Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[TDM]

I get that

ZOMGZ DO YOU HAVE A 100x100

Solving a 4x4...

Non-cuber: OMG DOES THAT ONE HAVE LIKE TWELVE SIDES?!??!/1/11
Other non-cuber: Don't be stupid, it clearly has five pieces.

 

[Ultimate Cuber]

I used to take the stickers off.

YES!!! Haha I never fail to hear this when I'm cubing around non-cubers!

Here are some other common one's that I hear:
1. "Rubick's Pyramid"
2. "There must a trick to solving it"
3. When I'm drilling algs and everytime the cube returns toma solved state the person tells me I already had it solved.
4. *Me solving a 2x2* Oh I bet I could solve that one. "Can't even solve a face*

Gotta love non-cuber's reactions/comments though lol.

4. *Me solving a 2x2* Oh I bet I could solve that one. "Can't even solve a face*

I literally took me about 10 minutes to teach my friend how to solve the first layer of a 2x2 in under a minute haha

 

[TDM]

I know someone who can solve a 3x3 in a few minutes but can't solve a 2x2 given half an hour. You can be able to solve a cube, but you're still a non-cuber

 

[Rocky0701]

It takes him that long to solve a 2x2? Doesn't he understand that it's just the corners?

 

[TDM]

It takes him that long to solve a 2x2? Doesn't he understand that it's just the corners?

Yes, and I've told him that, but he just can't solve it. Probably because he usually solves the LL of a 3x3 edges then corners, and he doesn't know where the corners go because there are no solved edges to look at. I tell him look to look at the first layer... I don't get why he can't do it, but he can't.

From a real stupid kid : It can turn?? Also: "I solved a row of three pieces!!"

 

[NamesYUNoLeft]

*Cube pops whilst solving, and I need to flip over an edge during OLL*
"That's cheating."
I suppose that's understandable if you aren't a cuber, but this one is inexcusable:
"Once I was just randomly turning the sides, and it solved itself. Hahahahahaha!" --Almost everyone.

 

[NamesYUNoLeft]

***** in school stole my zhanchi. didn't notice until it was too late
went to him next day after asking around, and asked what he'd done with it
he popped it in study hall and threw all the pieces away

Ouch, that really sucks.

 

[DeeDubb]

I love when they scramble it, they always turn away and hide what they're doing, like I'm trying to memorize how they scramble, haha.

 

[Rocky0701]

When i'm solving my WeiLong and people claim that it is a "Generic" Rubik's brand or a "Rubik's knockoff" *Facepalm*

 

[Slippery Sid]

This might be nitpicky, but I really dislike when my v cube 7 is called a "giant rubik's cube" it's not even a rubik's cube, IT'S A V CUBE



"HOLY ****ING **** YOU'RE A GENIUS YOU MUST BE SMARTER THAN EINSTEIN WHOOOOAAAA"

How do you solve each side without messing up another?

I bet if I flip one of the pieces, he will get SUPER confused cause he can't solve it! (we would know it)

I'm gonna scramble it 100 times really good, he'll NEVER solve it!

Don't watch me scramble it, that's cheating!

my friend saw the logo on my Weilong and said, *see this? i like this *****.*

 

[WinterCub3r]

ok so this is ths one i get EVERY. SINGLE. TIME....... "Isn't there just a pattern you do over and over?" also this, Me: "you have to use algorithms" Them: "oh, I'm really bad at math" just never ending face palms.

Yeah, I get that a lot. I'm humble so I usually just say "a few patterns, in the right situations." Then they don't pursue much further. They aren't impressed, but I'm not cubing to impress anyone.

 

[CiaranBeahan]

Guy number 1. "OMG how do you solve it that fast?!!!"

Guy number 2. "He cheats, he puts Vaseline in it"

I love how using lube is considered cheating, especially with vaseline lol.

I was working on CMLL, and was trying to remember one of the cases, so I pulled out my handy printout, and my friend saw me and said 'OMG, you're such a cheater! I'm going to tell everyone!'

Haha, great friend you've got ratting you out

 

[Note]

I always find when I'm practicing an algorithm over and over, a person just walks up to me and is like,"Hey guys look, he can solve the cube really fast!" Then I have to go explain that I had it at the solved state to begin with and when I actually scramble the cube and try to solve it, they're like,"Didn't you solve it faster before?"
