After the discussion with the universe ended MANY PAGES ago...it's been brought up again. Seriously, bring it somewhere else...

Me and this girl (Friend)
Girl:Look, I learned the checker pattern! (She's a 1/3 cuber)
Me:Cool! Let's see!
Girl:*checkers*
me:Nice. watch this. *checker patterns on the Vcube 5*
Girl:How'd you DO THAT?!

Something like that happened to me.

My friend was showing me superflip because he just learned it from another guy. I happened to have my 7x7...
 
Me: How many external (outside core) pieces does this cube have? (3x3)
Non-Cuber: *counts* 54.
Me: No it does not. It has 26.
Non-Cuber: How?
:fp
If you showed the cube without the stickers they would count to 26 but just because of stickers there are a different amount of pieces.

It has 20 :fp. Remember, there are 12 edge pieces and 8 corner pieces. 12 + 8 = 20.

EDIT: Unless you count centre pieces, which are fixed to the core itself, then there are 26, but in terminology, there are 20 movable pieces.

20 removable cubies. If you want a total piece count (standard cube not counting screws, springs, caps)...it would be 21 due to the core. If we're talking cubies, would centers count?

Yeah, your right. Damn my 3 second thinking.

I am doubting that the noncuber actually asked how many external pieces there were. If someone asked me how many pieces, the answer I would give would be 21.

But he didn't ask about movable pieces, just external pieces. Besides, the centers do move (just do an M), just not w.r.t. each other.
 
"You're obsessed with those, aren't you?"
"Are you, like, the Rubik's Cube master?"
"Yeah, I've been to a competition. I played with someones 23x23. And they set the world record for the 23x23. It was around 2 seconds." (dumb@$$)
"Let ME screw it up now. (then follows a friggin' ten minute REALLY repetitive scramble), and then i get a sub20. And then they are like "WTF!"
 
I've got this AT LEAST 20 or 30 times:

Random noob: "You're not as fast as _____"
Me: "_____ gets like 2 minutes, i get like, 25 seconds..."
Random noob: "then solve it for me"
So i solve it, and of course im not gonan get 25 secs as thats my pb so their like: LOSER you can't solve it in 25 seconds _____ can solve it faster than you. SOOOO ANNOYING!!@#$@#$#@

Well, you SHOULD tell them:

"I can solve it in *Insert Average Of 12 Here*"
