Today, while I was on the bus, I was sitting next to another student, and he was practically mesmerized by how "fast" I was. And so later he asks "Don't those break if you spin them too fast?" And I explain how it pops when you try to turn a layer when one isn't completely aligned. But I say mine very rarely pops (new type a III FTW?). To show him a piece, I tug on a corner piece with apparently substantial force when I hadn't even realized it. The piece and edge next to it flies out, but I managed to somehow make it not look like it was a disaster because they had landed in my lap.
Later, still on the bus, I was solving, and the orange-white edge was raised, but I didn't think much of it. Then, with no predictability, 4 pieces exploded out of the cube as the one guy said "Woah!". I reached under my seat to collect them all, and put them in my pocket.
When I got home, the little prong-things or whatever was almost completely broken off. As I was about to glue it to full strength, it popped off, and fled into the sink. Drain :fp . I managed to find it amidst the moldy food in there, and anfter great difficulty I glued it back together, and now the cube acts like the whole incident never even happened
. The ironic thing is that earlier that day I got my record, 28.34 non-lucky
tl:dr
MAH CUBE BROAK!
