Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

No, I do not understand how the 43 quintillion is found.

Here's a good video explaining it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV9k6dRQQe4

You could at least show him that each sticker does not move but they're attached to their respective cubies.

 

[piece popper]

I said something about a t-perm once and this guy was like "Eww, you're a pervert." What?

Also, If the stickers moved, wouldn't there be more permutations? Tell your brother good job for knowing how many stickers there are.




Edit (because of multi-posting rule): I just asked my mom if I could lubricate my bigger cubes, and she said,"No, thats cheating." and I was like "According to the World Cubers Association-" Then my mom died laughing:fp wtf?

I remember seeing an explanation somewhere. Search the forums, it should be somewhere, waiting to prove your friend wrong.

She was highlighting how funny it was that you'd actually ask for permission to do such a thing.

In public today, "there's this kid in my school who can do a 16 sided one in 7 seconds."

To clear things up, my mom doesn't like the idea of lubing. She thinks it's cheating. My dad on the other hand is fine with modding. My mom is not accquainted with cubing.

Oh, and, in Church this morning, this girl in my class said she knew somebody who could solve the cube in less than 5 minutes, and I was like, I can solve it in under one minute. Everybody was like, "Nahh", "sure", "other things like that":fp.

Maybe your signature holds the answer...?
Also, RUR'U' shall always be the sexy move!

 

[piece popper]

Thats not what I said about the t-perm though. I was talking about its swapping effect. And I usually do the t-perm twice instead of the sexy move.

 

[Indiana]

Can you show me that?
I'll mix it up so much you can't solve it!
can you give me your square?
is there a 4x4x4 square?
i bet a 2x2x2 is simpler!
is that a triangular cube (mastermorphix)?
AND THE MOST IRRITATING
i can solve in 1 minute
*throws it away and breaks it in 10 seconds*

 

[sneaklyfox]

Funny how in public when you're playing with the cube, most people assume you're "trying to figure it out" rather than that you're merely "solving it".

 

[Yuxuibbs]

*takes my cube without permission*
"Look at how fast I can turn it!" and/or "Look I can turn it fast just like her!"
*drops cube and 4 center caps fly off*

I got rubiks triangle and I mixed it up good, didn't I? Strangely, the guy who said rubiks triangle actually knew how to solve the pyraminx.

Well that makes two of you, assuming you can solve the pyraminx.

Brought Square-1 to school:
Non-cuber friend, "Another Cube?"
I do a /
Cuber friend, "it's not a cube right now!"

Cute girl saw me. Couldn't tell if she was impressed or thought I was a nerd. Probably the latter.

[Bestsimple]

I hate it when people just take my cube without asking and play with it.

 

[Clarkeeyyy]

"My record is 'insert age' ", It was funny, the first few times.

 

[mark49152]

Non-cuber watches me scramble, frowns, takes cube, turns one face, stares at it for a couple of seconds, puts it down, looks away, and says... "what's the point in that?"

 

[CarlBrannen]

"Don't scramble that cube; you said you have to give it to the judges unscrambled, at the contest tomorrow."
