That is for everything speed cube related. What method are you using?

I just saw a 2x2 Rubik’s Cube in a local store. Since I have no experience with cubing and doubt I want to get into hardcore cubing, would this be good choice for a newb just wanting something to fool around with? Is even a 2x2 really difficult?

2x2 is trivial to solve if you already know the advanced 3x3 CFOP method. If you don’t, then you can still learn to solve it with just a few algorithms, though you’d be spamming those same algorithms over and over and over until it is solved, which can get tedious after a while.

You don’t have to go all “hardcore” with a 3x3; you can learn to solve it with a “beginner method” that only involves a couple of triggers and a few algorithms. You won’t be solving it super fast, but you’d still have the satisfaction of being able to solve it any time you want.

Yea but even though I think the real fun comes in when doing cfop doing a pll algorithm super fast and seeing the cube solved is so satisfying. But that’s your decision

I think you would get very frustrated very quickly. The Rubik’s cube is not a puzzle you can just “figure out” unless you are a savant with twisty puzzles.

Here I am again. 😄 need help with Blindfolded I just can’t get it down especially with flipped edges and the buffer in the right place is making me confused. Also with corners if you have the buffer pice at right place two times I can’t visualize how the buffer is flipped at it’s new place. Pleeeese help me

I needed a way to keep my SpeedCubeShop lubes organized and easily accessible so I made my own lube holder. The modular design makes it easy to add more bottles as needed.

Anyone doing blindfolded here?
