Cubers: The Documentary

[JTW2007]

Reporter: "So as you're putting this together what is this, is this a combination of math or what, what is this?"
Incredible Rubik's Cube Boy: "Math and science. I had it in school the other day and my teacher told me it was math and science."
Reporter: "Aww man, how long have you been doing this?"
Incredible Rubik's Cube Boy: "About two or one week."
Reporter: "Oh, are you serious?!"
Incredible Rubik's Cube Boy: "Yeah."
Reporter: "Oh, that's incredible. You have a great mind."

That's horrifying. It makes me want to... die.

The slower someone solves in front of someone who has never seen someone solve a cuber, the more impressive it is because it makes it seem like it is much harder than it actually is. If you solve it in 10 seconds, it seems like there's just a simple trick to it that someone can learn in a few minutes and be able to do the same times as you.

Huh. Never thought about that. Makes sense though.

I think that definitely depends on the person. Some people you meet will have very short attention spans.

Sometimes it's well deserved... when it is a sub-30 FMC on a rather difficult scramble.

Regarding cubers, you don't have to be fast to get on TV:

"Man you got some speed there!"

"...yeah."

Next time I go out doing one-handed or whatever I'm going slow.

 

[JTW2007]

"Man you got some speed there!"

"...yeah."

That's pretty hilarious. It'd be a funny response even for someone who was good.
