    But yeah it's one of the things that annoy me.

    You could argue against me, but yeah that's just my opinion.
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))
    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    This. People always say things like "That's easy it's just a lot of memorization I could do it that fast if I wanted." While that's true I feel like they don't nearly understand how much it takes to become fast.

    No, I guess I agree. It's worth noting though that you are a unusually skill-based cuber.

    I learned a beginner's corners first method two years ago, and am sticking with that.

    Me: No you didn't.
    F: Yes I did!
    Me: *Explains why such a big puzzle can't be made*
    F: Well I never said it could turn!

    I was doing K4. And practising my corner commutators (CLL).

    Algorithms in that solve = 0.

    But, yeah, it's a pretty annoying statement.
    It's called a Rouxbick's Cube for a reason...
    I'm going to try and post less frequently in the next couple of months...

    Guess he couldn't find a red marker. Took me a little thinking to figure out how to get only four sides.

    I like cubing at school. I'm in a scientific study ("Industrial Sciences - Computer Science"), which basically means there are no girls . About everyone is a geek in some way, and I rarely get negative comments on cubing. Some people learned to cube because of me. One of them averages like 28-30 now, so that's great.
    I always let people try my 2x2, because they think it's easy
