Talented ! ^^

--- Q: How will you know if the beginner has the potential to posses a talented skills in RUBIK'S CUBE?

---Answer me just need some opinions ^^ thx guys . . .

1st listens to the teacher... 2nd, has their own cube lubed, 3rd common sense (hehe).. un lng naicip ko e.

uhmmmm.for me, if he/she has solve at least one layer on his/her own without the help of anybody or algorithms. in that sense, we can know that he/she has potential to understand the movements of the cube....opinion ku lang yan hah.....

opinion ko lang, pag mabilis nya nakukuha ung tinuturo ng teacher at hindi paulit ulit

I will list mine from most reasonable first to the not-so-reasonable last:

he gets why, fast.

he develops intuitive algs easily.

he has already developed look ahead even without practice.

he played ryanheise.com since birth.

he has rediculously long spider-like fingers.

those spider fingers move fast like... bullet fingers. let's now call them the spidey bullet fingers.

he has the ability to know if he is going to make a mistake in the future and so avoids such mistake. (Nicholas Cage, anyone?)

he senses the colors of the cubes at all times.

he does not need algorithms from anyone. he downloads them with a built-in wifi receiver inside his brain.

when you mention a speedcubing term to him the first time he hears it he downloads the information using said wifi receiver and states the defenition of said term in less than 0.5 seconds after you have uttered the last syllable of said term.

his father/mother specifically and intentionally tried to elongate his hands and train them to be the spidey bullet fingers they are so that in the future he can dominate the cube.

he is the son of spider-man and either a female version or a trans-sexual version of the flash.

he eats spiders.

or bullets.

both.

he was once an exiled alien baby from the planet Cubizoida.

he is destined to hold the cube.

he has a birthmark resembling a rubik's cube on his hands. or on his butt cheeks. (cant hurt to shave his head and check there, though)

he had a non-cubing relationship with the cube before.

he is one with the cube.

no/

he is a reincarnate of a severly popped-and-never-put-back cube in the 1980's.

he is a cube.

I know I might get shot for this, but solving the cube doesn't really need any special talent. The beginners' solution requires only a few algos, and it's kinda formulaic every time. Feeling ko naman kaya talaga ng lahat; some just give up learning halfway, not because they lack talent but rather they lack an *active* interest. Classic case of hard work vs genius.

(Note that I am not talking about *speed*cubing here, but merely solving the cube. I cannot speak for speedcubing myself.)

Now, what I would call talented is someone who can solve the cube intuitively, i.e. without any pre-learned algos. Which may not corelate to speed at all, but that's another subject...

My 2 centavos.

ako isa lang...

matyaga

HAVE 'TIS...

----First, COMMON SENSE
----Second, MOTIVATION
----Third, PATIENCE
----Fourth, MIND-SET
----Fifth, FOCUS
----Sixth, RATIONAL
----Seventh, PERSONALLY MADE MNEMONICS
----Eight, FINGERS
----Nineth, YOUR PERSONAL CUBE
----Tenth, FINACIAL SUPPORT


Self-Explanatory...

dedication..

Grabeh ka naman tol'...hehehe

motivation na mahigitan ung teacher, sa unang pagtuturo mo plng...

kayang mag aral ng cube khit iwan mo lng sa isang sulok

---wew lufet nmn ng mga comments niu ^^

--- oo nga pno kong d nga nmn xa interseted sa cube pero may
talent sya ayaw nia lng i maximized ^^

---Kc ung clsmate q may talent pero sa finger tricks lng kulng . . ^^

sure ka? I don't think I'm talented pero masmabilis ako sa classmate ko na nauna saakin magsimula mga three to four months na ako kaklase ko 5 pero feel ko kasi hindi siya sobrang dedicated

feel ko malalaman mo after two months unless na nagslack siya( hehehe guilty myself)

oo nga kulang sya sa interest on cubing

xe aq dati nagpapaturo sa mga klasmate q

naun aq na fastest sa room namen

kxe sabi nila ok n daw ung mabuo nila

ndi n daw kelangan na mabilis k pa

ndi nila maintindihan ung interest ko sa cube

hay

lahat sila cinasabe un saken pag nagiispeedcubing aq

hehehe

ok lang un

i still have those interest on cubing

sooooooooo interested

hehehehe teka parang story koh na toh ah

hehehe

madaling maka pick up and mabilis maka memorize ng algo...

basta para sakin ung mai coomon sense kasi ako malakas common sense ko e. nasolve ko ung 5x5x5 hangang sa last two tredges by common sense lang tsaka ung mga nakakabuo ng isang side sa sarili lang nila

its a matter of commensense ang logic... plus the dediacation if improve

Talent is doing OH on the left and OH BLD on the right.
I thank you.

--- ahh ok po kc tntgnan ko ung klsmate ko ung talented sya sa rubiks . .

---guys cno po ba ang mblis pumik up ng algos d2?

---kc ako mbgl hehe

---ung bang pag nag scrmble ng cube ^^

ako medyo lang

aq dn mbgl hehehe

First let me dfine what a great cuber is:

-Has a good eye-hand coordination

-kabisado lahat ng algo

-magaling mag finger tricks

-mabilis mag solve

---------------------------------------------------------------------

There you go, now.... Ung iba kasi they solve the cube using their own mind without relying to other's algo... Pero kahit na kahangahanga sila, di parin nila masasatisfy ung pagiging mabilis ng isang great cuber... Kaya kelangan parin talaga nila mag-aral ng mga algo to fasten their solving time...

Now to answer the question, anu katangian ng mga may potential are:

-mabilis matuto

-magalin mag memorize

-mabilis mag adapt (sa mga bagong algo and can understand why the algo has been done...)

-at the most important is that, they like what they're doing

i have this friend, kapitbahay ko..girl siya..genius talaga siya may awards and medals,, when introduced the rubiks cube to her, she was amazed when i solved it less than 40 seconds that time.. carefully observed the method i used.. and then a week after without teaching her the method she knows already how to solve correctly the first 2 layers.. whew..
