hey guys,
started playing rubik's cube since i'm form 1 stopped at form 2.
fastest i can solve was less than 50 sec with F2L (first 2 layer , fredrich method (first part of fastest way to solve a cube)) apply.
to have a smooth cube, u need to disassemble the cube and apply silicon spray on the cross each side. try not to put too much coz it might make your cube too smooth. which is not good.
patience and dont rush at first, once you are familiar with the algorithms , it should be pretty easy.

my fastest was like 40sec with f2l lol
