When people say "Wow you must be a genius to solve that" They are giving credit which belongs to one of the biggest cubing geniuses, alongside Pochman and others.
everyone would be using roux, ZZ, petrus etc. probably feliks zemdegs would have never been a fast cuber and the world record wouldn't even have been sub 10
Lol buying a cube then sounded like a drug deal (although it is pretty funny not trying to make fun of a sad situation like the wall that was in Germany)
Fantastic interview. I learned to solve in 1982 so it really reminded me of those days. I remember on my first cube the faces were ordered differently, green and yellow were opposites as were blue and white so it got a bit confusing if you swapped cubes with a friend and they had a different colour scheme. Of course there was no youtube to learn from so it took us all a lot longer to learn but people learned a lot from each other and just by persistant trial and error. A lot of people had different but similar solutions to each other, layer by layer tended to be most popular but there were a few differences in last layer. I solved the last layer corners first then finished with last layer edges while other people solved last layer cross then corners last. My father worked out a completely different solution where he solves all edge pieces then finishes by ordering and permuting all corner pieces. It really was exiting to see how different people managed to get around different problems. my one and only cubing competition was around that time with a school comp. It had around 20 competitors and the winner got a very respectable (for the date) time of just over 30 seconds. Lack of F2L and old cubing technology really slowed us down but most of us had averages of around 40 to 50 seconds. People like Jessica and Lars Petrus really were on a different level. Thanks for giving an oldie an excuse to dream of days gone by while playing with a cube.
So true!! I learned to solve the cube also in 1982. I remember vividly I got one with Christmas. I got a stencil with some "formulas" and after a few weeks I could solve it in 2 minutes. I was so happy!
i am czech and i am a speedcuber and my last cometition my friend told me that jessica fridrich is czech, i was so extreamly proud of my nation, even tho the czech republic has a tiny population there have been make huge inventions, crazy
Thank you so much for presenting this to us Shawn! What an amazing opportunity to interview her. Her humility was admirable. Great video!!! Great job on putting the interview together!
SpeedCubeReview I just started Instagram. I won’t post on the main feed though, I don’t want to take away from the subject matter of your video. I think it’s just ninjacuberdk, but I’m brand new to it, so I don’t know.
I meet her on an air plane onetime from nyc to Syracuse. she was on her way back to Binghamton NY where she is a professor. This was in 2009 I think. I have a video on an old phone of her solving my cube!!!
Pretty awesome. I think is fair call Fridrich method. By the way, last year when I was teaching my students how to solve a cube, I showed a video of her solving and they got very impressed. Also good to hear about Roux, since is my prefered method
Well, for me ZZ is better when you get used to it. You can make the cross and at the same time you orient the edges, so F2L is easier and you don't have to rotate. Also, you only need to learn 2-look OLL for ZZ and PLL to be as fast with CFOP. But yeah, ZZ is bad at the beginning, but it gets better with practice without learning a lot of algs
I saw people mentioning her rotation style, and had to index each point I saw she rotated....( first one is ALMOST one it seems, it clicked enough to add it :D ) I think we can all understand obsession and not letting things go T_T haha THANK YOU for the video! this was a real treat. ( if i missed one, add in a reply...I went through the video several times, and caught a few EDIT! I did not count whole cube rotations, so don't bother :D ) 12:15 13:03 15:55 16:14 27:00 27:14 31:29 31:47 32:53
She is considered as one of the pioneers of speedcubing she invented cfop like literally without her there would be like no speedcubing. Nearly all of the fastest speedcubers have based their methods on Fridrich's.
@@SpeedCubeReview oh... Please post it the extra!! And also, i think it missed a solve, can you ask her to send a video solving. Would be a nice extras behind the scene kinda video!
Can someone here please tell me, do I need to know how to solve a 3x3 in order to do a megaminx or a ghost cube. Also shou I be able to do a regular skewb in order to do a master skewb?
@@SpeedCubeReview So it would be helpful to know how to solve a 3x3, also do you know anything about should I know how to do a skewb before tackling a master skewb.

