Everyone one of the editors at Engadget has an Uncle John, and every one of them did the sticker trick? LOL

I have an Uncle John. I'll have to ask him about the trick this Christmas.]]>Aug 10th 2010 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/
No, not one. It would just be already solved.

And my method of throwing the cube to the floor so it breaks and I could rebuild it piece by piece wont count either :)

just a hint. you don't want to think about solving in terms of sides. think of it in terms of layers. this way, when you build each layer by layer, you get a completed cube. doing it by sides increases the complexity of the puzzle (actually, i'm not even sure it can be solved if you do it side by side).]]>Aug 10th 2010 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/]]>Aug 10th 2010 6:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/

I have one of the originals that used plastic color pieces instead of cheap stickers. So, instead of removing stickers, you had to take apart each plastic cube and snap them back in.

End result is the same. :)]]>Aug 9th 2010 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/Aug 9th 2010 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/Aug 9th 2010 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/rubiks-cube-solved-in-twenty-moves-35-years-of-cpu-time/
