Editing Thinking Space II (section)

==Trivia==
*Thinking Space II was rated on 19 September 2025 and placed at #1 on the Demonlist on the same day, dethroning Amethyst after three and a half months.
**This addition pushed [[Acheron]] out of the Top 10 after three years, Checked Steam into the Extended List for the second time, and me when machine gang into the Legacy List.
**Thinking Space II is regarded as the 45th instance of the hardest rated level in the game's history.
*The date of Thinking Space II's rating and placement is the same as [[Cursed|Cursed's]] birthday, who turned 18 years old that day.
*Thinking Space II was coincidentally verified on the same day as another top level, Amethyst, which wPopoff verified.
*Zoink added a CBF detector at 95% without CairoX's permission, leading to a minor controversy.
*Zoink's verification video has garnered over 3.7 million views and is his second most-viewed.
*Zoink once used the '#ratets2' hashtag in a post on his Geometry Dash account, and this led people to start massively spamming the phrase everywhere, primarily on RobTop's social media accounts. It was very reminiscent of #ratetidalwave before its rating.
*Thinking Space II, along with Amethyst, was placed at #2 and #1, respectively, on the [https://demonlist.org Global Demonlist] site on 25 May 2025.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/geometrydash/comments/1kvc8ji/amethyst_and_thinking_space_ii_have_been_placed/</ref>
**On 1 August 2025, Thinking Space II was moved above Amethyst.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/geometrydash/comments/1mf0ufx/according_to_the_global_demonlist_ts2_is_harder/</ref>
*Thinking Space II is part of the player-made 'CMYK Tetralogy' as the K in CMYK, alongside [[Flamewall]] (Y), Amethyst (M), and Tidal Wave (C).
**Funnily enough, the tetralogy is an exact reverse of CMYK, being a KYMC due to the ordering of all four levels' placements.
*A potential theory why Thinking Space II, as well as other verifications, took as long as they did to get rated was Zoink's dislike of [[Viprin]], leading to RobTop not being particularly fond of Zoink.
*In [[Netermind|Netermind's]] opinion, an 85% run on Thinking Space II is more difficult than beating Tidal Wave.<ref>https://twitter.com/Netrimer/status/2040993030673416583</ref>
**During Vernosis's interview with Netermind, a question came up as to what makes the level so difficult, with Netermind saying that the second half of Thinking Space II (which, for him, comes at around 54%) is by far the most difficult, pointing out the extremely precise click and release timings, especially at the wave and fixed spike hitboxes at robot and cube sections.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t5eYDckuMI</ref>
**All this reasoning might be why many players who got far into the level could not get runs on 50-70%.
*CairoX has been well-known for creating and remaking levels before he announced Thinking Space II, such as [[Lucid Nightmares]] and its sequel Lucid Chaos,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsZ8okUy_tk</ref> INFINITE CHAOS,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQE8pRKzW0Q</ref> has a part in Cimmerian Shade,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tHxZAXzmwg</ref> Legacy, a highly decorated remake of [[Bloodbath]] which features a 65-100% extension,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcZdIrJmJLc</ref> has made an official sequel layout to ORDINARY called EXTRAORDINARY,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqAoMZfugE0</ref> and has a part in Misanthrope together with [[Dorami]].
*Thinking Space II has been the hardest legitimately completed level for over 363 days, with the fourth longest time as the hardest completed Top 1 in the game's history.
*A 'legacy' version of the level was created with decoration more closely resembling that of Thinking Space. Initially planned to be the level's LDM, it was later decided to be a separate, significantly easier level, also called 'Thinking Space II'. This version was verified by [[Zeronium]] on 5 February 2026.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bx0Ki02qqk</ref>
**Both this version and CairoX's rated version are considered 'official', per the consent of all gameplay creators and HidekiX, the creator of the original Thinking Space.
**Zeronium considers this completion his second hardest achievement in the game, harder than [[Slaughterhouse]] and easier than [[Abyss of Darkness]].
*It is often argued in the community as to whether a jump from [[Stereo Madness]] to Bloodbath is less difficult than a jump from Bloodbath to Thinking Space II.
**On 15 March 2026, KingMoose completed Bloodbath as his first-ever completed level after over 130,000 attempts,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ0eCR9tBjQ</ref> and nowadays, even the most experienced players spend tens of thousands of attempts to complete the hardest levels, meaning the earlier-mentioned claim is to take into consideration.
*Coincidentally, when Penumbral was placed on the Demonlist on 29 April 2026, it caused Thinking Space to move down to #150 on the Demonlist, briefly causing both of these levels to be the easiest and hardest levels on the list, with the community calling it a 'Thinking Space Sandwich'.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/geometrydash/comments/1sze1gf/i_just_wanna_point_out_that_this_looks_cool/</ref>