Thanks for the interview Shawn, truly inspiring.
Tingman nice
Tingman was here,, awesome
Big fan
Lol tingman wassup can u give me some advice
Ming Dao ting
Definitely true that Jessica Fridrich is one of the most influential names in cubing. Massive Respect!
We would be using roux,lmao.
if you think about it roux is actually based on CFOP
@@snproblox6054 I call that, cfop with m slices.
Hey nithin, were you the JEE topper last year, like, i have read your name somewhere..
@@anandsharma16 Hey, I had a pretty good rank yea :p, made it to the papers a couple of times yeah :D
The three dislikes are from the creators of roux, zz and petrus
CatCuber now lars
kkkk. Excelente comentário!
it's got 4 now. guess pochman got jealous as well
@@bengraham6483 The ol' pochmann
I am solving with CFOP while watching/listening to this, and I am very grateful. ❤🙏
same
I accept the thing in title.she is on other level
Imagine the world of cubing if there was no CFOP
everyone would be using roux, ZZ, petrus etc. probably feliks zemdegs would have never been a fast cuber and the world record wouldn't even have been sub 10
@Letscube until roux came in 2003 lol! Cfop is not the only reason why people can get sub 15 times
roux ...
and if she didn't invented it someone other would have done it
actually, she didn't
Someone else would have invented it, they said in the interview that other people where working on similar methods at the time.
Lol buying a cube then sounded like a drug deal (although it is pretty funny not trying to make fun of a sad situation like the wall that was in Germany)
WOW WOW WOW! Masterful work on researching, conducting, editing and just about everything for this interview!
Thank you so much!
"Most recognizable name in the cubing community"
Ernő Rubik: Am I a joke to you?
JK, great interview!! Thanks for posting this!
That's why I put "One of the..." 😉
I honestly thought that Feliks was the most recognized 😂
lol, somebody named their self after a puzzle 🤣
(this is a joke)

This interview has been many years overdue - Thanks for making it happen and posting.
I HAVE BEEN WAITED FOR THIS
i am czech and i am a speedcuber and my last cometition my friend told me that jessica fridrich is czech, i was so extreamly proud of my nation, even tho the czech republic has a tiny population there have been make huge inventions, crazy
I'm trying to learn cfop, and I really gotta respect Ms fridrich for creating it. We're lucky to have experienced this.
She is a genius !she created a method where great cubers set world records !
Thanks for you for creating CFOP for us ❤️
wow can't believe you actually get to interview Jessica Fridrich, thank you for posting!
Just found this interview. It was very enjoyable, great questions, and a great person. :)
This is one of my favorite video interviews concerning the subject of the Rubik's Cube !!!
Thanks for putting this together and sharing !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jessica fridrich: makes cfop
Me: SHE MADE THE TPERM
What a legend!!
Jperm is better
Thank you so much for presenting this to us Shawn! What an amazing opportunity to interview her. Her humility was admirable. Great video!!! Great job on putting the interview together!
Thank you very much!
SpeedCubeReview you’re welcome. :)
I just joined a different social media platform. Is it rude to mention it on here? I feel like it’s kind of like an unwanted advertisement.
Feel free to. Thank you :)
SpeedCubeReview I just started Instagram. I won’t post on the main feed though, I don’t want to take away from the subject matter of your video. I think it’s just ninjacuberdk, but I’m brand new to it, so I don’t know.
This is by far the most interesting video on TH-cam!
Everyone: getting a new phone for graduation
Me: Mom can I get a 17x17 for graduation"?
Me:getting a lightsaber
17x17 is better than a phone, as a phone will probably get replaced in a few years by a newer model, but you won’t need a new 17x17 probably ever 😅😂
I got a petaminx for doing well on the ACTs
literally solving cubes thanks to her while i watch this
Third most recognized name.
Clearly Rubik and Felik are 1 and 2.
Thank you for this interview, it was a very interesting watch!
This is a great video format. One of my favorites.
Love this method, it's amazing that you got the chance to interview her!
this is my favourite SCR video
Dang this interview is great, and researched so well, hopefully we can get more interviews in the future 🙂
Yes, the video that I've been waiting for! Unfortunately I'm so late but of course I really enjoyed it👏👏👏
Fantastic interview! Thanks Jessica and Shawn.
Second interview should be with Stefan pochman
I meet her on an air plane onetime from nyc to Syracuse. she was on her way back to Binghamton NY where she is a professor. This was in 2009 I think. I have a video on an old phone of her solving my cube!!!
Appreciated the interview. Kudos to this woman :)
Thank you for your work and passion Shawn!
Hats off for Jessica Fridrich 😍😍
I love this video. Jessica is so kind!
That's very nice man. Looking back into the history of something is always interesting. I subscribed 🔥
This is my favorite video ever
Woah!!!! Can't wait!!!!
Amazing interview man so fascinating I think every speedcuber should watch this :) thank you
3 dislikes from the makers of Roux, ZZ, and Petrus
Pretty awesome. I think is fair call Fridrich method. By the way, last year when I was teaching my students how to solve a cube, I showed a video of her solving and they got very impressed. Also good to hear about Roux, since is my prefered method
She's the celine dion of speed cubing
I feel like shawn was try so hard not to say that she was the creator of the bezt method
CFOP is not the best method, thought
Flowey2506 what is?
Flowey2506 in your opinion
Well, for me ZZ is better when you get used to it. You can make the cross and at the same time you orient the edges, so F2L is easier and you don't have to rotate. Also, you only need to learn 2-look OLL for ZZ and PLL to be as fast with CFOP. But yeah, ZZ is bad at the beginning, but it gets better with practice without learning a lot of algs
This was a really amazing interview
The one dislike is from the creator of roux
Gillis roux I think is his name
Gilles Roux*
Thanks for the interview and this fantastic solution.
Awesome video as always! please feature Gilles Roux next
The cubing community is super small over here in the Czech Republic imo. I've been to one comp and there were mostly Polish and Slovak peeps
Not true. Czech competitions are full of Czechs
@@jijikcuber2295 I've only been to one so far. I guess the one I've been to had more foreigners

