Interesting (would like to hear more), but solving a Rubiks cube would appear to be a poor way to measure spatial understanding or reasoning. Ordinary human spatial intuition lets you think about how to move a tile to a certain location, but not really how to make consistent progress towards a solution; what's needed is knowledge of solution techniques. I'd say what you're measuring is 'perception' rather than reasoning.

That's definitely in the training data
