2 months agoI was super into them as a teenager, learned to solve the usual 3x3 and even bigger the usual way, i.e. mostly by memorising a bunch of algorithms (tonnes of “beginner” tutorials out there). After not touching them for over a decade I was disappointed that I had forgotten most of how to do it! Now I’ve re-learned and finding a way that relies on understanding or intuition so that I don’t have to worry about algorithms or memorisation, I feel like this is a much nicer way to learn to do it!
Not sure if Portugal is the type of European country you imagine, but last month on a train I sat one row ahead of a child that would excidetly exclaim “another train!” (in Portuguese) every time one passed outside the window. Adorable!
