Hehe... if I got a tattoo of a rubik's cube, and it had the wrong color scheme... View attachment 4773

What? Is that a real tattoo?

I hope not...doesn't look like a real one anyway

Well when you point that out, it makes the tattoo seem exotic and well thought out.

dad: maybe you're not getting faster because of that cube, it sounds really stiff (talking about my CX3)
Me: oh, it's not the cube, it's really fast, feel it.
But be careful.
Dad: I'm not stupid, I'm not going to break it
Me: yeah, but this one is pretty delicate
*it pops*
Why do they get offended when I tell them to be careful

You should've totally taken the opportunity and asked for new cubes.

Seconded.

This thread has gotten a lot more mellow since page 34...

My friend and I had a long conversation about cubes today, and a listener apparently thought we were making fun of chinese words (What with all of the -Longs and -Chuangs) and told us not to be racist. :fp

Frequently, other people think the same thing, and decided to join in on it by saying, "AolingChinDongShuangFunShiLong" Or something like that. We get this kind of thing a lot.

Wow, really? What was your response? Hey, cubers know Chinese!

 

[AlGoreRhythm]

We usually just explain to them* what we were talking about, and what the words mean (the "meanings of Chinese Cubes" Thread was awesome).

*In a very awkward way

 

[cfop01]

Let me jumble it properly

Non-cubers always think they break my cubes when they (unsuccessfully) try to imitate my turning speed and pop the pieces. One time this happened, the guy said, "Dang, those Chinese, make things that don't break, jeez." Inside, I was facepalming.

I don't know, if this alredy was here, but under RedKB's 17x17 timelapse solve is whole bunch of interesting comments from non-cubers...

I bought a 4x4x4 shape-mod dodecahedron (http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10002901/1217701). My sister told me I already have it, showing me my megaminx...

-Did you undo the scramble?
-Oh! He did it!
-The Rubixxx's genius
-That's why, because you are good at math
-Cheating? (Corner twist)
-Do you have the bla bla bla cube? (That i saw on television?)
-Wow! How the hell can your fingers move so fast?
-(sexy move)x6
-I did that during the 80's. I forgotten how to do that,
-I solved 5 sides/I just peel off the stickers/I take the cube apart (Typical)
-Oh, that is a great cube, cos I can change the tiles around without taking the whole cube apart! (I was taking the center caps off a stickerless)

Today I ran into some non-cubers in the puzzle section of a toy-store. Bought a couple puzzles. They were joking among themselves about the Rubik's 5x5 they saw, saying it was impossible and you would have to be a genius to solve it. So I just causally walked up to them, popped out my AoChuang, and busted out a 2:00 solve. They flipped out. Asked if I was a genius. I said no, and that Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. (a quote from Albert Einstein, who never solved a Rubik's Cube). They were all like, "What?". I told them it was a quote from Albert Einstein, and they asked how fast he could solve a 5x5.
