How's it guys :)

My girlfriend loves cubing. That's just SO freaking awesome.

On the day i met her, i had to drive her home, and she found my cube in my car and couldn't believe that i could actually solve it, and quickly too! She asked me to teach her, and now she has a PB of 1:11. She wants to get faster now, and I'll teach her Fridrich soon, assuming she wants to do all that studying :p

Very often she'll just sit and cube while we're driving. It's just so awesome. Hahahah.

Imagine the day you want to marry her - just take a solved 7x7x7 or something, and write "Will you marry me" on one of the sides, and then scramble it and give it to her ;p hehe.

The only problem is she will just have to finish the centers to get the gist of the message. That kind of kills it.

there are ways...you can write a letter in each piece and avoid centers...plus if you include center pieces,they may not be solved exactly how you wrote it...i think

Only if you stay within the stickers I think.
Not if you write letters across the stickers, maybe with a brush or caligraphic type font.

That is true. I would like to find a programming girlfriend and I can embed it in the code as some stray comment. We can all dream though, right?

We share that luck!

About 8 months ago I was walking with her through the city we entered a typical "random stuff" shop. I came across a regular rubik's cube and I recalled that I had played with it a long time ago but was unable to fix it. I got facinated right away and bought one. She didn't care much at this point but I spend the afternoon turning it and seeing what the inside looked like. That evening I was determined to solve it. Using the booklet I could just about complete a layer or two but no further. I went more and more desperate and frustrated because I just couldn't completely do it. I watched numerous videos on youtube.. nothing helped. I had to solve it before I went to bed.. so after many.. many hours in to the night.. I gave up.. being frustrated as I was I just dissassembled it and put it back together. When I tried to solve it again next day.. i got it on first attempt......

I know now .. that I just put 1 stupid edge the wrong way in that afternoon .. making the puzzle impossible...

Wait.. this isn't about GF's.. uhm well I hope you liked my story anyway.
More ontopic: Soon after I learned how to solve it whitout looking at the algs on the papers. My times were around 2:00. At this point my GF became interested and wanted me to explain. In about 45 minutes she could solve the whole cube out of her head. I bought her a cube too then since she really started to enjoy it. Then I got an DIY.. and then got her one too. The race was on.. I got 1:40.. but she kept on beating me with 1:30. But soon we were on the same level and were just racing eachother for fun. She avarages around 55 with LBL. I proceeded to learn fridrich and avarage around 30. :)
