Solving the first two layers at the same time is different than your method. Concentrate on making a cross on the top face and then getting the corners and the side edges in place together _at the same time_. This is called F2L (First Two Layers).
Even cheap cubes are fine to learn on. You'll probably make a significant improvement in your time by cleaning and greasing it. Most people use silicon spray to lubricate the cube. You'd need to do this even with a better cube. - Matt On 1/19/06, twekerr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Oh yeah and by the way, I'm sure alot of you guys told yourself "3:38 > is slow, but the fact is that my rubik cube is realy cheap, I bought > it for 1$ to see if I would like solving it, and I do, so I'm planning > on getting a good one tomorow or so, I'll post my time once I get it > > > > > ------------------------------ > YAHOO!
