Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

"Why do you have so many of them? How much money have you spent on them?"
My collection consists of about 20 puzzles and I can't practice every WCA event. I don't own a clock, 7x7, or squan. (I used to have a squan but now I hate squan so I sold it to a guy at a competition.) Also, I have no idea how much money I spend on puzzles because I try to be conservative of money and I don't really keep track.

(When my 6x6 is about to pop) Aaaaaargh... oh no... (frantically putting pieces back into the correct places)
"Oh yay! I think I scrambled it up too well for you!"

Walking in public with my ShengShou kilominx:
"Is that, like, an Octo-Cube or something?"

In school with my kilominx:
(THIS GUY HAS SEEN A MEGAMINX BEFORE) "Whoa! That looks so complex! How do you do that?"
It's a simpler version of a megaminx.
"...oh."

"Why do you waste your time on that?"
I don't reply because the guy walked by and said that on his way to get something, but I'm thinking along the lines of "says the extremely violent and inappropriate video game addict who has been suspended from school multiple times." Well, really not all of that came to mind, but I was thinking "says you," knowing the guy who said it.

Last week I showed my Megaminx to some schoolmates.
After I explained them how to turn it, they replied:
"Does that mean the centers are fixes?"
"Yes."
"Oh, then it's boring."

I was with a friend one day. He knows what I average (about 30), and he wanted to know what the world record was. I told him that it was 4.73 and held by Feliks Zemdegs.
"No way."
I show him the video.
"Well, you know what? I think you're just as good; that was just a lucky solve."

I like your friend... now show him Faz's 6.88 Ao100!! [emoji6]

The other day a non-cuber at my school asked me if he could record me solving my 3x3 for snapchat. I said I wasn't fast enough to fit in a snapchat video but sure. He said just do the cool thing. I asked what he meant by that and he said, " The thing where you make it all yellow and then move it around without looking most of the time." Apparently, OLL and PLL are called the cool thing.

lol
from now on "CFOP" will be called the "CFcoolthing method"

Wouldn't it be CFCT? Or maybe that's Chris Tran's variation of CFOP

 

[Levurmion]

Whoa one minute! You're really fast!

-,- thanks(?) :/

"Solve it in 5 sec so I have time to film It for snapchat"...

 

[Moises Martinez]

"I can only solve one side"
And
"I can solve that in like 2 seconds"(does one move solve)
Also
"Can u solve it in four seconds?"
And
"I can solve it faster than you."

 

[ThatCuberKoko]

Whats the secret?
Do you just randomly turn that and it's solved?
I can do that in like, 2 seconds.
"Pops my cube while imitating my turning speed" I'M SO SORRY ILL GET YOU A NEW ONE OH NO.
I thought they were impossible!
Is that a world record or something?
"Solving pyra" Whoa is that a RUBIK'S TRIANGLE?

 

[ThatCuberKoko]

"How do you find it?"
"How do you crack it?"
"How do you fix it?"
"How do you re-do it?"
"How do you smack (yes, i know) it?"
"How do you get it back to all of the thingys done?"

lol most of these comply with a mirror cube

 

[Rubiks Gaming]

I once got 2 sides

or

I once got 5 sides and couldn't get the last one. (lmao)

How do you manage to get 5 sides but not get the last?

 

[vm70]

"Solving pyra" Whoa is that a RUBIK'S TRIANGLE?

I lectured people today about Rubik's cubes & the mathematics about them. Someone asked me how fast I did the "triangle one".
Do people not realize that the Pyraminx is not a triangle, but four triangles? Last time I checked, it's the Rubik's Cube, not the Rubik's Square.

How do you manage to get 5 sides but not get the last?

You can't, unless you add stickers from another puzzle (which is a dumb thing to do anyway).

 

[SolveThatCube]

Makes 3 turns then undoes them - "I SOLVED IT!!!"

 

[cuber314159]

Someone comes up to me says "can I try" I scramble it and let him have a go, a few seconds later " I can't do it" it's not like you'll break the world records order first time.

Oh but I do like commentating on my solves infront of non cubers and I do a simple F2L pair then an oll alg then I get an r perm ...?

 

[FakeMMAP]

"why do you need so many 3x3s?"
"because I'm a MBLDer"

 

[Dom]

"why do you need so many 3x3s?"

Me: "because I can't stop buying cubes....I have a problem."

 

[TheSilverBeluga]

"Why are you wasting your life on that?"
Come back to me on that one when you've started doing your homework.

"You spent $20 on that? That's such a rip-off."
*Comes to school two weeks later bragging about his new $700 watch*

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

"If I undo it, can you redo it?"
