Some lady saw me playing with my cube today.

Lady: Is that a REAL Rubik's Cube?
Me: [I didn't really know what she meant.] Uhhh... yeahhh...?
Lady: How do you do that? And with one hand too!
Me: I just... do...?

Ok, I guess my responses are dumber than her questions. I didn't know what to say.
 
We had a cube meetup. Lol this one kid. Told his mom he could solve a 9x9. All he did was parallel layers. :fp. And this kid kept asking us about out personal lives. I told him my name was feliks. One boy named Michael we told the boy was named Womack. He asked if the cube (a wittwo) was to pull apart so far. This kid was so annoying. Kept taking our cubes. Coolster01 and Youcuber2 can provide more info.
 
Before I always got annoyed with "how do you do that?" and would always say something correct and that they wouldn't understand.

Now I just tell them you do 4 more again and again then it will solve. R U R' U'
I also show them it works (with the cube solved)
Hahahaha! Trolling... With non cubers is fun. :)

I'm posting this here, if not to make me feel better about it, than just to contribute to the thread.

Be warned, it's long.

So the other day in school, I found out that I had a test in stat, which means my lunch would be earlier(and with a different group of people than normal) to allow for everyone to finish the test in the allotted time. I don't normally go to the cafeteria when I have a test, because I don't know anyone in that particular lunch, but this day I was really hungry. I got there, got my lunch, and ate it. After I finished, I took out my megaminx, like I usually do at lunch, to practice. I put in my earbuds and started solving and listening to music, at a rather loud volume. A few solves later, at the end of a particularly bad solve(sup-1 D:), I noticed a group of what looked like sophomores and juniors(I'm a senior) staring at me. When I finished the solve, they started clapping. Then they got the rest of the cafeteria to clap. This is where I might lose some of you. I'm a shy person. I don't normally like attention, and especially not the type of attention they seemed to be giving me. I literally would have left and walked home if I could have. I was embarrassed for a split second, but then my anger took over and I gave them the evil eye and continued solving. They clapped after the next solve too. After that I just put my mega away.
Later, still at lunch, I saw one of the kids that were staring at me walking out of the cafeteria with a school administrator-type-person. I assume it was for the clapping and how it seemed to make me feel, but I dunno. While he was walking away, he put his hands up like he was a celebrity and everyone started clapping for him. As he walking past me, I felt a strong urge to punch or trip him. Not all of this is cubing related by the way, but I think it has enough non-cuber interaction to be in this thread.

tl;dr I hate [the people in] my school. So much.
 
Hm...
"You're using a cheating device!"
(When it pops) "Stop cheating!"
(Doing fingertricks) "How do you do that??!?!? *Tries it* *Pops* What the heck! Why does that happen? :/
"I'm gonna mix it up REAL good this time!" (Tells them that they can't really do that*
 
I loan a 57mm Guhong v-2, to another physics grad student a couple weeks ago. Today he brings the cube into the department tea and asks if anyone wants to scramble it for him as he's been studying how to do layer by layer from a youtube video.

So I volunteer and while scrambling I twist a corner on the side he can't see. Forty-five minutes of frustration later, he says "none of my algorithms seem to be working on this" so I ask him to let me try. Remembering which way I added the twist, I simply rescramble the cube and this time give it the opposite twist. Of course it solves again.

I'm wondering how many times I can do this. They don't let you into physics grad school unless you're fairly smart but grad students do have a tendency to believe what they're told.

lol, that is funny.
 
Lol. This kid brought me his cube. It was on pll. There was a two corner swap. And no edges. I take out an edge to switch them. I get called a cheater. Luckily my friend who is kind of a cuber confirmed it was impossible so they believed it.
