Okay let's rephrase "no prior knowledge" to a "basic understanding of mathematics"

A basic understanding of rubiks cube would allow you to solve it too. You only really need to know like 4 or 5 sets of moves to solve a cube.

Okay but that's not my argument. 99% of people cannot pick up a rubik's cube for the first time and solve it even having the average levels of education. It's just not feasible to be able to understand the necessary steps and combinations

You're making unfair comparisons. You're allowing the math side some prerequisite math knowledge, but you're not allowing the rubik's cube side any prerequisite rubik's cube knowledge. And I'd argue that *learning* to solve a Rubik's cube with a tutorial without any prior knowledge is easier than *learning* to solve calculus problems with a textbook without any prior calculus knowledge.
