A great line FROM a cuber

[Hadley4000]

This is from a fellow cuber. Not some person who asked me on the street about cubes. We were chatting.

Me: You know, now that Erik Akkersdijk broke Dan Cohen's world records, and Rama broke Patricio's record, only 2 WRs are held by Americans.

Her: How many of the National records are held by Americans?



Seriously. And she didn't realize it for a while. Quite funny.

 

[AvGalen]

I think that just shows that she thinks America equals the world.

It reminds me of a magic restringing tutorial that was in korean/chinese/"asian" and one of the replies was "what the #^%$^%$ dude, speak American". (the next reply pointed out that american isn't a language)

 

[Hadley4000]

I think that just shows that she thinks America equals the world.

She isn't that way at all, though.

 

[AvGalen]

I think that just shows that she thinks America equals the world.

She isn't that way at all, though.

Than it just shows that I think that Americans think they rule the world

Well, did she realize how stupid it was of her to say that afterward? Because, sometimes stuff like that slips out. But if she kept going with it...then wow.

oh I get it now! took me a while XD

 

[DavidWoner]

i would also like to point out that the 2 WRs you mention are both held by Chris Hardwick, for 4x4 BLD and 5x5 BLD

 

[Dene]

LMAO. Flaming American's is one of my favourite topics.

 

[AvGalen]

I just realized that
1 person from the USA has 2 Wr's
3 persons from The Netherlands have 7 + 1 + 1 WR's

Actually, this is the full list of country's / people with WR's:

The Netherlands 9 / 3
Erik Akkersdijk 7
Rama Temmink 1
Guus Razoux Schultz 1

Hungary 6 / 3
Olivér Perge 1
Mátyás Kuti 4
Maté Horváth 1

Korea 4 / 3
Lee Seung-Woon 1
Chang Jee-Hoon 2
Kang Ji-Jon 1

Poland 3 / 3
Rafal Guzewicz 1
Tomasz Kiedrowicz 1
Grzegorz Prusak 1

Japan 2 / 2
Yu Nakajima 1
Yohei Oka 1

USA 2 / 1
Chris Hardwick 2

France 1 / 1
Edouard Chambon 1

Germany 1 / 1
Tim Habermaas 1

Spain 1 / 1
Javier Paris 1

The USA really needs to get some more WR's. They have great cubers but just not good enough for gold at the moment. I even predict that Chris Hardwick will lose his 5x5x5 (and maybe his 4x4x4) WR to Rafal at the Poznan Open 2008. The USA are really dominating 4x4x4_blind (8 out of the first 14) and 5x5x5_blind (3 out of the first 4) but again, I think they will lose that gold position(s)

 

[CharlieCooper]

england need to sort themselves out.

(sorry arnaud it must look like i'm stalking you around the forum this morning )

 

[AvGalen]

It's not stalking, I consider it 4 play

 

[CharlieCooper]

seriously, if i open my curtains in a minute and you are outside the window smiling and waving, i will be frightened

 

[AvGalen]

Seriously, if I open my door tonight and you are inside smiling and waving, I will be happy

 

[blade740]

And if someone looks outside and you're both smiling and waving at each other, you'll look like complete weirdos.

 

[Dene]

Lol, this conversation is funny. As far as world records are concerned, I need to shapen up, seeing as I don't have any, and I should have them all

 

[Escher]

its all right, i'll get the 3x3 2h record

 

[KConny]

I remember saying something stupid, just like this and not realizing it for a couple of seconds. I just like took a short cut in my reasoning. Anyway my brother asked me to calculate some poker odds. He said that one had was like K J of suite and the other one was two Aces. I asked: "Are the aces suited?" He replied "What?" I had to ask him three times before I noticed my mistake.

I've had people ask "But how do you know when it's done?" after I've explained how blindfold solving works.
