The Rubik's Cube! One of my good friends had learned how to solve it about a year ago and offered to show me. I recently took him up on his offer and brought one of his cubes back to school with me. I'm still getting comfortable with the algorithms, but my best solve time so far is 3:07. I had a good run going today, around 2:20, but messed it up right at the end. I use www.cubetimer.com to time.
The hardest part about using the real Rubik's Cube is that you must have it lined up perfectly to spin it. It makes it hard to solve it fast. I just ordered a speed cube which seem to have slightly more lenient tolerances, making it easier to spin. I'm thinking once it comes in I'll definitely be able to break the 2 minute barrier.
