- happyscrappy 12y agoClick outside the cube to rotate the whole cube. If anyone has time to solve it please post a screen shot.

- tripa 12y agoUse the keyboard! Once you got the focus out of the instant search box, all of the following work almost as you expect: UuRrLlFfDdBb for face rotation, MmEeSs for slice rotations and XxYyZz for cube rotations. (upper-case for clockwise, lower-case for counterclockwise) I got it down to 19 seconds using the optimal solution from http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?47666-Google-Doodle-Rubik-s-Cube&p=979211&viewfull=1#post979211 http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?47666-Googl... I'm not doing it again, the interface is too frustrating.
- atom-morgan 12y agoI should have known better. Thanks. It's a shame the cube always scrambles to the same state.

- outericky 12y agoWhen I was 5, my parents promised me a Rubik's cube if I came along with them and moved to the United States. I never realized it was a fairly new product back then. 40 yrs and still going strong - how many other "toys" have those legs?
- chiph 12y agoSadly, my original cube from 1980 broke last year. The plastic just gave way on the center rotating "star" and it came apart. :( I bought a new one, but it's much harder to turn. I think I may have put some Vaseline in the original to lubricate it, but it's been too many years to remember. I wonder if Dr. Rubik is getting his royalties now that the Soviet Union is gone (The story I heard was that the Soviets kept all the royalties, giving him a relatively generous salary in return).
- atom-morgan 12y agoI'd recommend a silicone based lubricant. Jig-a-loo works very well. I used to compete, so I've used a few.
- ExpiredLink 12y ago> I wonder if Dr. Rubik is getting his royalties now that the Soviet Union is gone He is from Hungary. The cube made him a wealthy man even before the iron curtain went down.
- peapicker 12y agoI still have my 1980's one -- it is pretty beat up. Seriously, though, buy a DaiYan Guhong or DiaYan Zhanchi speedcube. They are sooo much more enjoyable to use than the official Rubik's cube. (Then again, if you're like me, they will just add to the pile of cubes...)
- aadilrazvi 12y agoAfter solving the cube, it doesn't let you share the completed screenshot...
