I've looked all over the internet, the solution guide, and still can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Take your pick. I bought the book The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube, way back in the 80's. I used to solve it in 3 mins. or less.

Route 1 is actually to prise the cube apart with a blunt knife then all the blocks can be re-assembled & then clicked back into place.
I think.

agreed - the "removing stickers" option leaves the stickers looking are ruffled and makes it obvious what you have done.

My solution may make the blocks a bit wobbly & also suffers from the fact that you can't actually solve the puzzle in front of anyone, but instead have to disappear into another room for a couple of minutes with a knife before returning with the completed puzzle.

Apart from those minor problems its a winner!

Minor setbacks... That's all!

After using the cube for a while you won't even need a knife. Or maybe your cube was just better quality than those I had.

I use a layer by layer method which is probably the simplest method out there. Took me about 3 hours to memorize about 15 algorithms (or move combinations) to solve the cube in any state.

This is the method Will Smith used to solve the cube when he was promoting his movie In Pursuit of happiness on Oprah.

I've seen people solve the thing in less than a minute with this way. Me, I average about a minute in a half.

I got most of my algorithms from this site: http://www.geocities.com/jasmine_ellen/RubiksCubeSolution.html
