It's just a 2x2, should be easy right? Nope. If you're used to using CFOP, you're algorithms won't work, unless you're really good at doing them slow or follow a written set of turns. The strange shapes of the pieces really messes up muscle memory. But before you can even think about moving pieces around, you have to figure out which pieces go where. The first two or three pieces are usually just luck for me, and then a bit of trial and error, and maybe an educated guess, using the simplest algorithms to get the job done. Bottom line is if you like solving puzzles fast and don't want to think about them, I wouldn't get this, but if you like figuring out problems then definitely get this. As is mentioned by other reviews some of the caps do catch on each other from time to time, and may pop off, but a bit of glue or poster putty can fix that. My stickers also came mess up, but the awesome guys here at speedcubeshop fixed it for me. Overall, it's a good puzzle that looks really cool.
