- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

Maybe. There are different approaches to solving it, and they result in different complexities.
My approach is probably a little longer than what my oldest does (hence why I won’t beat him).
It also helps to be able to instinctively know which adjacent colors go with which color is facing you at any given time; green -> orange, blue -> red, etc. the more you have to analyze the cube, the longer it takes to solve.
Then there is also luck when it comes to the scramble. Some are better than others and don’t have you turning as many pieces. Sometimes I can go from 2:43 to a 1:33 just because of the scramble.
