15 seconds, and megaminx in 5 minutes.
I can solve the stupid thing properly, but I never time myself. Whenever I try, I end up slowing down a lot for some reason.
Hey, check out this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mExcw00pVJY
My best time is 1:03, I’m trying to tighten mine atm
i want to have a good rubik cube. but in VietNam i can’t buy it. i only have a cube but it not good so i can solve in 2 minutes
my average iz 2 minutes and 30 seconds im 13 nd i just got a 4×4 wit the 3×3 i have taken it apart nd dun th@ in 5 minutes the stickers dont look like theyll re-aply nd by mistake i just stubled apon how 2 take the 4×4 apart!!!!! =-}___
smhshfoabfofcofroflolzingwefiabcopter= scrathing my head so hard fell of a building falling on floor caufhing on PEOPLES faces rolling on floor laughing out loud zest OF it never STOPS going while eating food in a building cause of people th@ e@ rap
Yo thanx I can solve my 3×3 in 6.5 sec. Can eny1 tell me other methods
My record is 1:05
Really cool but having trouble putting back together last 2 pieces MY RECORD IS 47 secconds in your %^&*($%( in faces
It takes me on average about 2 minutes…
it looks cool
i dont want to ruin the cube though!!
my average time is around 3.30 too. but my best time is around 2 minutes.
if you but a small amount of Vaseline in the middle is increases your solve time.
my top time is 62 seconds and ive carved a rubix cube out of a log i carved out all the peices drilled holes so that the center peices can move and painted it and it worked
I solve the rubiks cube myself under20 seconds
thanks for showing me lol cheating haha
heheh, the latest world is 7.08 seconds by erik akkersdijk ….really fast ehh….
You won’t ruin the cube doing this. Speed solvers often do this to lubricate the cube. It goes back together pretty easily. Basically, insert the bottom corners, then the middle row rotating it as you add pieces, then do the top leaving out one edge, Rotate the top 45°, then snap in the last piece. Do it as if it were solved, though. If you get one piece turned the wrong way, the puzzle could be, and most likely will be, unsolvable.
