@sachac yeah, I guess my problem is that I really only know 3 algorithms for the 3-cube, which is enough to solve it, but I should probably learn more if I want to solve it faster. I know all algorithms are basically "merging" of those basic 3 algorithms, but it limits my ability to recognize patterns and determine which algorithm to apply.
