How many people have you taught?

[izovire]

Hey everyone!

In this thread we will discuss how many people YOU have personally taught how to solve the Rubik's Cube.

A. 0
B. 1-10
C. 11-100
D. 101+

In the above poll please select the best estimate. Since I opened my store I have taught 28 people of all ages. We all know that Dan Brown has taught the most people (including myself).

1-10. I might have taught over 10 people, but I don't think that I have. I know I've taught close to 10 without counting all the names of the past 7.5 years, but meh.

I disagree with Dan Brown teaching people. I wish the poll was something more along the lines of how many people you inspired, Erno Rubik would take the cake

For more valuable information, you could have made the poll like
A. 0
B. 1-10
C. 11-20
D. 21-30
etc.

I taught one person who can still do it and others who got down beginner's F2L but never made it past LL algs and I'm currently teaching a friend on my swim team. I know Dan Brown taught a lot of people but I learned from Tyson Mao in the DVD "You can do the cube" or something like that which was included in my first storebought for an extra three dollars. That must have taught a lot of people to do it since it's available in every Toys R' Us and other locations.

I cant find anyone to teach me...then again because I work as a lecturer Im really picky

I think 4-6, but a few more who gave up/still haven't finished. So who voted 100+?

 

[cmhardw]

I voted 100+. I've been cubing for a little over 12 years, and I've always made it a point when I was in school to have a cubing club, as well as to teach my friends when they want to learn. I have a cubing club at the school where I teach now, and have already taught 3-4 people how to solve. To me, the feeling of seeing someone doing the very last 4-5 turns of their first ever full solve gets my heart pumping just as loudly as when I know I am about to set a possible pb solve on a big cube blindfolded attempt. It's really an addicting feeling teaching someone how to solve! I don't know the exact number of people I've taught, but it's certainly more than 8-9 people per year on average, so definitely 100+ for me.

I taught finger tricks to ONE person.

 

[xbrandationx]

I havent taught anybody, but Ive got a lot of people interested in cubing.

I taught finger tricks to ONE person.

Everybody loves the sexy move! My wife's favorite finger trick, haha!!

 

[freshcuber]

I've got a few kids in my chem class that love to cycle R U'x63 for some reason. The one isn't all that slow for a non-cuber and is the only one to use just his index fingers.

 

[Cubenovice]

I taught this little cuber:

And I "taught" Ortega to Chris Hardwick ;-)

D. I teach 2 classes on campus. Enrollment was 138 last semester, and averages around 1XX students a semester?

 

[Olivér Perge]

I, myself taught several people but I am even more proud of them when they teach someone on their own!

There was one guy I taught (I think he's in his 40's) and he taught his family of 5 afterwards... I think his wife is more into the 'big' cubes (no joke). But that's a really good thing for me doing business, it really multiplies my customers/addicts

 

[Andreaillest]

I've taught 2-4 people and I think only two of them were able to get it. I taught a friend of mine how to do H and Z permutations. Also, the checkered and dot cases.

 

[avgdi]

I've taught two people how to solve a 3x3, and I taught another person how to solve a pyraminx.

I am teaching 7 classmates right now. In our AT program, we just finished a big porject so for the next few weeks we arent doing anything so i am going to teach them how to cube, and some may be able to learn f2l from me by the end. I have tought two people before this, and was proud to see them get sub 50, learn full OLL/PLL (already tought them f2l) and go on to teach more people. Glad I actually have people who are interested in it in my school.
