Rubik's Cube
I couldn't solve the Rubik's cube. Even with directions, I just couldn't do it. I do know that the Rubik's cube is considered group theory, because a single move in actuality involves multiple pieces moving at once. This is probably why I had so much trouble with it.
Peg Solitaire
Working with peg solitaire (the English cross) proved to be interesting because of the various patterns involved in solving the larger cross. I found it most effective to move from the corners toward the center. I really enjoyed this puzzle.
