What puzzles CAN'T you solve?

If something isn't a cubic puzzle, odds are I haven't learned to solve it. I did figure out the first two layers of a 3x3 intuitively, and I've done pyra and skewb intuitively in less than 10 minutes each, but I don't know how to solve too many puzzles. I am, and always have been, a speedsolver first and a puzzle solver second.

An embarrassing one is Magic. I couldn't even figure out how to move it.
 
Clock. Never played with one for more than 10 seconds. Still don't get how the pins interact with the dials.

Square 1. Just lazy I guess

Magic. No clue how it turns/folds.
 
I don't know if I still remember how to solve a Clock. I don't think so... And, well, I can solve pretty much any puzzle, except some cuboids.
And the 2x2 is really hard. (?)
 
I have forgotten how to solve the Square-1, but thats no wonder. I only solved it once with the help of a tutorial and even
during this step-by-step solve it popped several times. The Mf8 Square-1 with ball core is absolutely atrocious, i hate it.
 
I have a special shelf for the puzzles I've not yet been able to solve. Here they are:

- Tuttminx (so close...)
- Curvy copter (also, almost solved)
- Bermuda Earth Cube
- Dino Cube
- Latch cube (stuck on last layer)
- 2x4x6
- Smaz Time Machine (all solved apart from the numbers on the last face)
- 3x4x5
- Alexander's Star (not really tried properly yet)
- Curvy Starminx

Yeah, I admit. I can't solve a skewb either. I used to be able to, but after not solving it I forgot the algs for the last step. I really don't like skewb as an even though, mostly because I am horrible at fingertricks on it so I never really bothered to relearn them. Maybe someday I'll learn how to solve it again, but I don't ever have the intention to speedsolve it.
 
SQ-1. That thing's a jerk.
It's been 8 months since I scrambled it, and the farthest I've gotten is a U-perm away, but that was mostly by skips
