Well, I made this account for my son, who is the cuber in the family. He is in 1st grade (six years old) and I've only ever beat him twice in my life. Last week he got his first in comp sub 30. We made a series of tutorials for young cubers together. Also, here's a fun video of us making a...

Yes, I've heard that said and you're probably right, but I'm just hoping that they'll just be impressed enough that someone so young has shown dedication to anything really, and not be too picky about how relevant that ability is...! Here's hoping! I would love to be able to, but I really...

The UCLA Department of Mathematics has a "Math Circle" for gifted young mathematicians and my wife and I thought our son might wish to be considered for the program. Part of the application is writing about any evidence of our son's propensity for such things, so I wrote about his cubing hobby...

From what I can gather, I think you would be capable of writing the GED of cubing - now that's a book I'd pay good money for! (Even the way Hofstadter had to basically invent new typesetting methods in order to get onto the page what he intended reminds me a little of your efforts...!) (I also...

Just started a new series of real college app essays by real cubers. Please contact me if you also wrote about the Rubik's Cube in your personal statements! Would love to include you in these blog posts! http://www.mu6cube.com/rubiks-cube-got-me-into-college-01/

My kids and I worked really hard over spring break to make a series of YouTube videos for beginners. The hook is that we use Lego and music to teach how to solve the cube! Please check out this cool project and subscribe to help us get that custom URL! Thank you! How to Solve...

What a pity!!!

Thank you for replying! Would you be willing to submit this essay for consideration for such a book of college app essays about the Rubik's Cube?

Inspired by the postings here on reddit. Did anybody else write about the Rubik's Cube for their college application? I'm tempted to reach out to some contacts in the publishing world about a possible compilation of essays. I will probably reach out individually to some of those who already...

Okay these are officially perfect. Thank you so much! You're the best!!!

You know what? Sorry to bother you, but if you could, I'd really appreciate a photo with the smile facing right way up to the viewer... Sorry again!

Thank you so much for these! I'll make do! So would you like me to credit you as DGCubes? Maybe a link to your YouTube channel? It turns out I already subscribed a while back! :)

Ooh I love it! So you own this? Any possibility of a better photo with the whole cube? Thank you so much!!

Hello! Does anyone have a picture they own of a 3x3x3 cube with some sort of "scary" photo on it? A mod or special edition? I want to write a blog post encouraging readers not to be scared of taking on the cube, and I thought that would be a good picture to accompany the article. Non-copyright...

Yup, thank you! Bracing myself to explain parity etc. on M2's, but will probably spend one more week perfecting corners and especially cycle breaks!

My 6 year old boy just finished learning how to solve the corners blindfold, so we tried him out on a 2x2x2. I crack up every time I see that bit at 1:10 when you can just feel the cogs in his brain straining...!

Yeah hopefully we'll get some feedback from parents if not kids.

This spring break, the kids and I finally got around to making a series of YouTube videos aimed at teaching young children how to solve the cube. I'm really proud of the fact that we use music and Lego to make some of the ideas clearer. I'd love you to tell me what you think, either here, or on...
