Introduction: Good evening teacher and classmates, today we are going to display our project
about an interview.
A: Hello, can I make you an interview about the Speedcubing?

J: Of course, ask me.

A: First, tell me what’s your name?

J: My name is Jhon.

A: How old are you?

J: I’m 19 years old.

A: And… how much time do you have practicing the speedcubing?

J: I have between four and five years practicing.

A: How did you meet the speedcubing and when?

J: I started with the speedcubing in 2014. My friend knew how to solve the Rubik’s cube and
that was something interesting and amazing for me because I never could solve the cube so I
watched videos on Youtube and learned.

A: When was your first competition?

J: Well, my first competition was in 2015. It was named New Open Average 2015 in Mega Plaza
and I came from a little city in Chanchamayo to here.

A: And what was your first official average?

J: My first official average was 25 seconds because I had little time practicing.

A: Do you have a collection of cubes?

J: Yes, I do. I started to collect cubes because there are many different kind of cubes, not only
simple cubes. You can have a Pyramid, an sphere or maybe strange forms to solve.

A: That’s interesting and, how many cubes do you have in your collection?
J: Well I have 21 or 22 cubes maybe, I’m not really sure because I don’t have them with me
now.

A: Cool… I remember I used to have one when I was a child, how often do you practice?

J: I’m always practicing in despite that I don’t use to have too much free time but It’s easy to
carry a cube and be playing and solving it.

A: I want to learn how do you solve a cube, so can you tell me?

J: Well there are hundred methods to solve a cube, and these methods have steps and
algorithms that we can use in order to follow the method to simplify the moves and
permutation of pieces.

A: I see… and what is the method you use and the steps it has?

J: I use the Fridrich method and the steps it has… well first you have to do a cross… then you do
the F2L…and finally the PLL.

A: And do you have a cube with to explain me these steps?

J: Sure, I always bring a cube with me.

A: Nice, you really like cubes.

J: Yeah. Well first as I told you have to do a cross.

A: And how you do that?

J: You have to look for the edges that you will use for your cross.

A: Uhm I see.

J: Then you have to do the F2L, the F2L means the first two layers and this step is when you
solve the corner and the edge at the same time.

A: Fine, please tell me more.

J: And next you do the OLL, the OLL means orientation of the last layer and in this step you have
to orientate the pieces of the last color upside the cross by using algorithms and when you got
this you can follow with the next step.

A: The last step?

J: Yes, the last step is the PLL, which means Permutation of the last layer. In this step you have
to permute the last pieces by using algorithms too and so… you’re done.

A: Woah, you do it really fast, hope someday you can teach me slower.

J: Yeah of course, then you can learn.

A: Thanks for the interview.

J: Thanks to you.

A: See you soon.

J: See you.

Closing: Thanks for paying attention. Hope you liked our project.
