How do you fix a rubix cube if you peel of the stickers?
*Rubik's Cube
You can't fix it. better buy a new one... after peeling off the stickers the first time, they're just going to fall off repeatedly.
If you don't want to legitly solve the cube, it's better to take it apart than peel off the stickers. Just match the colours, how much harder can it be?
How do you properly shuffle a rubix cube?
There is no proper way. Just mess around with it for long enough and it'll be sufficiently scrambled.
Where do you find a Rubik's cube?
wal mart? zellers? toys r us? a dollar store? anywhere that sells toys, i guess...
Where can i get silicone spray for my rubik's cube?
Do not use silicone spray!! it will ruin your cube and you will have to spray it very often. go to cube4u.com and buy a bottle of cube lube, it will cost about as much as a can of silicone and it works a lot better! I haven't oiled my cube in like 7 months and it is still perfect!! i would also recommend buying a do-it-yourself (diy) cube where you build it yourself. It is very easy to do and it they are amazing cubes! But they don't come with the best stickers in the world, but they do additionally sell some really good stick on tiles that I really liked.
What are you talking about? Silicon spray is excellent, it's what most speedcubers use! It won't ruin your cube as it isn't oil- or petroleum-based. However, do NOT use petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or WD-40. Jig-a-loo is an excellent brand of silicon spray, but any 100% silicon spray will work. Get it at Home Depot or any hardware store. Completely disassemble the cube, arrange the pieces, and and spray each side one time, letting it dry for 10 minutes in between sprays. Never apply the spray to the core or center cubies. Then reassemble the cube, play with it for half an hour, then let it sit and dry for another half hour. Your cube may be a tad slower at first, but it will speed up considerably as the silicon works it's magic. BTW, don't breath in the spray. It's poisonous, so only use it in a well ventilated area.
Probably what happened to the first guy is that he bought some silicon that was not 100% silicon. I looked at some in walmart and it was petroleum based.I have not yet looked in a hardware store yet but I will. So , apparently there is Petroleum based silicon and 100% silicon.Always check the ingredients.

If you want a real brand Rubik's Cube look on the white side and if the middle sticker has Rubik Cube on it its a real Rubik's cube. if you want to find the difference between a model Rubik's cube and a working one, see if you can turn it. if you cant its a model.
How do you get the small T on a Rubik's Cube?
Well basically you have to solve the first layer of the cube. Because if you do that all of the corners and middle pieces are in the right place and are aligned with the centre pieces. And that way, you will get the T but the rest of the cube will be unsolved.

What is DI LI UI RI mean on a Rubiks cube?
DI,LI,UI,and RI mean down inverted, Left inverted, up inverted, and right inverted (DI you turn the downside or bottom of the cube counter clockwise, LI means you turn the left side of the cube counter clockwise, UI means you turn the top of the cube counter clockwise, and RI means that you turn the right side of the cube counterclockwise.) so if one of the notations has an I after it, that means that you must turn that side of the cube counter clock wise.

A cube has length, width height.
5x5x5 is correct, 5x5 is 2D, and incorrect.
We cubers do call it a 5x5 cube just to shorten the name, but it is really supposed to be 5x5x5.
->OP: I'm sure you can find the answer somewhere on google.

What is the best 5x5 and cheapest rubik's cube?
Out of the 3 best: V-cube, Rubik's, and Eastsheen, the V-cube is best, followed by Eastsheen, then Rubik's is the worst of the 3. Get yourself a V-cube from their website.
Different Answer:
It's definitely personal preference.
I, myself agree that the V-Cube is the best, however, the Rubik's brand and Eastsheen do not compare to the newer cubes in the market. A simple Google search of V-Cube knockoffs will send you into the direction of better cubes. The downfall, of course, is that they are knockoff puzzles, so depending on your values, you may or may not accept them.

I hope you mean the pyraminx?
Youtube videos are available.
To solve, just attempt to align the colours on each side. Atleast simple knowledge of solving the 3x3 may be useful (Generally the R U R' group, if you know how to apply it)
