Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[Cyrok215]

Everyone says "Your cube sucks" or "Wow, with a better cube I bet you could get the world record", just because my stickers are horrid.

I find some non-cubers can catch on very fast. I was teaching one of my friends and in just 30 minutes he had LBL memorized except for PLL.

 

[JTW2007]

Friend: (upon seeing my megaminx) "Whoa, is it alike a dodecahedron?"
Me: "You know as well as I do that you only said 'dodecahedron' because it was the most intelligent sounding geometric word you could think of. Yes, it is a dodecahedron."

Happy Comments (Puts a ) on mah Face.

* means a bad word was put there

-Holy ****, he did it in like x seconds!! (x is 5, 10, 30, however they exaggerated...sometimes >: D)

-: o Whoa....

-Dude, wtf, how'd you do that?! >: o

-Dude, gimme it, I wanna scramble it! (Many varieties on how this was said )

Comments that make me either :| or make me roll mah eyes

-I peel the stickers off.

-I can get one side. (This is usually when they ask for the cube [nicely] and do one side...not in the 'correct' way)

-I bet I can solve it in 10 seconds! (Response: My ***)

Comments that Make me

-You just peel the stickers off. (Response: Mmhmm, is that why I actually moved the cube?)

-You just memorize the combination. (Response: My ***, who in the living **** memorizes 43 quintillion combinations?!)

Aaaaaaaaaaaand comments on how my TEACHERS reacted

Old Math Teach: Gave me a Pepsi for it! And gave me the title "Master of Puzzles"...One of the best Thursdays ever

Old Science Teach:" I got a Cube in the mail today (apparently she ordered one) and I'm trying to solve it! "

Old History Teach: Gave me candy. For my 4x4 Solve.

New Math: He nad his son scrambled it and gave it to me to solve. Teacher:*bows (in a joking way)* Son:" OMG OMG!...Yadda Yadda Yadda"

Science: "I'll mix it up one day so you can solve it!" (She did and I solved it)

History: "Did you just solve that?!"


Just some Random Times

-Dude, you use cheat codes. (Response: How did you know I went on GameFaqs to learn how to?! (Moron) )
-Dude, use WD-40. (Seriously, why is it always THAT?!?!)
-I'll give you a dollar if you solve that. (One dollar win)
-(I partially peeled each sticker so I can remove them for tiles early) You peeled the stickers!!!

Using your avatar. At least, I think that's what he meant

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Doesn't count.
My favorite:
*done with OLL*
*starts to move on to PLL*
Dude, you just had it!!
*done*
Oh damn.

 

[Muesli]

"No! You don't get to look at it!"

"But you get 15 seconds before you solve to look!"

"Ok then. Well don't pick it up"

I was in my latin class solving a 2x2 in front of a lot of people and letting them scramble. One guy scrambles it and i get headlights and I mess up. I put the cube down and said i messed up. The guy who scrambled said he made it unsolvable. I then solved it in ten moves. He says aww man I didn't beat you after all..

 

[Imperatrix]

Me solving my 3x3:
Friend: Are you sure you aren't Asian?
Friend 2: You got it straight from the box *then later* You peeled the stickers!

Me opening my Pyramix:
Roomate: Is that a triangle?

Me solving my 5x5:
Friend: You cheated. *scrambles it* *I solve it again* ._.;

But aside from that, it's all, "Oh, you're so awesome!" etc. etc.

And my favorite:
"How'dya do that?"
"Because I'm a ****ing genius."

"So you know the algorithm?"
"There are multiple, Hun. Pick one."

 

[Pichu97]

"I can solve it just wait." (goes into a room) 5 min. later. "Look I solved it." and blue is next to green.

 

[TEGTaylor]

Solving using roux...
While finishing the second block a friend comes up to me and says " Oh ya a Rubik's cube I once tried to learn to solve it, all I can remember is that you cant move those pieces in the middles(obviously he watched pogobat's video and was very confused) me:*starts EO*"So, what I'm doing now isn't happening this is a real move?" him:"nope" I was just like wow

 

[Ranzha]

I told my band teacher I was gonna give her a megaminx for her birthday.
She didn't know what it was, so she googled it and said, "Oh my gawd, the original cube is put to shame."
XD I loved her reaction.
You had to be there.

 

[piemaster]

Everytime I finish OLL, they say, "you messed up!"

 

[StachuK1992]

Over the summer, I was waiting for my plane to arrive so I could come back home, and another guy in line saw I was doing some 3x3. He was like "wow, you must be left-handed!"
Wtf?

 

[1996iscool]

They say they can get only one side, but when they show me all the cubies are not even in the right spot.

 

[Twofu2]

yeah, the corners are all in the wrong places, same goes for edges. Rofl

 

[fundash]

one guy said that he could do it in 7 minutes, i let him try...he didn't even know the cross (after like 2 min, it was still 100% scrambled)

When I get this I usally reply" This is whats called a layer...."
