I 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!
