How many girls have you seen been able to play a rubik's cube?

[Sin-H]

I actually tought 2 girls how to solve the cube, and one additional girl is learning it at the moment.

A friend of mine taught it to, I think 5 or 6 girls, and another one to another 3...

And, as far as I know, F.P. told it to his girlfriend. She is even learning BLD at the moment.

In contrast to that: I taught about 10 boys how to solve the cube.

I taught it my girlfriend and 2 other girls, there are 3 at my class that can solve it and 2 fast ones (30s) live here too, met them last sunday.
I am going to teach it my sisters daughter (6 years old) and she is gonna beat the world record for youngest blindsolver I hope, she's interessted in it, she came to me and scrambled cubes and I had to solve them. She went for speed and tryed to act as fast with her hands as I do, after all she were able to realy scramble and not just do R and L as fast as she can. After about 70 solves she gone to my parents and sister and told them we make a show for them and then she continued scrambling against me solving and was lucky to be faster mostly ^^

Hurry up. It's been three years and I'm still waiting for someone to challenge me for the title of fastest female BLD cuber.

 

[Cerberus]

hmmm then she needs to beat me by far and the national record too, but I wonder how fast she will be at normal solving, if she gets sub-5 fast.
And for bld I am looking forward to that brilliant memosentences/stories she is going to tell herself

What's the fastest BLD by a female cuber of any age?

 

[masterofthebass]

Officially it's 1:23.96 by Shelley Chang.


That's 12th in the world!

 

[CharlieCooper]

wellll i'm one girl who won't be beating that BLD record!

Don't say that! It's thinking like that which lets her stay unchallenged.

My oldest daughter Marie is hoping to learn BLD (although she really hasn't put much effort into it yet). I'm hoping she'll do it someday. She has fast enough fingers that at least she should be faster than me, but Shelley's mark will be a lot harder to achieve.

 

[CharlieCooper]

well it's on my mental list of things to learn, but there are other things i'd like to improve on first also, i have no idea where to start with BLD

You'd be surprised how much you can accumulate if you learn something everyday. If you really want to learn BLD, sit down, start reading and understanding how it works. Never say never. Honestly, out of all the stuff I have done with puzzles in the last several years, I think BLD has really had the biggest overall benefit on me. My memory has improved so much. I never realized what you can train your mind to do until I did BLD.

On topic, I have taught tons of girls how to cube. None of really taken it as far as speedcubing, but they get to the point where they can solve it.

Wow, well, it's not impossible, I will try my best to beat it!

...eventually, haha.

As of now I can only do a 2x2 BLD but I'm working on the 3x3.

Girls are awesome; one in our school club is baking a cube cake for our next (and last) meeting.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

I've taught... five girls how to cube, but only three guys how to cube.

 

[masterofthebass]

Wait, what's with this cubing club thing Jon... and why haven't you invited me (I like cake )

 

[ExoCorsair]

It's at school; you can come after school (2:30-3:15) on Thursday if you really want.

 

[MasakitChan]

I've taught 6 how to solve it, I've seen nearly 50 of them in my school, or even 100, or even more, though they just play/solve it, don't speedcube.

 

[DavidWoner]

i've seen 3 at my school of only 193 people, and i taught two of them.

 

[Alex DiTuro]

Everyone knows girls are inferior to guys in many aspects of life like math, science, cubing and driving.

Lofty, that's pretty sexist of you. Even if you were joking that was wrong. For god's sake Jessica Fridrich(not to mention shelly chang!) could kick your ass in a speedsolve!

Anyway, I belong to a facebook group about the Rubik's Cube and there are a lot of girls in it(they're pretty hot too!). Actually, now that I think about it, there more girls than guys in the group!

 

[Dene]

Mr. DiTuro, I have two comments to make here:
First of all, Lofty is probably faster than Fridrich and Chang, or at least if he practised normal speedsolving he would be.
Second of all, your comment "they're pretty hot too!" is easily as sexist as anything that he said (whether it was a joke or not, at least his claim is backed up with empirical evidence).
