The Rubik's Impossible is a 3x3 Rubik's puzzle cube with a very high challenge level. It is just like the classic Rubik's Cube, but it changes colors depending on the angle. Just when it looks like the Rubik's Impossible is solved, look again.
In images and illustrations of the Rubik's cubes, common mistakes can occur where multiples of the same color appear incorrectly. These include two of the same color on a single edge or corner piece, or more than one center color on the cube, as each center has its own color. This is unsolvable.
The Super flip pattern is arguably the most challenging pattern to solve on a Rubik's Cube. The pattern involves turning every single piece on the Cube except for one. It requires solving the Cube in a specific way, where all corners are twisted 180 degrees, and seven edges are flipped.
In the end, Mirror is a little harder the Rubik's because you can only tell if pieces go together when you actually put them together. However, once you jump the learning curve, it's more fun than the Rubik's because it's a much more tactile experience.
The superflip is often dubbed the hardest scramble. It is basically the solved cube but with all edges flipped.
Despite its level of difficulty, the Ghost Cube is just a 3×3 shape modification. What makes it so difficult is the similarity of pieces and the fact that the layers are offset. This means that you have to partially turn the bottom and top layers before you can even begin scrambling the puzzle.
Pyraminx Duo
This variation might be the easiest of them all. The Pyramix Duo is another puzzle where the pieces are connected through the edges. Even if you have little to no experience with Rubik's cubes, you can quickly solve a Pyramix Duo in just four moves.
Skewb is, algorithmically speaking, quite easily solvable. There are many tutorials and articles available on the internet that mention the use of many different algorithms. However, the steps covered in this article are more user-friendly in terms of the number of algorithms.
As of June 2023, the 3x3x3 world record single in competition is 3.13 seconds, set by Max Park in the Pride in Long Beach 2023. The 3x3x3 world record for a trimmed average of five solves is 4.69 seconds, set by Yiheng Wang, a 9-year-old cubing prodigy from China.
The Rubik's Cube can most definitely be solved without memorizing any algorithms. After all, Erno Rubik had to solve it on his own the first time he scrambled his puzzle! Commutators are a very useful tool in this case.
In accordance with regulation 5b3c: “If the puzzle is unsolvable, and can be made solvable by rotating a single corner piece, the competitor may correct the corner piece by twisting it in place without disassembling the puzzle.” If you twist multiple corners even if the cube is still solvable, it will result in a DNF.
Therefore ignoring the for all intents and purposes identical, centre squares and orientations of the cube, the cube has 519,024,039,293,878,272,000 possible states. The probability of solving it on any given random move is therefore 1 in 519 billion billion.
Pyraminx puzzles are generally pretty easy, and the 2x2 pyraminx is even easier. If you're looking for a puzzle to give to someone that is into pyraminx or likes to figure out puzzles without any help, this one is the best choice.
Solving a Pyraminx or triangle cube is much easier than solving a Rubik's cube.
2x2x2 is not just edge-less, but also center-less; basically a corner-only 3x3x3. Pyraminx is indeed super easy.

Hasbro 3X3 Classic Rubik's Cube
This is the Rubik's Cube that started it all, the classic 3X3X3 licensed by Hasbro is the official Rubik's cube and one of the best if you are buying for a beginner. This particular cube also comes with a guide to help those in solving the cube their first time.
The 100x100x100 Rubik's Cube is a theoretical Rubik's Cube with 100 layers, unlike the normal Rubik's Cube, with only 3. The pure immensity of this Rubik's Cube assembled requires you to assemble 58,808 (fifty-eight thousand eight hundred and eight) parts, which are only the visible parts.
One of the most frequently asked questions by beginners about this event is "Is it difficult to solve a square-1? ". In short, no! One of the prerequisites for solving a square -1 is knowing how to solve a 3x3 speedcube and to have a general understanding of notations and moves.
The Mirror Cube is an unofficial puzzle. It has pieces of different shapes which allows it to shape shift. When you scramble it, the puzzle takes a chaotic form and loses its cubic shape which makes the solving process quite complicated.
The fastest time to solve a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube blindfolded is 12.78 seconds, achieved by Tommy Cherry (USA) at the 4BLD in a Madison Hall 2023 event in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, on 28 January 2023. Cherry has held this record since July 2021. He beat his own record of 12.97 seconds, achieved on 10 December 2022.
