square 2 enjoyers when they pronounce a move wrong and their rubik's cube collection starts levitating

Next up: Square-3
Narrow the corners, widen the edges and split the edges into two.
- Just a thought

If I had a square-2, the first approach I would try to solve it with would be pretty different actually. I think I'd notice pretty early on that the edge pieces and the "half-corner" pieces are the same. So what I'd do is skip cubeshape entirely (because it's no longer a separate "shape" of the puzzle, it's more like just an arbitrary set of positions that happens to contain the solved position), and try to use a similar method to the 2x2x3: first orient everything, then permute everything.

Interestingly, as a designer, these are one of the first puzzles that I thought about. One of the very first 3D-printed puzzles I designer was a square-4. The interesting for all Square-n puzzles is one of the simplest ones to understand and build, which is why this is a good starting point for anyone interested in puzzle design. Most square-1 mechanisms are sturdy enough to even allow for a handmod of literally sawing the pieces in half to create a fully functional Square-2. The logical continuation of a square-2 is a puzzle with 16 pieces per layer, a square-4 has 20 pieces per layer and so on.
For the solving, the square-1 should be the hardest one by far. You can just line up the small slices of a square-2 piece by piece instead of reducing it to a square-1 which essentially is a bandaged square-2. To me that's also why the sq-1 doesn't appeal to me that much solve-wise. It is extremely difficult to find a solution due to the blocking. The puzzle that has not been mass produced so far but should is a square-equal (a square-1 with 8 pieces of the same size) which is the bigger brother of the square-0 and the smaller one of a square-2. :)

1:32 You can also change the color scheme on a 4x4 Fisher Cube. Also the corner twisting Dino cube can do it as well. That's so cool that the Square 2 can do that. I love my 2x2x3. I have a banana puzzle that functions like that. It's so cool that the Square 0 is the same puzzle. I got to get one now! Then I will have three 2x2x3's. 😁

Dude, the fact that i come back every year to watch the pi video means you are incredible. Keep up the good work!!

When I first got into cubing in middle school, my pe coach gave me a square 2 and asked if I could solve it, I said maybe and tried and figured it out after a few days

Square -1:

The top and bottom are fully flat with 1 slice layer at an angle through the middle, and the middle of the cube instead of being your main slicer, now has different parts and shapes. I feel like it would be pretty easy but fun to figure out

Nice! There are certain non WCA puzzles I wish were produced in stickerless and not stickered.

I think these puzzles would be fun as an official wca puzzle

The reason the sq0 have magnet like a sq1 is because they have the same core. they made it possible to swap pieces with the other two puzzle a (sq1 and sq2) and make some strange new fused puzzle.
