Eh nice. When summer holidays come I will try. I have some crappy Rubiks (small or kinda need oil) but some extra challenge is healthy.

Is impression of mine or Rubiks with images on each face instead of a colour are harder? (you have to rotate the one of 9 image piece correctly)

In 3x3x3 cubes the pieces all have an unique position and orientation for a solution, I think, so it shouldn't be harder.

The picture ones actually are a little harder because now the centers have to be the correct rotation.  Its fairly easy though, you just have to pay attention to it when solving it the regular way.

for some reasons, seeing how slow I am at solving puzzles like picture sliders (such as the one when pressing two buttons when riding Final Fantasy I airship) I wonder how I would solve a rubik cube in under 10 minutes D:

From what I've read they are harder since the rotation of the image could be wrong even if you get it back in the same position. With cubes having only solid colors on the faces, you don't have to worry about rotation, just color positions and orientations.

I guess you could confirm whether this is true or not by putting a regular (colors-only) Rubik's cube in the solved position and marking little arrows on the pieces pointing the same direction, then scramble and resolve it to see if the arrows end up not pointing the same directions even if the color positions/orientations are correct.

They can be rotated. My sis got one that had faces on all of the squares, and my dad solved it with one of them sideways.

I never really got into puzzles, but I am a big board-game freak.

The last time I solved a Rubik's cube, I simply disassembled it and put it together in the desired order. :P

If I ever feel like it, I may try to do better. So far I do it by the techniques in the solutions manual, which I memorised. Since those techniques aren't optimal, I could obviously do better. Some day, maybe...
