Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[DecimatingSky]

"Did you bring your rubik's thingy?"
me: which one?
"The Square one (referring to 3x3 cuz it's square)"

 

[Yetiowin]

"That's a cool 4×4!"
Me: it's a 2×2.
"How about your 9×9?"
Me: It's a 3×3.
"Oh shut up!"

This is another one:

"You're cheating! That isn't a rubiks cube! That's a speedcube!"

Weirdly, I never get this. When other people try my cubes they usually react like "It's really fast" or "Why do you use money on so many of these"

Yea, one thing I get asked is why I have 'so many' 3x3s, which translates to a dozen or so, including like 5 that are from messing around (cucumber.us, etc.)

Why do you have so many 3x3s?

I was solving a 7x7 at school and some guy told me that he COULD do it, but he didn't want to waste his brain (Keep in mind this guy had a grade of 14% at the time in the classroom we were in...).


Also, i did a 3x3 in like 11 seconds infront a bunch of teachers and one of them said that it was really easy to do what I did and all you had to do was look at an online tutorial. Like I just did it in 11 seconds, with my 2 whole years of a LOT of practice. Come see me when you can solve it in like 2 minutes or less.

Those are some pretty retarded teachers.
Must think that since your a kid, it's one of those things that you can just look up online.

People (atleast in my country) think that white colored cubes are fake and bad (you know the ones you get on streets)
And Rubiks is the best brand out there.

Not sure about the colour but I'm 99% sure the rubik's brand thing holds for all places.

Oh yeah and one time I was solving my Aolong v1 at school (When I had
one) and someone said:
"OMG is that like, an automatic rubiks cube?" What XD

 

[antech101]

One time i was playing around with my aolong v2 in school and someone i didn't know bet me ten dollars i couldn't solve it in under a minute...

he lost the bet and didn't give me any money

I did that once. Someone bet me $2 that I couldn't solve in under 30 seconds. I averaged over 30 at the time but got really lucky. He ended up giving me ten cents.

Lol, one time I was doing 2x2 outside and my neighbor came over. He knew I could cube and everything, and he was watching me solve for a while. He said he'd give me $10 if the next solve was 3 seconds. I got lucky and it was a 2, so he gave me the $10.

Wow, no one ever pays off bets anymore!

Using Roux really trips people up, since you don't really solve a side until like 75% of the way through the solve, if orienting the bad edges puts some in place. You may not even solve a side until the very last step. So you get a lot of "lol can't even solve a side" closely followed by the solve.

Lol I did a random roux solve in front of my friend once, and he didn't seem too impressed until I "solved it out of nothing in 3 moves."

My co-worker sees my scramble megaminx. "Jesus, it's like a stained glass window!"

 

[wir3sandfir3s]

New one today from a friend, it's hilariously dumb.

Spoiler: Lol

"Dude, do you inject your hands with steroids???"

My grandpa's wife asked me if the Squared of Corners make it easier to solve -_-

Non-cubers are so clueless

When in my classroom some mate does some non-cubery thing that annoys me at the moment, i take my pyraminx and my hex-skewb (same mechanism as a meffert's skewb) and shouting "SKEWB-GUN!" i shoot them, then i take my pyraminx, and stab it into their head repeatedly!!!

ColorfulPockets reference? lol
