Reverse corner cutting

Gear

The cube’s revenge for every corner you’ve ever cut.

Actually, though

Corner cutting in the harder direction — turning into a layer misaligned the other way, which needs the pieces to squeeze outward rather than fall inward.

Every cube cuts less in reverse than forward, so reviews quote both numbers. Poor reverse cutting is what makes a cube lock up mid-algorithm.
