I was very pleased to receive a Rubik's Cube[1] as a gift on Fathers' Day this year and I decided to learn how to solve it. Yesterday I memorised the last of a full set of beginners' algorithms for the Fridrich Method[2] of solving the classic 3x3x3 cube. Now I'm trying to develop some speed and minimise the mistakes I make and my times are OK: I'm averaging about 2 minutes, 40 seconds with my best speed 2 minutes 19 seconds. I'm using the World Cube Association Competition regulations for scrambling[3] and their handy form for scrambling algorithms[4]. I hope that one day I'll get my head around some of the intermediate algorithms so I can break the 2 minute glass ceiling!
