Introduced two family members to the rex cube

[Kattenvriendin]

one of the two is an avid cuber, but I don't think he competes. He should, he's quite fast in fact.

I saw him.. and went hey! You're the cubing guy right (I have too many family members...) Yep, was him.

Oh.. here!

Handed him scrambled rex cube (it was nearly solved actually, dad and bro showed up too soon, I was cubing in the car in the train station parking lot haha).

His eyes went big, then small, and then a puzzled frown appeared when he saw it didn't turn like a regular 3x3. I don't think he has ever seen anything other THAN a 3x3, so this was WAY cool of course.

He didn't have much time (wedding after party), but I told him what kind it was.

Then my 12yr old nephew wanted to try. He got one of the petals the way he wanted it to go, pretty good for no introduction whatsoever.

I am heavily playing with the idea of buying another rex from Dealmaz and shipping it straight to him as a surprise. He was quite smitten with the thing and was sorry we had to leave (and rex of course came home with me).


This sure was a fun experience to introduce other people to something like this. :tu

Spreading the word, there is a cube WORLD!

what you just posted reminded me of something that happened a few days ago at a cousins house. no one knows how big the cubing world really is.

Me and my friend usually go to do some pull ups, and sometimes i bring a cube, and there's 2 cubers living nearby, they always remember him, and still get amazed.
