Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

I just learned how to solve the cube this summer so I brought it into school the first couple days to show my friends, and another one of my friends just happened to learn how to solve one too. We were both solving them and many people became interested, always asking me to solve it for them. After a while a few of our friends wanted to learn, so we helped them. At lunch the other day, one of the girls brought their cube in and a girl at the table shouts, "I wanna mess it up!" So she gives it to her and as she's giving it back, the girl says, "I don't know if you'll be able to get it, I messed that one up pretty hard. Even harder than when I would mess it up for Lauren(me)." I was speechless for a good ten minutes. Also, whenever someone asks me to solve it they always stare intently and then whenever I get to PLL they always go, "Ah, so close! But yet, so far away." And, just as they say away, I solve the cube and just look at them. The look on their face is always priceless.
 
haha yeah, they always think that the more they turn it the harder it is to solve. Also, I don't know if this is just me but have you ever seen a beginner trying to solve a cube, for example they have been solving it for about a day, and they take about half an hour just to get the cross! They never understand how you can do it in about 3 seconds lol.
 
I've had non-cubers telling me that when they were younger they just sat there for about half an hour turning it randomly and they managed to solve it!! I'm like no!?!?!?! That's near impossible. They are fools.

I read this on my iPod so I didn't see right away it was your post and I lol'ed pretty hard. Kristen fails so much at trying to speedcube. I still want to come to your school and blow some minds.

Of course not...they don't know whether if an edge is oriented "good" or "bad", so what do you expect?
 
So how many times have you solved this ? lol

.... now that I think about it, does anyone ever count?

I love the "I solved it when I was a kid" line.
The other day I was walking out of church carrying my cube and a girl says "I have a friend that can solve one of them in like three minutes" I said "Dang it takes me about 40 seconds" lol.

lol the first line so many friends of mine said that :D
 
This guy in my math class told me his brother can solve a 5x5. We were talking about memorization in class and I commented that I can solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded (they don't know, I'm in a new school), which is how me and him got on topic. I believe him because they're both very smart and dedicated. I asked him how fast his brother can 5x5, and he didn't know. I told him I can do it sub 2 min, and he didn't believe me. It lead to me telling him cubing records, but he still didn't believe the records. 1:02 5x5 and 6.77 3x3 singles, etc.

Also, what with all the "an arubiks cubes". Is that like, a mini-meme now or what? Someone used it once, and now I see it a bunch of times on this thread. I've never heard anyone say that.
