Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[Rubiks560]

Yes, I fail comp 5x5. I was 2:20 at cat mouse, but my fastest was way over that officially . My best avg of 5 was 1:57. Right now I average 1:59. My singles are around 1:50, but still not sub 1:50 single. Don't expect me to be like Jacob C

In other words, I'm border-line

Sigh......I think it's time I practice 5x5....

Sigh......I think it's time I practice 5x5....

I stopped because I can't get faster.

Some random kid at school said to me yesterday:

Hi. I can solve a Rubik's cube in 2.3 seconds. I can do it behind my back AND with my eyes closed in 6 seconds. My dad can do it in 1.9 seconds.

Those were his EXACT words.

About a month ago, on the bus...

Impressed Guy (Whispering): Hey.. Look at that boy, he's solving the cube real quick.
Arrogant Guy (Real Loud): There's some formula to it, you just have to go online and memorize them and it'll be damn easy, my cousin can solve the cube, too.
Impressed Guy (Whispering): Yea, but this dude's much faster than your cousin!

Arrogant Guy continues to rant on about how I must have few friends, no life, a lot of time, how I could spend the time on more useful stuff, etc.
It went on for about half-an-hour.

I got so pissed off that I took my 3x3x3 and LITERALLY smashed his head and ran off when it was my stop.
I didn't turn back but I know that the dude I whacked fell down immediately, so..

Meh.

[EDIT]
Oh, yea, I frequent parts of Singapore where all the 'gangsters' hang out at.
I've been using my cubes as weapons for self-protection a lot ^^

I woulda told him he has no life.

 

[LearningCode]

Well, after I brained him..
For all we know, he really might not have a 'life' anymore <.<

anyway, I find that the "Rubik's" brand cube that I sprayed WD40 all over (I thought all lube was the same ><) works the best as a weapon ^^
It's stiff and doesn't break on impact.

 

[ianography]

i always get "i pulled off the stickers" or "look at how fast it turns!" oh they have no idea.

 

[LearningCode]

"i pulled off the stickers" <--- My aunts and uncles crack that 'joke' every now and then

[EDIT]
I also hate it when people compare me to 'That guy on youtube who did it in less than 10 seconds' or 'The little girl on TV who solves faster than I do'

 

[loverthehater]

They will mix it up for you and say "I'm going to mix it up soooo good!"

omg ALL of my friends do that and i just want to break it to them that it doesn't really matter! but i don't know how to say it to them because when I do they just go "UH-UH!" (the "no" uh uh) then they get all pissy on me lol

 

[loverthehater]

Whenever i tell one of my friends i ordered a new cube they say "how big is it?"..... WHO GIVES A S**T?! lol

 

[IamWEB]

^2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, some twisty puzzle they've never seen before... isn't that what they mean?

 

[ilikecubing]

My friend on looking at my 4x4 and 5x5 cubes says.

'ARE THOSE CUBOIDS?'

 

[uberCuber]

My friend on looking at my 4x4 and 5x5 cubes says.

'ARE THOSE CUBOIDS?'

and the answer is yes

 

[loverthehater]

and the answer is yes

lol

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

It looks like it's about to explode! (7x7)
If I mix it up, I'm sure you can't do it!
I just peel the st... Oh, wait. This one has already been used about 1000 times.
You know that Asian kid who can solve it in like, 5 seconds?
Rubik's triangle.
WHAT??!!! HE'S NOT EVEN CHINESE!!!! HOW DOES HE DO IT???!!! (This one annoys me a lot, considering that most people expect all Asians to be Chinese)
You cheated/broke it! (Pop)
It's the Rubik's disc! (Clock)
He's so good at math!
Aerobics cube.

And also just a side note that is completely off topic, I noticed that the GhostHand master magic has 6 rings in its scrambled state, and 5 rings in its solved state.

 

[ilikecubing]

and the answer is yes

How?

 

[CubeLTD]

Lol. I heart this thread. 162 pages of fun to read =O. Can't wait.

 

[uberCuber]

How?

Definition of cuboid: A cuboid is a solid figure bounded by six rectangular faces.

A square is a special type of rectangle, so therefore a cube is a special type of cuboid.

"Okay, you can do it, but not fast. I saw this guy on YouTube who did it faster than you."
"So, is that one easier?" -talking about a 2x2 in comparison to a 3x3

Dude,A cuboid is something which has different length,breadth and height,so 4x4 and 5x5 are cubes,not cuboids,thats why there are called Big cubes....not big cuboids

They are just the same as 3x3 cubes but with a bigger volume
