There are two main ways that I know of: the by layers way and the recursive way. To get the actual algorithms for the by layers way go to: http://www.ws.binghamton.edu/fridrich/Mike/middle.html", although I would recommend actually trying to solve it yourself for a month first so you don't spoil it for yourself. The one main thing newcomers get stuck on is the logic: solve one side, solve another side, solve another side...sigh; this does not work. Watch this video part1 and 2 and you should learn : http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=HsQIoPyfQzM
Any 3x3 Rubik's cube can be solved in 20 or less moves, so God's number is 20.
There is an amazing website that I have found that is wonderfully concise with it's complete animated illustrations of moves that can be used to solve the Rubik's cube. Click on the related link.

Erik Akkersdijk holds the record for the 3x3 Rubik's cube, solving it in 7.08 seconds. Kowalski
erno Rubik invented the 2x2 - pocket cube 3x3 - Rubik's cube or magic cube 4x4 - Rubik's revenge 5x5 - professor's cube Rubik twist-snake Rubik's magic-the foldable sheet puzzle
It does work.
I used this series of video's on YouTube.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4hXzxcRtTY&feature=channel but if you don't like to learn it from a video, use this website: http://www.speedcubing.com/chris/4-solution.html I highly recommand to first learn how to solve a 3x3 Rubik's Cube, because at some point of the 4x4 you have to solve it the way like a 3x3, and that part is not in the video or at the website.
The smallest Rubik cube is the 2x2x2 cube and it is by far the easiest
From my personal experience, the amount the 3x3 Rubik's cube "teased my brain" would be at about a 5/10.
no!
This skills that someone has to solve a Rubik's cube can be used on any size Rubik's cube, whether it be a 2x2 or a 5x5.
The minimum IQ required to solve a Rubik's Cube is not specifically defined. Solving a Rubik's Cube is more about logic, spatial reasoning, and practice rather than IQ level. People of various IQ levels can learn to solve the Rubik's Cube with dedication and practice.
