Kori, The Red Robin in League City next to Baybrook Mall has a 15-20 size Rubics Cube. I was there last month but didnt snap a pic of it or I would attach. I bet they would let you solve it while you wait for your burger.

There are many websites that give you basic algorithms. I think that solving the first layer can be pretty intuitive and you should shoot for that goal. The second layer is more complex, and taking a look at algorithms for that you can quickly understand them. After that, it's going to be a heck of a lot easier to memorize the algorithms and figure it out in an intuitive way later. I take about a minute for the standard cube, the best I've done is about 30 seconds (with a ton of luck). But there are many more shortcuts and so on to learn and I have been looking into a few myself. Take a look at the sites Jeff sent and practice with them. One thing that I found helped was to pop off one of the edge pieces and add a dab of petroleum jelly inside the cube(helps you move it smoother and faster). After that, moving up to a "speed cube" shaves a few seconds off. Once you get the 3x3x3 down, you just need a couple more algorithms and you can do a 4x4x4, after that most bigger ones are not too hard to figure out (just tedious). I'm currently working on a 7x7x7. Still got a few things to learn, but I've solved it in a few hours. 1.5 hours on my second try. Practice and develop muscle memory, you'll get it. 73!

Wife Tina (General Class KG5VPB) and I are barely able to get 2 faces on our Rubiks Cubes. You make it look boring at last testing. Do you have any advice, or website we may visit to get past this elementary level?
