Hm, 8 minutes and 9 seconds, and 11th to finish. Which means I have to give this a 10. :-)

Took a bit of work, but definitely a good puzzle.
My only gripe is that I think the "+16" should have been slightly different. I won't post why, since it is so early, and that might be an extra hint that is not desired to be given just yet.

[4] You don't need to solve the cube in your head, but knowing what a solved cube looks like will help.

Oh, Rubik's Cube is just torture! I can do it, but it's still torture.

[7]I can't see how you can answer this without solving. But since I haven't solved it?

[9] By "solving" a cube, I get the meaning that you manipulate the sides by various twists to complete it. This puzzle could be solved just as well by taking the cube apart and reassembling it in the final position. That's what I meant by my comment in [7]

[9]If you knew what order to assemble them in that would work. Since you don't you must solve at least the yellow face to know the correct order.
[8]I agree thanks soccer_ref

Any salt once you get the numbers into position?
Edit: Wow, post and solve really does work.

I've solved enough real life cubes that getting the numbers is not a problem. What to do with them has me stumped.

[12] you can mentally disassemble in your mind based on the colors you can see on the three sides.
but I'm with the others that doesn't know what to do with my solved grid
NM: post & solve. wow that was crazy. I think that was an awesome puzzle.

Wow, definitely not too easy, but nothing too mysterious, just necessary persistence. I hope this doesn't cause a permanent mutation of my brain!
Nice puzzle m-doc!

[17] I hate to say it, but that's DUH salt.... given the + and -, we already know that? Relative to WHAT is the problem.

Excellent puzzle. Don't know why there aren't more solvers except that some people may have been scarred at a young age by the cube.
Do not fear! You don't need to actually solve using the rubik's cube suggested method of spinning the thing!

I still don't get it... I've tried using items, names, nationalities, etc.

Wow...4 days later, and number 89. Nice puzzle, but the hard part for me was figuring out what to do with the numbers since, well, there's like a babillion ways of using numbers like that.
