I don't really have alot of puzzles to start with....
But the day I got my 2x2 I was playing with it and solved it accidentally later that day I solved it with the help of some 3x3 algs so I guess I could so I figured it out...

 

[Nestor]

2x2, 2x2x3, 4x4, 5x5, and a bunch of 3x3 mech based variants.

I don't own a megaminx or a pyraminx but by just looking at pictures, I think I can solve them

The square-1 did made me go online for help dam paritiy

2x2, 5x5, 7x7, Megaminx.

I only have 3x3 4x4 and 7x7, but I figure I can solve a 6x6 with knowledge of 4x4 and 7x7, and I solved my friend's megaminx once.

I solved the 7x7 by myself, but one the last two centers I watched some people solve it, (Very carefully), but still did not look up a tutorial, so I think that counts.

 

[Rpotts]

^ you can definitely solve a pyraminx, and probably a megaminx, maybe not the last layer.

Siamese Quad 2x2
2x2
Megaminx
Pyraminx
Clock

Though with most puzzles, if you know how to solve a 3x3, they're easy to solve XD

 

[Kynit]

Certainly most proud of my minxing: I have solved both a megaminx and a gigaminx without any help at all.

...that's about it, though

 

[Cubenovice]

Megaminx as of today

 

[Ickathu]

Pyraminx, Megaminx, Square-1, and 7x7!
At the time that I figured them all out, I already knew other cubes. So, for 7x7, I already knew how to do 5x5, so it was just bigger. Pyraminx is easy. Megaminx is just a weird 3x3 from my POV. Sq-1 was hard, but I figured out all the algs on my own from random turning (Including getting it to square, and parity. My parity alg took FOREVER! I then learned a new, faster, parity alg afterwards.)

 

[gbcuber]

I developed my own method to solve the jing's pyraminx, it was relatively easy to be honest.

Ten Billion Barrel from Nintendo. Hardest puzzle I've solved so far...
I also tried it blindfolded (after one week of trying to come up with a decent system): 3 DNFs so far...

 

[Achifaifa]

Only the megaminx. But I used the 3x3 algorithms I knew from 3x3 tutorials when I started, so I guess that counts as help (Same for the 2x2). I could figure out almost all the 4x4 except one alg and how to solve the parity.

Oh, and also a puzzle I have around here, I don't even know how it's called, but it was so damn easy.

I have tremendous respect for people who solved the sq-1 completely without help.

 

[Cheese11]

I solved 2x2, 4x4 (Except for oll parity), Pyraminx, and 5x5 by myself.

I have tremendous respect for people who solved the sq-1 completely without help.

Oh me too, it took me 2 weeks to figure out WITH a tutorial.

I have tremendous respect for people who solved the sq-1 completely without help.

Exactly what I was about to say. I would hope they spent quite a bit of time with it, otherwise I must be a moron for not understanding the shape-shift used to cycle the pieces.

Definitely. As you saw above, I did figure it out. I took it apart at least 20 times, reassembling it properly to see what an alg did. I spent at least 2 weeks of intense focus on it. I still have the paper with all my algs. It was complicated to say the least. My method was not fast at all. First I made it square. Next I solved each corner piece, one at a time. After that, I solved all the edges, one at a time. I had one alg that cycled around 3 edges so I could insert them with (1,0)/(-1,1)/... My parity alg did what it was supposed to, but completely messed up the rest of my pieces, the only thing preserved was the layer each piece was on. Luckily though, I would then start solving it again and would not have parity. My first timed solve took me 8 minutes, I think...

 

[ben1996123]

2x2, 6x6, 7x7, pyraminx crystal

2x2xn, 3x3xn, crazy 4x4 1, 11x11, gigaminx, teraminx, 4x4bld, 5x5bld, jings pyraminx, 15 puzzle, 3x3 shape mods, clock, rainbow cube, face turning octahedron, up to LL on megaminx, up to EP on square 1.

But not pyraminx.

 

[mmitchev]

2x2 was easy
pyraminx i just kept solving sides till it was solved
megaminx took me at least 40 minutes the first time i solved it, i think i just got lucky.
