My best 3x3 was 31 seconds, but I haven't practiced in awhile so now I'd probably be luck if I could get under a minute.

its really not that bad to learn i recommend a beginner method to start probly dan brown he does pretty good for a tutorial on how to solve a cube with his method i got my solve time down to about a little over a minute and now fridrich f2l i got down to like 40-45 seconds heres the vids of dan browns method pretty easy to learn you just have to work on solving it a couple of times and not thinking of learn the algorithms and if you just work on actually doing them you can get them in muscle memory and it also helps to watch where the pieces are going to recognized the moves more

Could someone give me some tips on how to solve a rubik's cube? Not as in do this, then that, then this, but what the general technique is? I want to solve it using mind skills, not by following instructions.

Most people generally solve by layer. like you would finish a face making sure that all the edges were in the correct spots, then you solve the middle layer, then you solve the top. The bottom layer is pretty intuitive, but the other layers require algorithms which with enough time you can come up with on your own. I used a tutorial to solve the 3x3 but I made up my own method for the megaminx.

This video is more than three years old, but it's me, solving a cube. I'm a bit faster now though ^^
