Tyson and I were at this party the other night. We had our cubes with us because we were demonstrating speed/blindfold solves as part of the party's entertainment.

At one point Tyson handed his cube to this Hollywood-type girl and told her to scramble it. She took it and turned the R and L faces over and over for about a minute before giving up and handing it back.

I have never seen someone who actually couldn't figure out how to scramble a cube. It was as if this girl had only ever had experience with the Rubik's cube for blondes.
 
Wow lol, I've let people scramble my cube a few times in the past and they did turn the R and L faces over and over but at least they included some rotations :p But now thats just kinda retarded haha :)

I know a 6 year old girl who did the exact same thing. But at least she figured out how to scramble properly after some hints ;).

By any chance was she wearing pink pjs?

Haha. I've never seen someone fail at scrambling a 3x3, but once I handed a women the cube, and it was solved except for an R2. She looked at it for a minute, and handed it back saying she couldn't do it.

I also ask people to scramble my Square-1 or even the Skewb, and it takes them a good 30 seconds to a minute before they can even do a move.

Edit: Sweet pic: Cube for blondes. I once saw on eBay a "George Bush Rubix Cube"... it was a typical 3x3, but all the stickers were orange.
 
Most of the time for me. People turn vigorously like crazy. 2 moves, and it's a POP.

That's not how you solve that scramble...

Yes it is. Just repeat it 5 more times. But I'm sure he didn't mean that.
 
My ma does that, I used to ask her to scramble it and she would do L and R moves...I guess some people can't grasp the concept of 3D twisty puzzles?


I agree with fanwuq...I hand it to some random 6th grader who thinks it's the coolest thing in the world and I tell him to be careful and turn slow. He turns fast, it POPs, and I'm ready to break his neck since he did what I told him EXACTLY NOT TO DO!!!!! Seriously...non-cubers are IDIOTS sometimes!!!

this happened to me a lot at my school, i tell them go slow and make sure all the sides are match up so it doesn't pop, 5 seconds later im looking at them wondering why i handed it to them. now i only let one kid play with my cubes(he can solve it).
 
Fortunately most of my school mates are used to the sight of cubes, and are gentle creatures, therefore realising they have to align the cubies to be able to turn it :O

I know, I say, 'careful, it's really loose so turn it slowly.' And they say okay, okay and then it immediately crumbles on the first move. :P
