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

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!

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
