I meant they jump to extremes so easily. 2x2x2 may seem easy, but make it 1 bigger into a 3x3x3 and they'll say it's impossible.
Why does cubing hold our interest?

All I ever get is:
'How do you do that, TEACH ME NOW!'
&
'Only Nerds can do that!'
Im like: 'only clever people (obviously not you) can do it!'
Now I hardly ever take my cube into school because of the constant idiots who call it nerdy and stupid.
I cube because it is fun and you can improve. Its a fairly cheap hobby and it is easy to collect them from stores and online. There is also a vast community of other cube enthusiasts to talk to.

I get similar remarks -- although people went as far as trying to smash my cubes. My 2nd best cube -- a storebought -- was smashed by a jealous slow cuber in my school.

happened to me with a cube4you black DIY. It went all over the hallway and I was able to rebuild it except for 1 center cap. I made one out of balsa wood, covered it w/ black tape and got an extra sticker. HUGE pain, if only people could learn instead of tryin to mess with us.

well, mine was LITERALLY smashed. Can't use anything out of that except the edges now...

that's a shame. i get that sometimes too, but my motto is "don't waste your time caring what other people think." i enjoy cubing, so i just zone them out.

Same thing. I don't like when people think they're awesome at something when they're actually really bad at it.Our group is elite, but not a majority.
I would just be like, fu. I only hate the people think that they're also elite, when it takes them >3 min. to solve a cube, and they can only solve a 3x3.
Actually... All I can really solve is a 3x3, but I am getting a 4x4 for Easter (cross your fingers
). But I think I am pretty bad at cubing. My PB single (lucky) solve is only 41.36 seconds... Non-lucky is 50-something And I am averaging 1:10< sadly. But I am trying, give me a break before you bash, I started around the New Year.
But I am getting near the elite group. Metaphorically speaking, I can hang around and not be told to go away.

i can only solve a 3x3, and my best is 30 secs. i see no reason to move onto another puzzle until i have (nearly) mastered this one.Same thing. I don't like when people think they're awesome at something when they're actually really bad at it.Our group is elite, but not a majority.

I am asking for it mainly because of the "wow" factor that I would get at school, and family parties. And an even-sided cube sounds scary 
but really fun. I have already seen Dan Brown's video and understand it, kinda.
But I want a challenge, besides getting faster at 3x3. Maybe Pochmann (sp?) blindfolded method... That would be fun.
To keep that on topic, that would hold my interest.

All cubes I know have 6 sides, and 6 is even. I would be more scared by an odd-sided oneAnd an even-sided cube sounds scary
Cubing, unlike other sports, is something that not many people can do. So when you go to the mall and think you are the only one or the fastest cuber in the mall, it gives you a good feeling. Or it does for me. Just getting good at a tough thing is fun.

Why? All different types of puzzles are fun. Was no better than 30 seconds when I started 4x4. I'm no better than 20 seconds now and I do 2x2-7x7. It's not having to master the cube, it's about having fun, even if you aren't that good. You should try 4x4.

good point. i might just do that.

If it's solved, you just feel the need to scramble it
If it's scrambled, you just feel the need to solve it
If you don't believe me, put a scrambled cube in front of you and see how long it takes before you start turning it (don't cheat by having an extra cube)

And whenever you have a solved cube in your hands you have to be doing something with it. Whenever I solve a cube I usually go straight into scrambling. The only time I leave it solved is when I am finished with a session, or am a little bored with it.
This is so true.
Even if it's across the other side of the room, i just can't help myself <_<

I just tried this. I lasted 22 seconds.
