Five minutes? Jeez, Loren, you should be able to do it in under two, unless the cube is as stiff as pitch. Just look around on the web for some solutions - the one that comes with the cube these days involves only five patterns and a huge amount of unnecessary work.

My current challenge is to randomly do six moves without looking at it, and then try to figure out how to put it back in exactly six moves. It's tougher than it sounds...
