Rubik's Cube

I decided to have something to do during class (besides listening to the teacher) so I learned how to solve a Rubik's Cube and try to do it as fast as I can. My best time is 64 seconds. Anybody else do this? How good are you?

P.S. I know I'm a mega crazy nerd, so if you want to make fun of me save it. Besides, between coding, chess, and DDR, I had enough nerdy hobbies before this anyway :-P

Meh. I just started it up again after an absense of months, and when I took that absense I had only been playing for a few months before that.

I play on Heavy. To give you an example of my skill, I was recently happy to get a B on Can't Stop Fallin' in Love (Speed Mix).
Oh, and they tell me Drop Out is easy, but I'm happy every time I manage to beat it. That song is a workout!

That would be true, if it weren't for the fact that I'm straight.

Can you solve a Rubik's cube without guessing which way to turn the pieces? It seems too complicated to me. I've seen people on TV do it in half a minute behind their backs, so I guess it's possible.

You can quite easily if you know how.
