How I asked a girl to prom (with a Rubik's Cube)

**Brian Le** · 04-07-2009

So this was two weeks ago and I just thought that I should share it to the speedcubing community. Yes, it is how the title goes. And yes she did say no, but oh well, prom was still fun. Also I do apologize for any errors in pronoun usage, because that is one of the grammar rules I never fully understood.

This entire idea was a combination of two friends'. If anyway wishes to, they can use something similar to this to do whatever they desire.

Our lockers are next to each other. We also have the same teacher for this one class, her before my period. I know the teacher for the class pretty well, so I asked the teacher to help me out. What I did first was I got a 3x3 and wrote on the entire cube, with arrows pointing to different sides, "Will you go to prom with me?". I did that, scrambled the cube, and gave it to my teacher. The teacher was to give the cube to the girl and say something like "Oh, I just got a Rubik's Cube. I can't solve it. Do you mind giving to Brian and having him solve it for me?". So the cube was given. Then at our lockers at lunch I solved it and it had "writing" on it. I gave it back, then asked. With roses of course.

Yes end of story. Yes she did say no because she didn't want to go. Ah well. I don't think I can ever top that...

Strange, I came into this topic already knowing what was going to be posted. I'm pretty sure I've read the same thing in this forum, or someone else did this before too.

Really? Well, maybe someone else did what I did, but I have yet to see that.

Someone did something like this... I'll try and find it.

EDIT: I remember, I think someone was asked to a dance with the message written on a face of the solved cube. Then it was scrambled and given to the person to solve, or something like that. I can't find the thread, though.

Haha, that's a sweet idea. Here's what I did though (to ask a girl to prom after the April Fool's incident) yesterday. Just to warn you all beforehand, she did say no.

I made a fake "Rubik's Cube" using real cubies but fake core. I had fishing string coming out of the core that makes the whole thing crumble if I pull it (while someone else is holding the cube). I had a message in there that said "will you come to prom with me?"

I handed the cube to the girl, and pulled the string immediately after she grabbed the cube. The ending wasn't so dramatic though...

My school's prom is on April 25th, so I guess it's too late to ask another girl now...
