[Unofficial] Square-1 avg of 5: 14.48 by someone...(not Kazuhito Iimura)

[DavidWoner]

anyone know who this is? I think it may be Lee Seung-Woo. His channel says he is from South Korea, and his initials are SW.

whoever he is, he is good.

 

[blade740]

...too fast.

 

[fcwy1]

he solves faster than he messes up.
So pro.

 

[Pedro]

yeah, they're getting too fast...

 

[Statical]

Asians are good at sq-1

 

[cookingfat]

Asians are good at sq-1

all asians?

:confused:

 

[shelley]

Asians are good at sq-1

Do elaborate. I am very curious as to why you would make such a statement. Are all Asians good at sq-1? What makes Asian people good at sq-1?

 

[DavidWoner]

Asians are good at sq-1

the spanish are good at clock.

germans are good at multibld.

people from the czech republic are good at FMC.

see? I can make stereotypes based on a single person as well.

 

[Vulosity]

Asians are good at sq-1

I'm asian and I can't solve a SQ-1.

So this is a stereotype.

 

[hawkmp4]

Asians are good at sq-1

I'm asian and I can't solve a SQ-1.

So this is a stereotype.

Not necessarily... (Though I agree that the statement statical made is a stereotype)

For example...
Africans have lighter skin than Caucasians.
Generally this is true. But a paler African might have lighter skin than the darkest of Italians.

Guys, (and girls) lets not turn this thread into an argument about racism, lets instead marvel at this average!

 

[Neroflux]

guys (and ladies too), he wasn't stereotyping, if it matters so much to you. he was making a JOKE about the stereotyping. fyi, the person who posted it is an asian too.

back to topic: i like the way Iimura turns the square 1 better.

 

[Statical]

I meant that some cubers from asia are very good at the sq-1 puzzle.

 

[shelley]

I can do that too!

Cubers are good at sq-1.

 

[fcwy1]

Cubers are good at sq-1?
being a cuber doesn't mean you will know how to solve sq-1. hence this cannot be true.

 

[shelley]

You obviously missed the discussion above.

Statical claimed "Asians are good at sq-1." When asked to clarify, he said it's because some people from Asia are very good at sq-1. But there are plenty of non-Asians who are good at sq-1. What does he have against them?

Using a similar line of reasoning, I am saying "Cubers are good at sq-1," because some cubers are very good at sq-1, and it encompasses all nationalities. In fact, have you ever seen a non-cuber who is very good at sq-1? I think being a cuber speaks more to your tendency to be good at sq-1 than being Asian would.

In fact, have you ever seen a non-cuber who is very good at sq-1?

Takao Hashimoto.

 

[shelley]

Takao does compete in Megaminx though, which leads me to believe he at least knows how to solve a 3x3.

 

[blade740]

But knowing HOW to cube doesn't make you a cuber, in my opinion.

this guy is crazy good
