What do you say when people ask you "How do you solve the rubik's cube?"

If I have time, I do a quick rundown of a beginner's method with the least amount of jargon I can manage.
 
my mum says to never give away your secrets.

We're not magicians..

Anyway, most of the time I don't think people are actually looking for you to tell them how to solve it right then and there, so I usually just shrug and say 'practice'. If they're actually interested, I tell them the steps and say if they want to learn they can just look it up online. Once they get into it(which most of the time doesn't happen) I give them pointers about which methods to learn and where to learn it.
 
I have a cubing class at school so I tell them to come to my cubing class if they really want to learn. I will say that most people who ask me how I solve it never come to the class, they expect some kind of easy answer. The people who come are the ones who want to learn but never really say anything to me. They know there is more involved than some quick trick.
