    If I had a square-2, the first approach I would try to solve it with would be pretty different actually. I think I'd notice pretty early on that the edge pieces and the "half-corner" pieces are the same. So what I'd do is skip cubeshape entirely (because it's no longer a separate "shape" of the puzzle, it's more like just an arbitrary set of positions that happens to contain the solved position), and try to use a similar method to the 2x2x3: first orient everything, then permute everything.

    • @Autoskip
      @Autoskip Рік тому +2

      I know that's how I'd do it, because I tend to use comutators, and had already figured out the combos to solve the square-2 shortly after it came out of the box.
      …honestly, it's kinda frustrating - I've got thirty-something different types of rubiksoids, and it's got to the point that I can either get a puzzle that quickly becomes a trivial set of comutators, or I can get a puzzle that shape-shifts and bandages and I can't figure it out.

      That’s kinda dumb. It’d be REALLY hard to permute all the pieces, and I tried with my own square-2. You’d have to use a million commutators to do that and it’s a hundred times easier to just reduce it to a square-1 and then solving it like that.

  • @NDPuzzles
    @NDPuzzles Рік тому +27

    Interestingly, as a designer, these are one of the first puzzles that I thought about. One of the very first 3D-printed puzzles I designer was a square-4. The interesting for all Square-n puzzles is one of the simplest ones to understand and build, which is why this is a good starting point for anyone interested in puzzle design. Most square-1 mechanisms are sturdy enough to even allow for a handmod of literally sawing the pieces in half to create a fully functional Square-2. The logical continuation of a square-2 is a puzzle with 16 pieces per layer, a square-4 has 20 pieces per layer and so on.
    For the solving, the square-1 should be the hardest one by far. You can just line up the small slices of a square-2 piece by piece instead of reducing it to a square-1 which essentially is a bandaged square-2. To me that's also why the sq-1 doesn't appeal to me that much solve-wise. It is extremely difficult to find a solution due to the blocking. The puzzle that has not been mass produced so far but should is a square-equal (a square-1 with 8 pieces of the same size) which is the bigger brother of the square-0 and the smaller one of a square-2. :)

I have a banana puzzle that functions like that. It's so cool that the Square 0 is the same puzzle. I got to get one now! Then I will have three 2x2x3's. 😁

    It's interesting that the sq-2 is only (seemingly) marginally more challenging than the sq-1, like, assuming you can solve the sq-1, you could figure out the sq-2 pretty easily, which I don't think could be said for the difference between say a 3x3 and a 4x4

      Moving from 3x3 to 4x4 introduce parity problems which makes the solution more complicated but SQ1 and SQ2 has the similar parity problem so the complexity is about the same. Generally twisty puzzle is group into parity and no parity class of puzzle and parity puzzles are generally more complicated.

    3. solve the last layer with commutators (J Perm has a tutorial, or just check his square-2 video)
