What is the hardest puzzle you've been able to solve on your own?

[typeman5]

pyraminx LOL.. always looked up tutorials

 

[TiLiMayor]

Wall/Burr cube, it was really interesting and once I got the hang of it, helped me understand 6x6 centres better..

 

[szalejot]

For me I will be 7x7.

tuttminx, gigaminx, pyraminx, megaminx, pyraminx crystal... pick one for me they were all super easy to solve

Most complicated puzzle would be Megaminx, but I already knew how to solve a 3x3x3 by then so it wasn't much of a struggle.

Hardest I would say is 3x3x3, I never managed to find a way of orientating last layer edges, so I basically did the F2L, then scrambled until I got a skip, which was 1 in 12 times.

I had an incredibly long A-perm before I learned shorter ones.

I usually had turned to tutorials. The only puzzles I figured out how to do by myself was 2x2, mirror blocks, floppy cube (lol), pyraminx, and 5x5 down to parity. Right now I'm trying to figure out the 3x3x2, I don't know why its giving me such a hard time.

The only puzzle I've ever solved without a guide is the Gear Ball.

I guess megaminx and bigcubes 5x5+

Oh yeah I guess pyra and skewb too

I have figured out every cube I own on my own after learning the 3x3 and the 4x4. The hardest puzzle that I own is the Crazy Mf8 3x3x3 Earth, which took me 45 minutes the first time, though it was a little bit lucky. (I get them from my parents pre-scramble by-the-way ) I really want to get Eitan's star though because it was voted the hardest to solve twisty puzzle on Twisty Puzzles forum.

The hardest puzzle I have ever physically solved is Eric's Unbandaged Rhomdo. The jumbling is quite challenging and then the pieces are in orbits that require some really strange jumbling to fix.

I'm working on unjumbling Polymaker's Split Jing's Pyraminx and although I haven't unjumbled it, much less solved it yet, it's seeming like an extremely hard puzzle. The stored cuts that are only reachable via jumbling are going to make solving it once it has been put back into shape very difficult.

enigma puzzle

 

[ottozing]

11x11? lololidk what's considered "hard"

 

[Escher]

This little ****** right here. I suck at solving things on my own, it's probably less complex than a pyraminx.

 

[guysensei1]

I solved the Mixup Cube on my own with U perms and setups. Is that good?

 

[Jakube]

I solved the helicopter cube. It took me quite a few hours to figure out, how to do commutators and how to solve parity.

Btw. I received the rainbow cube last week. Easiest puzzle ever.

 

[Atharv Goel]

FTO (Face Turning Octahedron) or a Rex Cube. They both took me more than 2 months. I think that FTO was a little bit harder 4 me than Rex.... FTO is still sitting scrambled for many months on my desk so i will say it is a Face Turning Octaehedron

 

[rsquaredcuber]

square-1, and 4x4

 

[pipkiksass]

Tricky question - I could solve a 3x3 intuitively before I learned to solve it. I worked out some moves (algs) that did things to the last layer without breaking the rest of the cube, then spammed these until it solved the cube. Sometimes I got last layers I couldn't solve, so I'd just scramble again!

Now I know how to solve a 3x3, and 4x4 parities, think I can solve any n^3 cuboid puzzle.

I figured out 5x5 using a combination of 4x4 and 3x3 methods. I didn't have to look it up, so I did it 'on my own', but my answer would be 3x3.

 

[uberCuber]

Just remembered about two more, the cubic 3x3x5 and this vertex-turning octahedron thing

Last post I swear.

I find this pretty interesting, since the FTO and the Rex cube are basically the same puzzle. And I actually found the Rex cube harder than the FTO.

I think the hardest one I figured out on my own was the Master Pentultimate. Those pentultimate corners are really rather tricky. I don't remember how I did it in the end, but I remember as soon as I finished it (on sim ofc) I looked up a much better method to solve them XD
