Here you go.
No seriously, there are probably thousands of sites out there that can tell you how to solve the Rubiks Cube, go search.

Well; I do know how to utilize google. I was thinking more along the lines of "What methods do you use", but of course I didn't write that...

Look up the petrus method. I thought it was much more fun than other methods because you've got to think rather than repeat endless algorithms.

For those who love their layer by layer approach please assume I am joking but anyone who has tried a solution like the petrus method will know I'm not.

Oh and 4x4x4 is definitely the hardest. You are nearly finished it and then there is two edge pieces orientated the correct way but in the wrong place.

Average time of 50 sec. best time of 34 sec.

It's really not hard at all once you learn how to do it, I learned how in about two weeks.

Hey, I'm finally not the slowest Rubik's cube solver on an internet forum!

I've done a 2x2x2 in 40 seconds,
I Usually clock in at 1:00 for a 3x3x3, personal best being :43,
I can do a 4x4x4 in like, half an hour =P
and I can solve a megaminx in about 3 minutes.

Whoever doesn't know what a megaminx is, it's this:

I am solidified in my school as "The kid who can solve a rubik's cube"

After seeing this I picked mine back up, I have actually never solved one just started once and got bored. But this got me to wanting to do one so I just finished one, yay. I think tomorrow I'm gonna memorize all the stuff and try to do it a few more times.

I can solve the 3x3 (only one I've ever tried) in about 45 seconds on average. Best was 34.

3x3x3 -Best: 52
-Overall: 1:00

4x4x4 - I still have to learn parity
-Without Parity: 2:20

My best official time is 20.4 on 3x3x3

I'm hoping to get a sub 20 at the Boulder, CO tournament next month.

Here's a link to all of my official results from the past few years...

I'm glad to see so many speedcubers here!

So I have been messing with my cube, and I was walking some place solving it and it fell apart. I know how to re-assemble but one of the center pieces stems broke off.
