I am talking about cube theory. Solving it isn’t that hard unless you want to be super efficient. But formalizing it in way you can then reason about seems very hard to me.


Ryan Heise's site is a good place to start with this:

From there you should have enough of an understanding to start Googling things, playing with a cube, and Learning the Heise method: https://www.ryanheise.com/cube/heise_method.html


Is solving it not that hard?! I chipped away at it for a year before I figured out a (really inefficient) technique.


I remember after a few weeks I figured out a move that could swap two pieces without other changes or something like that (don't remember the details). It was horribly inefficient but it did the job.
