A while ago I built a simple Flash app for people who can solve a Rubik’s Cube (or other cube brand). Other apps that I’ve seen require that you use the mouse to click the start and stop buttons. That can add a few extra seconds to your time. On my solution, the Cube Clock, the time starts when you pick up the cube from the keyboard, releasing the space bar. Then when you’re finished solving the cube, just tap the space bar again and the timer will stop.
Some timers have a feature that allow you to examine the cube for 15 seconds before the time starts. I might add that feature into the next version (if there is a next version). So, get your cube out and try out this timer. And be sure to post your time in the comments area.
2:15. I’m rusty and my cube doesn’t move like it used to. (I used to be in the 40 second range). Time to lube the cube.
