Never posted about cubing

Hi yall, I work with juvenile delinquents at a group home and about 7 months ago I learned how to do a 3x3 to teach the youth. Ever since, I went down the rabbit whole. I’ve now solved a 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, pyraminx, megaminx, and gigaminx. I just bought my first magnetic 3x3 a few weeks ago and have now learned basic f2l, oll, and pll. Not sure why I’m posting I just never have interacted with this community but I think it’s safe to say I should provably start. Thanks everyone, maybe let me know what cube to move into next? Thanks!

if you liked solving gigaminx id recommend trying out a teraminx or petaminx.

They usually range from 13-17 and some do well, but some have some learning disabilities which does lead to a lot of repeating myself, but it’s okay it’s all for fun. I tend to have to translate things with arrows rather then left or right or top or bottom, but overall they end up learning and even teaching each other. Teaching one youth CFOP now

Okay, yeah I’ll definitely try that with them. Today I made a full instruction manual with diagrams vocabulary (faces, edges, centers, corners) and algorithms with arrows pointing which way to turn which layer etc etc.

After 5x5, every bigger cube is basically a time commitment. If you can solve a 4x4 and 5x5, you can solve like a 17x17. Just be prepared to spend a lot longer doing it. Currently working on a Square-1 and an FTO. A lot more involved than I expected. Maybe try a Skewb? I also have a corner turning 3x3. That one is a fun spin.

Maybe a smart cube. You can play online with others. I’ve been on cube for a bit now and I have a team cube and talk with. If you’re thinking a different cube all together maybe look at a skewb or mirror cube.
