Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[ElectricDoodie]

They don't know that centers are fixed
Legit question IMO
>Lol

I also find that legit.
It wasn't till someone explained that to me, before I started cubing, that something sparked in my brain, and I understood it so much better. After they explained that to me, I was able to do F2L by myself. Granted, it took about 2 hours...

I've met people who don't even know what one is. Also, people sometimes look at my 4x4 while im solving it and talk about how massive it is. Thats right about where i point out that there are 11x11s out on the market too. Then they shut up. XD

I'm kinda sick of hearing "Do you just turn it randomly until its solved?" So today when I heard it, I decided to have some fun.
Me: Yeah
Person: NO WAY HOW DO YOU DO IT THAT FAST THEN?!?!
Me: :fp I turn it 10 times a second, so i do it really fast.
Person: So, does the world record guy turn it like 250 times a second?
Me: Umm sure.
Person: NO WAY I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A METHOD. When I go home I'm gonna learn how to turn it a hundred times a second so I can beat you.
Me: *Epic :fp*
In conclusion, always say no.

I hate it when I'm solving a 2x2, and EVERYONE asks if its harder then the regular one. Then they try to scramble it and say, "It is harder cuz it doesn't turn in as many ways!"

Then they see a 4x4: "IS THAT A 20 by 20 by 20 by 20?!?!?!"

Some random person who was on tinychat with me, blake4512 and dfgged:

RP: do i have to solve the cross again?
dfgged: you already solved it
RP: but you told me to refresh my cube so i mixed it up again
everyone: FACEPALM
RP: you cant insult me, its illegal

LMAO AT THE REFRESH PART
I hate it when people lie similar to this
"O my frend haz liek a 20x20 lolz"
-Yu Nakajima solves 7x7 in around 4 min in a vid, heres a non cuber comment-
"dats eezy i can solve it in 2:39"
-someone solves a cube-
"thats easy all u did was remember how u mixed it and did it backwards or reversed the vid and speeded it up cheater lolz fail no life"
>_>

Me: solving 3x3 in front of computer using cubetimer.com
random person: Why do you need that website? Is it giving you the answers and telling you how to solve it?
Me: It's a timer.
Random person: Oh ok (with suspicion)
Me: If I told you what turns to do and when, and gave you a pretty video with pictures and graphs you still couldn't solve it!

cubetimer looks horrible and cheesy to non-cubers. Stop using cubetimer.

QQtimer or CCT. My favorites, and are both professional looking.

I've been used to the normal repetitive comments from non cubers like, "I just peel the stickers off" or "I solved it once a long time ago but I don't remember how" or "I got 5 sides one time but couldn't figure out the last side" but since moving to a new town I've been getting a new comment that I find humorous. "Wow, you must meditate a lot!" (I live in Fairfied, Iowa where most of the population is involved in the transcendental meditation movement because the Maharishi University of Management is located in town.)

 

[Alcuber]

some people are really dumb...
RG: i bet you i can solve that (points at my megaminx)
ME: sure...
RG: give me a go (he turns away and turns the cube one move then he turns it back)
RG: see i just solved the worlds hardest rubic cubic

I hate it when people do that
Rubic cubic?:fp

 

[theace]

There was this workshop at the commerce college next to mine where they were teaching people how to "Rube the Cube" :fp

 

[kvaele]

I know I have posted alot on this blog recently, bu I just gotta share this stuff.
Me: *takes out pocket 2x2*
Girl in my grade: OMG MINI ONE ITS SO CUTE!!! Can I see it?
Me: Umm ya sure
her: wow its so tiny and cute. I feel compelled to stick it up my...
Me: I want it back now.
Her: Yeah.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

...you should have let her but said you wanted to be the one help her get it in there!

But a nostril is only so big D:

 

[oprah62]

I see what you did there.

 

[Alcuber]

What people usually say when they see my 2x2
"I bet i can solve that one"
They never can

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Lol Edward!

 

[rishidoshi]

I was teaching the beginners method to my bro. After a couple of solves, (and some brain damage):
Bro: What is the worst scramble possible.
Me: Nothing like that. For the beginners method all scrambles r pretty similar unless ur lucky and get to skip some steps.
Bro: No ur wrong. Worst scramble is when all 9 stickers on a face are of different colors !!!
....Some words (and numbers) exchanged after that

I was cubing on the train yesterday and the guy opposite me was quite stunned. The old timer sitting beside him was like: There's nothing to be so shocked about. It's easy really. You just need to spin it really fast. If you turn it fast enough, it'll solve itself.

That's when you do a slow solve.
