    Default Puzzles: Easiest to Hardest to learn?

    What puzzles are the easiest to hardest to learn for me?

    I can solve:
    megaminx
    3x3x3
    4x4x4

    and can you rate it on a scale 1-10?

    Do you mean from scratch, or with already having cube knowledge?
    If you start out, a 7x7 would be the hardest, but if you've worked with small and bigcubes before, sq1 would be the hardest, or something like a gigaminx.

    Easiest would probably be a 2x2x2.
    If you think about it, It's just the corners of a 3x3x3.
    On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd rate it 1.

    Square 1 is toughest

    Cubes 5x5x5 would be easy and once u get the concepts then nxnxn Cubes become easy.

    i wouldn't quite call it a 1...if you have never solved a 3x3x3 before, you might not realize that it is just the corners and you can assume all edges and centers are already placed. One might be intimidate by the fact that anytime you turn the cube, you turn 50% of the entire puzzle!
    Solving the first 5 sides is easy...its the sixth that really sucks.

    agreed. Pyraminx is one of the more intuitive puzzles. I learned it by myself, and my sister got it the fist time she picked it up as well several people WITHOUT me having to show how to do it.
