Just watched it a couple more times.
GJ BBC presenter who paused as if he had ask a question but hadn't.

"You can solve it, she used to be able to solve it and I can't solve one at all..."

THAT'S NOT A QUESTION!!!

That was my exact thought process, I was like "WHAT THE F AM I MEANT TO SAY TO THAT"

I was expecting a "can you teach me"... And then it never happened and I was like wat

I'll be happy to try and get a digital copy and put it on youtube, give me 10 minutes lol

Edit: link

Yeah, thank - enjoyed that!

It's funny how we take cubing vocabulary for granted: "I look for four green cross edges"... I think the only words that sunk in were 'four' and 'green'... other than that, you might as well have been talking in Swahili. Even after explaining what an edge was, you could feel the confusion in the studio!

Congrats, twas an awesome few minutes, if slightly awkward. At least neither of them claimed to have once solved 5 sides, or to have solved it by luck - could've been much worse!!!

I think we need to start a thread on 'How to talk cube to Dummies'.
For example 'The centres are fixed in place and there are 2 types of pieces which can move. Those with 2 stickers and those with 3'.

As soon as edges and corners are mentioned more explaining is required.

I know there are guides for scientists when talking to the media to avoid the stories getting warped too much due to confusion.

Edit - no offence meant to James. I think he did very well under the circumstances.

sorry guys for asking this but does anybody knows if there will be a competition in Edinburgh in July? I have heard there was some thoughts about this and I am just interested if there will be one. thanks

 

[Berd]

Hey Guys,
Would anyone like to add me on Kik or whats app or FB messenger to discuss cubing? I'm new to cubing and would love to have in depth talks with someone. If anyone could chat with me please DM me. Thanks!

Probably not. It's getting too late to organise it. Hopefully late this year, or if not then next year.

Hey I am thinking about coming along to this, was just wondering (as I'm not a regular ) what kinda time it kicks off.

Inside in the main lobby, usually by the tables by the window (Thameside, if that's a word) you can't really miss us and usually we're there from 10 onwards
