Actually no.
We have one of those in the bathroom and whenever I'm bored I might try it. But I still haven't solved it. Not that I'm really trying, but still.

no, thats bad, don't you take off the stickers!

if you take of the stickers and replace them, it makes them like horrible and like peeling and falling off!

if your going to cheat at least dont damage the cube, and just pop it apart and put it together right

Being a magician all I do is throw it in the air and when I catch it it's solved.

The easiest way to solve (if you aren't a magician) a rubix cube is to start with the cube not twisted at all, twisted a quarter of an inch in one direction, then twist it back.

Its really easy to break open a rubik's cube!
Step 1: Buy a bomb
Step 2: Apply bomb to rubik's cube
Step 3: Run.

Yep, several algorithms, depending on which part you're at. I can't solve one myself, but I have friends who are crazy at it. Impresses me every time, but I can never bother to learn how to do it myself. Poor cube sits on my shelf back home. :|
