it’s kind of like a video game in that each next part takes a lot of tries and patience bcus it’s a completely new task or challenge ur facing, and u have to restart probably a lot, but after so many times u will know how to •beat• the first levels/steps so well and, perhaps, have a deeper understanding of /why/ certain moves work. and u can apply that skill in the next parts!
i looked up & nearly memorized an alg like last year and had always regretted not trying from scratch and like playing around with my cube on my own first til i made progress. but now i’ve forgot certain steps or tricks to it so i’ve been trying to supplement my solving using trial and error and some mathematical imagination. i really recommend this process
