Maybe something you learned the hard way, or something you found out right before making a huge mistake.

E.g., for audiophiles: don’t buy subwoofers from speaker companies, and don’t buy speakers from subwoofer companies.

    Definitely! Check out AliExpress, Moyu do some really reasonably priced cubes up to ~11x11 - 13x13, starts to get really pricey at 15x15 and above (although tbh there’s not much new after a 7x7/9x9). Megaminx is fun because you can pretty much use knowledge from cubes to get you to maybe the last 3 steps you just have to rethink how you apply the algos you know!

    The other interesting thing with big cubes for me was realising I’d essentially forgotten how to solve a 3x3, because I couldn’t finger trick/abuse the cube in the same way it forced me to think about which algos I wanted to apply and I realised I was solving the 3x3 on pretty much muscle memory alone 😂

      Great tip! Although I prefer to support my local cube stores to be honest.

      Interesting! I’ll have to look at a tutorial for that some day. 😊

      Definitely the case for a lot of my algorithms, especially the longer ones! It’s to the point where if I don’t do them fast enough I get confused and it breaks apart and I get lost. And that’s like 10 seconds of punishment just there, or at least can be. 😅
