why people(cubers) do not tell you what they know

[Reptile]

Okay I have learned a few things from this form.
1- I should use this site more often for IMs
2- Ipods are not good on wifi (or at least mine isn't)
3- I should ask more than 1 person if a topic should be posted
4- The results were mainly negative from this topic
5- I should have more experience before posting. Instead of generalizing
6- I need to get rid of my bad repution

7- I should use a spell checker

Fixed.

I mainly made this cause not many people share megaminx things! Or I couldn't find them after hours of searching. And i'm not saying every fast cuber doesn't make tutroials I'm saying so don't. And pluse I used examples that I get asked a pot at school. I am pretty young.

That explains most of your posts.

Wait huh? You're 12, which is like 2 years younger than him.

I was kind of implying that "pretty young" meant around 9-10. And usually 9-10 year olds don't have too good spelling skills. I did not know that he was 14-15... Which isn't that young.

4. Not really. Just very to the point.

6. Believe me, you will never FULLY get rid of it. Not even changing your user-name and trying to be a different person will work .

i dont think its a good idea to gang bash the guy, its not hard to correct someone without mentally scarring them for life.

I want to echo what everyone else is saying. Cubing is remarkable in that most cubers share everything they know, to a degree that exceeds almost any other hobby or sport. We generally tend to get disrespectful towards those who don't, probably partially because of some cheating that has happened in the past. Anyway, please slap me if I ever start refusing to tell people what I know. I don't ever want to be like that.

*SLAP!*

You refused to tell me how to be awesome

again not the best speller

 

[Daniel Wu]

Spell check? Or google it if you're not sure so you don't look dumb?

 

[Jaysammey777]

i never noticed that there was a spell check on the text box. However, my computer won't let me. It's really bad.

why people(cubers) do not tell you what they know.
I can only think of 3 reasons-
1- they can't explain it
2- they dont want people to be as good or
3- they dont want peole to know how

I was actually wondering this myself. I've refered about 50-100 students to youtube videos to learn various things and very few come back learning anything. Usually I have to end up teaching them it after school. I've wondered why cubing tutorials aren't effective. Most tell me the person went too fast and they didn't understand anything they were saying.

I've watched alot of them and watched other people try to teach what they know about the cube to other people. I've come to the conclusion that most cubers can't put themselves into the mind of the other person. They skip over steps and take for granted simple things that are hard for a beginner. The bottom line is that just because you do it doesn't mean you can teach it. Most of these tutorials are also by younger people (less than 25) who don't have alot of experience knowing how to teach someone something.

There are thorough tutorials made by some people but they are few and far between. Most people teach something as if the person already understand everything they are talking about. When you teach you need to go about 2 times slower than you think you need to go and usually even this is too fast.

So I guess you haven't watched AVG's tutorials?

As for the minx tutorials, kickflip1993 has some amazing LL algs on youtube, using a search engine isn't that hard. And this could've totally been in the 1AQT

 

[Innocence]

Guys, haven't you learned this guy yet? He's a troll. Don't feed him.

 

[Faz]

It's obviously because they don't want anyone getting as fast as them. Can't you see through all the troll replies?

Spoiler

lol
