If so what is it? I was wondering what in your opinion is the hardest rubiks like cube available right now. On a web page several people from rated the greatest to least in difficulty: 1)square-1 2)megaminx 3)5x5x5 4)4x4x4 5)? 6)? Anyway it went something like that. Would you agree? I learnt how to do square-1 all by myself. Would you consider Square-1 one of the hardest cubes to do? If so would this be considered good of me to learn? Although I only tried about 4 times my record when it was in a cube is 2 minutes. Do you know of a world record for Square-1 or any good websites? Do you know what an average would be for the best time? (perhaps 90 seconds for those really into it?) I was wondering how this compares to others times and acomplishments. At http://byrden.com/puzzles/ I almost figured out the megaminx. I got everything except the last row. Is the Megaminx one of the hardest Rubiks like puzzles available? After I get bored of my 5x5x5 that I orderd thinking about buying the megaminx. Do you know of a world record on the megaminx? What would be a average time (perhaps 3-4 minutes?) If you are not sure of answers thats fine. Then do you know of any good websites I can go to? Thank you very much.
