Yeah, I noticed that they took it down. I've been trying to find another one the past few days, but all of the other online cubes I've found are insanely difficult to operate (asking you to use certain keys on the keyboard in junction with the mouse - it's a big mess). As soon as I find a new one, I'll edit the link though.

And really, once you know how to solve it, it doesn't take very long. Actually, the method I use is one of the longer methods and isn't used by speed cubers at all. However, I like it a lot better because it really teaches you how to move things around and you don't have to learn an obsessive amount of moves for all the different possibilities... it's easier to know what to do in a situation. Other methods, like the layer by layer method, I find more difficult, because in order to use it you have to memorize a ridiculous amount of moves: To get one thing accomplished you may need to learn several moves in order to compensate for all the different outcomes you're presented with.

But yeah, I'll keep working on finding a new link.
