When do you consider a cuber a master?

[Ricardo Kim]

When they get a WR haha

 

[kdicem]

i think we should vote on who is a master and grandmaster every year 1 new one is elected
One for each puzzle i.e grandmaster of magic grandmaster of 3x3
sounds good?

We could do that. Although we'd need more criteria than just who holds the WR.

"I'm not a master, I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning, So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word master, I consider the master as such when they close the casket."

'Master' isn't a title given to cubers.

So, never.

 

[CubingCockney]

It shouldn't be master...it should be cubing superhero!

powers involve shooting 3x3 rubiks cubes out of every oraphis and the ability to turn girls off

 

[Cool Frog]

Anyone who truly understands the techniques of at least one part of cubing, to the point where they can apply them in practice, and discover and evaluate new ideas.

I really hate when people think you have to be really good at 3x3 to be a master. ...

So? I would put the cube down in favor of a decent set of bewbs any day and I'm sure you would too right? Okay, maybe not on comp day, but still. She sees the man behind the curtain of stereotype geeky-ness. The world needs more girls that think that way

I totally agree! the world does need more girls like that but it ain't gonna happen. Saying that however some girls do in fact like a geek

I do infact appreciate a nerd in all their nerdiness! But i don't judge anyone based on stereotypes, so really I just think " oh yay, we have something in common!" and get all excited there are plenty of girls who think this way, you just need to find them
You miss out on getting to know some really great people if you judge them off the bat. So if you're trying to impress a girl with your awesome cubing skills and it doesn't work, it's her loss. Clearly, boys who cube are much much better than boys who don't !

I really hope you people dont do that. Do all of you really think of yourselves as nerds? I couldn't imagine you all being nerds. If you want to not be a "nerd" then I could tell you how, says the hipster.

 

[panqueque]

Pfft i'm a total nerd. And i don't impress girls with my cubing skills, i impress my boyfriend haha

 

[nerd]

The only "MASTER" i would consider is felix!

relate 2 that

 

[TimMc]

Good question. To follow up: What cubing related metrics would you define to determine who should be considered a master?

For example: Speed (TPS), efficiency (FMC), memorisation (BLD), methods...

And how would you weigh the degree of proficiency in each attribute?

This topic reminded me of how many times I've been referred to as a "whiz", "master", "professional" by "non-cubers".

Is there a point in creating such a title? Some of the faster competitors and contributors are already well known and somewhat distinct in their own right. Can they be easily grouped under one title? Cubers?

Since the invention of the cube that teenagers are the best speed cuber

 

[jakkspeedcuber]

Some people said that to master something, you need 10 000 hours of works on it. So somenone that did 10 000 of cubing, is a master, for me.
