Next up: Square-3 Narrow the corners, widen the edges and split the edges into two. - Just a thought

[@legendgames128]

Or (like they did with the corners on the top and bottom layers) slice moves on the edge of the middle layer.

[@NDPuzzles]

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. :)

[@akshajanujsamaiya2047]

No one is gonna read that... I almost passed out doing it

[@SimonTiger]

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]

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.

[@olivesttree]

As a person who has dementia, I can’t become a cuber.

[@LuukZOld]

@@olivesttree oof man that must be rough

[@trickshotworld3369]

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.

1:32 You can also change the color scheme on a 4x4 Fisher Cube. Also the corner twisting Dino cube can do it as well. That's so cool that the Square 2 can do that. I love my 2x2x3. 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. 😁

Square -1: The top and bottom are fully flat with 1 slice layer at an angle through the middle, and the middle of the cube instead of being your main slicer, now has different parts and shapes. I feel like it would be pretty easy but fun to figure out

[@balintlaczko4086]

Square-2 can easily be solved in 3 steps: 1. solve half a layer 2. solve half a layer on the other side, then put the 2 together (the two half layers should be both white or both yellow) 3. solve the last layer with commutators (J Perm has a tutorial, or just check his square-2 video) I know this is not the best, but it is easy for people who don't have square-1 knoweledge.
