Apparently there's a set of step you repeat and eventually it'll come out perfect.

Me, I just rip out the colours and stick them on the way they were when i bought them.

I haven't been trusted with one since I ripped the stickers off and put them on where they wer esupposed to be to comlete the cube when I was 6 or 7, and therefore messing up the cube.
haha that's what happened to mine too, except it wasn't me who did it, it was my little bro. what a waste too!

a good way to solve them is to peel off all the stickers and stick them back on so its solved

It's relatively easy to solve one side, but of course, after that, it becomes progressively harder.

Maybe the idea is to do all side at once??

I have a rubicks cube. I fucked it up shortly after I bought it, so I took all the stickers off and made them right again. Now it stays right, untill I find the formulas to fix it, then I'll fuck it up again for my amusement

Nah you solve one side, and then mix it up to progressively solve a side adjacent to it, and when that's done you've solved the cube.
