Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Brought my megaminx to school today. Here are some good ones I heard.

Upon seeing it, "I think I'm going to vomit"

A kid in German asked, "Can I shake it."(scramble)
Me:"Ehh sure"
Kid:"If I shake it can you fix it"
Me:"um yea"
 
A few weeks ago, I was sitting in lunch just scrambling my cube and doing some random movements when a girl walks over to ask our table how the AP Calculus test is. Since I was the only one who had taken it thus far, I looked up from what I was doing and told her it wasn't bad at all and she shouldn't be worried. Once I say this, she immediately says, "Well of course you thought it was easy, you're solving that cube right now at the speed of light and you're not even looking at it. I want to know how the math test was from someone who has the same intelligence level as me." I started laughing so hard I couldn't even tell her that I was just scrambling(edit) it.

"I can solve that in 4 seconds" *I solve it* "woo what the hell!??! how did you solve it? thats like impossible!?!??!"
 
I have my 2x2 out and I'm doing solves with it:
"Omg, that's like soooo easy. I mean look at how small it is."
"See you solve it. You know what I'll give you 5 bucks if you can."
"This'll be the easiest 5 bucks I ever made."

I never got the 5 bucks, he kept insisting that he be given more time, and when I took it away he said "If I had more time I could've.".

Ambiguity gets you nowhere on this forum, to be frank.

Doing computer cube solves in the Apple store today on Heise.
Guy walks over and says, "Hey, I can do that!"
I lol as he doesn't get the controls.
 
I know a non-cuber in my class, who is pretty intelligent.
Once when i was solving my 5x5x5, I was stuck on the last 2 edges , don't know the algorithms already.

He asked what the problem is, and I explained him what I try to do to proceed, he understands the idea of reduction, and he saw that there are only 2 edges left.
Then he told me how to to solve them, and after I finished the cube, I said "thanks" and made the same face veryone else does, when I'm speedsolving my 3x3

Ok it was a simple "destroy the edges and resolve them" thing I was about to figure out by myself like always, but wtf, I'd never expect a noncuber to figure that out
