Rubik's Ice Cube Solved

Recently I finally managed to memorize the algorithms and possible arrangements to solve my Rubik's 2x2x2 Ice Cube. While I'm not doing it super fast (around 45 seconds), I can solve it consistently and without any aid from my source websites. Also, for the record, my average best time with the 3x3x3 is now at 90 seconds, which isn't bad, but might be about as fast as I'm going to be able to go without greasing my cube for speed.

So, with all this accomplished, I think it's fair time to move onto the 4x4x4 Rubik's Revenge. The problem is that they're hard to find in stores (demand isn't high, as most people find the 3x3x3 hard enough to satisfy their Rubik's needs), so I'll probably have to order it online. Fortunately, if I keep needing bigger and bigger cubes, a Greek inventor has come up with a way to make cubes as big as 11x11x11, and although these won't be released for some time, his 7x7x7 will be out in September!
