Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[kooixh]

1.pointing at my speedstacks timer:what is that?for counting turns per sec?
: or counting heart rate?

2. Me: lend me your cube
fren: ok,but dont mix it up
Me : scrambling it
fren : you better buy me a new SOLVED cube
Me : ok,walk away while solving:there
fren: O.O

Both are epic.

I was solving my 2x3x3 and thiss little kid came up
LK: Can I have a go at that arubik's cube?
ME: Yeah whatever
LK: (does one move) this is the easiest arubik's cube ever (he scrambles it one move again and turns the cube over and looks at it for a while) ummm can you solve it?
Also...
LC: (points at a v-cube 7) Hey that ones bendy!

EDIT:

I got something similar when I went to a friends house and he had a cube on his desk...
ME: (picking up cube)
Friend: Don't scramble it
ME: Why not?
Friend: (opens a drawer with 3 scrambled cubes in it) I can't solve them
ME: (Solves them all right in front on him)

Yesterday my friend asked if cubers use the term "cubeular." lol

I wish we did, now.

you are not going to believe this!
this is a screen shot from rubik's cube wikipedia page in Farsi
warning! big picture

Spoiler

let me translate those two parts
F2L method
F2L method is currently the fastest method to solve the rubik in the world. (yes the wiki does not say the rubik's CUBE) many people call this method the "fridrich method". the word "fridrich" is the name of one of the record holders of the rubik who solved the rubik in 8 seconds. this method contains logarithms which predicts the combination of the rubik in different layers. this method contains from some logarithms called F2l,OLL,PLL. total nomber of the logarithms of F2L is 121.

records
these people are from best world record holders:
Erik Akkersdijk:7.08 sec
Jeesica Fridrich:8.00sec

 

[theace]

lol.

I finally got the "you're the fastest in the world" one! He even went on to tell me to contact Guinness! Gav me his number and said that he knew someone and could pull some strings to get them to let me trey for th record books. I was too busy OHing to pay too much attention haha!

Holy crap! This is literally one of the worst things I've seen. I can't believe how wrong they are! Like, it's like they literally sat down, and completely made everything up!

An FB chat log:

pushkar
**** your cube

You
11:31
I take classes in the evening anyway
you can come then

Pushkar Kadam
11:32
yes
i know how to solve it
ma latest record is 2 min. 17sec

Sagar Parulekar
11:32
which method do you use?

Pushkar Kadam
11:33
algorithms

Sagar Parulekar
11:33
cool method

You
11:33
algorithms is not a method man
>_>

Sagar Parulekar
11:33
lokl

You
11:33
I use fridrich
and average at about 25 sec

Sagar Parulekar
11:33
i use basic fredrich

You
11:33
between 5 to 7

Pushkar Kadam
11:34
how fredrich different frm algorithm

Sagar Parulekar
11:34
are
there are different algos in different methods

You
11:34
you have algorithms in Roux, Petrus, ZZ, LBL, everywhere >_>

Sagar Parulekar
11:34
algorithms are part of methods

Pushkar Kadam
11:36
u start with first making a white cross right
????

You
11:36
not necessarily.

Pushkar Kadam
11:37
i mean any colour cross

You
11:37
you could start with a cross of any colour, an X cross, an EO line, a 2x2x1 Block
depends...

 

[OzBluey]

ooo, I get this one all the time:

"Oh, a Rubik's Cube, I solved one by accident..."

LOL

lol, I copy/pasted most of the site into google translate, what a mission but a lot of laughs!

"Is that an Arubik's cube?"

 

[Sg.Speedcuber]

My cousin: "Cuber Freak! *LOLs* I never get bored of that!."
Best Friend: "I don't get how you solve and re-solve that thing and don't get bored of it"
Random China dude: "Ah you actually dunno how to solve one ah!You only damn taiko(lucky) today only lah!!"
WTF?

 

[Imperatrix]

Best Friend: "I don't get how you solve and re-solve that thing and don't get bored of it"

Another friend of mine said the same thing, except he knows beginner's method so I'm not at a complete loss at him. A couple of weeks ago after coming back from Princeton Fall, I brought my cubes with me and he started playing with my mirror block and then with my F-II back and forth and after an hour of that of timing himself with my stackmat, he finally said, "Aaaaah, Evaa!! I can see why speedcubing is so addicting! I CAN'T HAVE ANOTHER HOBBY!!!! D;"

Some random kid took a 3x3 to school today, and one of the teachers said "My Rubrik Crube looks a mess because I changed the stickers around so much."

 

[flan]

friend: "OH OH HAVE YOU SEEN THE PERRSUIT OF HAPPINESS????"

me: Yessss....I know... will smith solves a rubiks cube in a taxi and gets a the job because of it.

friend: *looks crestfallen*

 

[freshcuber]

Yesterday my friend from swimming who knows I cube sees a mini Rubiks Cube on my Spanish teachers desk. My teacher knows I can solve a cube but only two kids in the class do so I solve it for my teacher while just chilling in the front of the class and everyone was like ZOMG WTF?!?!?!?!?! The solve probably took 2 minutes just cause it was such a monster to turn. My teacher saves it and shows it to a girl who always plays with it and just happened to be in in my classroom the next day while I had Spanish and she asks who solved it so my teacher plays around with her saying she did it. The girls reaction was priceless although it's not exactly G-Rated.

I'll have to bring in my A-V and show them a few sub-30 solves. Then my 4x4. Or I might just wait until I get a Square-1 and really blow them away.

[Lorken]

I wonder why would it not be G-rated in front of a teacher, although, most of my teachers didn't mind anything we do.

"I'll never be able to solve it, it's too hard."
