Interesting, I would think that the 3rd layer would be the easiest for beginners. If you ever feel like trying again feel free to pm me :p

Yeah solving it without following any method probably actually requires you to be a genius or something lol
I love the established speedcubing strategies tho, it basically changes it from being a puzzle you’re trying to solve into being similar to a rogue-like video game where you get a new “map” each time. Totally different skillset but also super rewarding in its own way

I’ve never actively tried to solve one. I’ve done it a couple of times but it’s just from blind fidgeting. I actually broke my first one from use. Actually not true, my first one ever I took apart at 11 years old to see how it worked. Didn’t disappoint.
I spent some time in Budapest years ago and bought a sweet ass rubics box or whatever. Locals said dude that invented it was from there? Some dude on the street was making them and back then my American money made me nearly wealthy by exchange so I paid him more than double what he asked and I still felt I was ripping him off. Couldn’t believe the intricate work like that for such a small amount of money at the time. Wish I still had that box.
