I think this is the type to get if you're new to cuboids. Maybe a 3x3x2 first. There are many other kinds of cuboids, like floppys, and bricks, and even ultimate shapeshifters. Towers are a great place to start. If you want to try a 3x3x2 without actually having one, use the top and bottom layers of a normal 3x3, and only do 180 degree turns, keeping the white and yellow on the top and bottom all the time. Just ignore the middle layer, but you'll see the "parity" happen on that layer that you see in the middle layers on this video, so you can solve it that way if you want to pay attention to it. It doesn't exist on a real 3x3x2 though (well sort of but you can't see it) so you can safely ignore it as well.

I can't understand why people solve these this way. I mean as nested 3x3x2's, when you can just do them all together. Line up all the centers and flip them up or down to the right place to get your 4-layer cross. Get every matching piece up top for a given corner and stick them all down into your cross in one move. Also, 2R U 2R U 2R 2U 2R puts the corners down without the "parity" you get from 2R U 2R U' 2R, and it can be used on slice moves to fill in missing pieces. I just use it all the time to avoid "parity" as much as possible during the solve. You'll still get it at the end if that's the state the puzzle is in, but it won't bother your solve until the end. So that's your "F2L" (really F4L), then do your upper layer corner swaps and edge swaps as usual, just line up as many layers as possible while you do it and you can do them all at once. Hopefully you can understand what I mean, but I really never see people do this in videos. I mean basically do you want to solve this thing once or four times?

Thanks for your feedback. The reason you don't see the most efficient solves in KZitem tutorials is that when we break down a solution to demonstrate it, the focus is on simplicity and repetition rather than efficiency. A reduction to 3x3x2 makes for a streamlined approach with a lot of repetition, which is important for learning.

@@PeteTheGeek196 For sure, but I simply wonder if people know about it because I don't see it in any videos. I don't mean yours, I mean anyone. Not trying to criticize because your videos are great, just an observation.
