    In school my friend wanted to see the inside of a Zanchi so i took the center, and two corners out. While explaining the mechanism to him this girl comes over and starts yelling at me and telling me that i am not supposed to break the cube and put it back together solved. She kept going on and on and on about that and finaly she said it would be just easier to take the stickers off. After i couple minutes she comes over again and says see now you cant put it back together. (i put the three pieces back in scramble it solve right in front of her she gets mad and walks away)

    Tell her ok. Bring your own cube. I challenge you to take it apart/ peel the stickers off and beat me to it
    (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

    Lawl. I find it when more fun when people are scrambling my cube and they pop it. They then proceed to freak out and say that they'll pay me for it, but when I say that it's a special cube and I payed over $80 for it they run away. Makes me so happy.
    I live in Canada, I literally have to warm up before I cube :)

    Definately a topic I can contribute to. But, first things first.
    I always have my ZhanChi with me (in mo pocket, backpack etc.).
    I tend to avoid to solve the cube in public and I do it only if I bored at the moment.
    When I do it, one of this situations occurs:
    1. Someone stops by and asks me how I do it. I always answer "With my hands." But, people are usually stupid and they keep bothering me with random questions and always bring up the fact that the only way they could solve it is by disassembling it. Then they want to measure the time it takes me to solve the cube. They scramble it and usually pop it (it's ZhanChi and it's tightened really well, how do they manage to pop it?). And they freak out (much like in the post above).
    2. I hear background voices coming from a group of people "I have a friend who can solve it in like one minute... HEY! HE SOLVED IT! There are some algorithms or something, you know. Blahblahblah... Didilli-doo. Blah-blah etc."
    3. Someone actually tells me he can solve it. So I scramble the cube and give it to him: "Do it!" Then he moves the cube from one hand to another. "Um. I haven't solved it for a long time, but I needed 3 seconds to do it before 2 years." O.o I love this kind of i-word - s, especially when they're together with their friends, girl or any human. So they get embaressed and I know I helped speedcubing community be removing from the streets one i-word who will bother speedcubers with "fascinating" history.

    This turned out to be a longer post than I had planned.

    EDIT: Who would have said one 'i' word regarding the mental state of an idividual would be censored.

    I also get "I haven't seen one in 20 years" and "you're crazy...."
    Got my friends into cubing, they just can't get past 3x3 and they're like "she can solve any cube in the world!"
