    First off, technique, style, and execution. When you're tackling it with just one hand, you've got to master a whole new set of moves and figure out the best way to grip the Rubik's cube single-handedly. Also, turning the cube with one hand is definitely not as fast as using both hands. That's why, in tournaments, they keep these categories separate. You're playing by a different set of rules when you're going solo. But the most interesting thing is that I know someone who can solve the Rubik's cube faster with one hand than they can with two, which is fascinating.

    No. Any unsolved cube will work. A new one can work, too.
  • Question
    Can every scrambled cube be solved with these 20 moves? Does it matter which side is top and which is face, or can we use any random position?

    This method works only if the cube is already solved. Then if you scramble it using this method, you can solve it using the same method.

    It didn't work for me and I don't think this method will work on every scrambled cube. Isn't the CFOB method best to solve a cube in under a minute?
