I have had learning how to solve a Rubick's Cube on my bucket list ever since my childhood. For some reason I never tackled this. Until now. Got myself one the day before yesterday, worked through the official guide after work and during some breaks, tried again and again, memorized the algorithms.
And just now I finally did it without help, twice 😊 More practice is surely needed for further memorization, but: Achievement unlocked!
@foosel Congratulations! Now that you can solve it from memory I encourage you to keep at it until you can solve it from muscle memory. Once you get to that point you will be able to solve one even if you don't try for years. That is also when speed cubing lookahead and other optimizations will start to kick in.
I love sometimes solving a cube as a background task while listening in a meeting (as long as the cube sound isn't distracting).
