Haven't read the full article (just skimmed the beginning), but I'm with
you on the cube-solving technique.
My father bought a 2 X 2 X 2 cube so we could all work on our
corner-solving strategies. He was fairly strict about cube-solving --
we were NOT allowed to buy books on solving the cube (not even with our
own money), but we were allowed to share techniques. He wanted us to
figure things out, not memorize a cookbook approach. I ended up with
the 2 X 2 X 2 cube, it's in this room. (Solved, of course -- I try not
to pack puzzles unsolved, and I haven't touched it since the move,
except to place it where it is now.)