Good job on the video. I started cubing only a few months ago and this is very intresring.
Jessica: my best time is 10 secs
Me: cried in pain
This is so damn epic the creator of CFOP damn
Thanks very much mate. Awesome stuff.
This is actually amazing
She is considered as one of the pioneers of speedcubing she invented cfop like literally without her there would be like no speedcubing. Nearly all of the fastest speedcubers have based their methods on Fridrich's.
Is cfop method and fridrich method same thing??
@ViratKohli-mo3tq yes
I came as soon as I saw this on Facebook
this is some wholesome content
I've got some extra footage after the interview that is my favorite. Even more wholesome :)
@@SpeedCubeReview oh... Please post it the extra!! And also, i think it missed a solve, can you ask her to send a video solving. Would be a nice extras behind the scene kinda video!
There is a video of her solving that I added to the video but also full solves linked to her site in the description.
hi sean this is so good i love this I watched it all and hi jessica
This is my favourite video
god it feels great to be czech 🙂 awesome interview !
This video is amazing, how hard was it to get an interview with her?
I know no one cares but I was the 1000th like and now it says 1k I feel so special
Ah yes jeskic frocdroch the women who made the scaly frog method
Lmao
@@yuxinlittlemagic haraga is one handed
Don't was only she.
Was several people that created.
‘Corrected’ means after discarding all the too-easy outliers. Avg 17, pb 10.
Nice video!
I'm from the Binghamton area, I keep forgetting she's a professor at BU 😅
She is legendary

When was your first comp?( To viewers also )
1) your age when u went to the comp
2) the year of the same
Minha cubista favorita!
how did she come up wiht the oll and pll, maths , visualisation ?
A bit of trial and error. There are certain patterns that you can piece together.
Yeah having actually watched the interview I gathered... I guess just a lot of time figuring it out + being very smart
wow
Wow! An amaizing video. Really knowledgeable.
@6:12 like all cubers she can't leave it unsolved... 😂
All hail the Goddess of speedcubing
A bit irony that she only has 1 silver in her official speedcubing carrer. Compared to ther method creator such as Lars Petrus, Gilles Roux and others
Good job sir. Great vid.
She is amazing ;-;
Really cool to know from who it's from Good video !
Can someone here please tell me, do I need to know how to solve a 3x3 in order to do a megaminx or a ghost cube.
Also shou I be able to do a regular skewb in order to do a master skewb?
A Ghost cube is a 3x3. A megaminx is basically a 12-sided 3x3.
@@SpeedCubeReview So it would be helpful to know how to solve a 3x3, also do you know anything about should I know how to do a skewb before tackling a master skewb.
Yes. A master skewb is a 4x4 version.
Wow, you could totally do a podcast.
I've thought about posting this on my old podcast. 15 episodes are currently available

brilliant
Great vid
Yes Cfop
Wasn’t she super fast considering the usage of literally like *no fingertricks*

This is epic
YAY
Subtitles in spanish pls
I don't currently have that ability. If someone is willing to transcribe it for free I'd be willing to give them brownie points :-)
She has no idea how her method has more research than she has done in PHD
After petrus please do roux
I already did th-cam.com/video/drPaAbhu-Eg/w-d-xo.html
