Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[AlGoreRhythm]

Was carrying around my 7x7 and it's box today. Some kids saw the box (it said "magic cube" and thought it was some sort of trick cube)

 

[goodatthis]

a few things:

a kid thought that my gj logo sticker helps me cheat
he also thought that the fact that the centers are fixed and corners can twist is cheating
and of course we've all heard the obligatory "oh, you can solve it in n seconds, it would take me n years!"

And I guess this isn't very "darnedest," but one of my friends said that she was going to get me a heart shaped rubiks cube. Do they make those?

 

[cubistprime]

"Oh my god?!"
"That would take my 10 years not 10 seconds!"
"How do you do that?"
"Can you teach me??"

ALL I HEAR IN SCHOOL.

Yep. And in 3 colours.

Kid: Is that a Rubrics?
Me: It is a Rubik's Cube
Kid: Can you solve that Rubrick?

This was on may 2014. We had a math lesson and I always put my cube and mp3-player on the table, because it's so much easier get them when lesson's over. So, my cube was on the table and of my classmates asked how does it work inside. Then my math teacher drew a picture of the core on the board and explained how it works. He actually did it quite well.

Some math class they were guessing how big is the biggest cube. The biggest guess was 12x12.

I made a thread about speedsolving in the other hobbies section of the dueling network forum(Yes I play YuGiOh) and I met one person who was a cuber, and then I met a noob who called me a nerd. grrr

I thought nobody would ever call it that. Then one of my teachers said to my 4x4: "That's a big Rubrics cube."

My old gym teacher calls me "Mr. Rubrick"

 

[someguy]

Are you smart, I can do it faster than you, oh, I can't solve that it's one of those wierd chinese cubes, oh, I forgot, why did you break it, (corner twist) you cheated

[someguy]

yes,yes they do yj I belive

 

[newtonbase]

I can't decide between 3 and 4.

 

[sneaklyfox]

5.an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby such as cubing

ftfy
I know some people will say that they like to go to competition to meet other cubers and that's social, but cubing itself is not really a social thing because you're more interested in the cube than in people.

Shall we start with "5 sides".

Shall we start with "5 sides".

XD

Destroy the YT comments with that.

They said: I can solve 3x3 but i can't solve a 2x2

This simply means they use a beginners method with ll edges first. With my beginners method corners of the last layer are permuted then oriented, then same with the edges. I don't have to learn ortega, woohoo
