10. Could you teach me? (That's why God invented the internet.)

Wrong. I would be happy to teach anyone who ask me. Why are everyone being so cruel? Non-cubists aren't bad or stupid. Also, I don't think God invented the Internet. I don't like pompous people whether they are cubists or not.

I agree. My dad always tells me that I shouldn't teach people how to do it, but I'm always glad too. I especially laugh when they bring their cube to school the next day and show their skills to everybody.
 
244. (This one has probably been said before)
PERSON: I can solve it!
ME: Really? How?
PERSON: You do... um... right inverted, down inverted, right, down, and then... I forget the rest...

245.
PERSON: A 2x2 is So EASY!!!!
ME: Really? Want to try?
PERSON: Sure, I can do it in 10 seconds.
ME: (Scrambles with four moves)
PERSON: (Takes cube) oh, nevermind, I don't want to

Here's an interesting question. Why do people say the 2x2 is so easy? Can they really actually solve it? (I'm not talking about speedcubers, I'm talking about people that have never solved a cube)

I often give my 2x2 to peeps to try and only one has ever solved one sub-minute (and I was amazed because he solved it in about 10 moves, which as far as I know is optimal)
the rest struggled like 20 minutes before giving it back
 
247.*after taking an edge out because I am still fine tuning the tension* "So THAT's how you solve it, cheater."
248.*Solve right in front of them to prove I was not cheating.* "How did you do that by rearranging the pieces and not solving it.?"
249.You fixed it!
250.*After getting my new cube* So did you get a new cube because you already solved the other one?

I think that they think that because it's not a "real" Rubik's cube, that they can solve it easy (it's true that there is quite a bit of difference between 2's and 3's, 3's and 4's and so on)

251 (I think.... correct me if I'm wrong): This is sort of something people DIDN'T say... I had been working on the cube trying to solve it without using a book, or the internet, it took me 9 months. In China, I was working on it (we were going to some weird place, so I wasn't missing out on anything, I think) and I finally did RDR' (I had been doing that for... I don't know, 6 months?) and FINALLY I finished it. I immediately jumped up from my seat and ran to the front to show my parents I was totally ecstatic... everyone on the bus that was NOT related to me just looked over, saw the cube in my hand, then went back to listening to the tour guide.

(yes long... sorry?)
 
252.) No matter how many times it's been said (hear and in real life), this one still annoys me like a beast: "The way I solved it; I just took all of the stickers off"
ME: "Won't they not be able to go back on? (and lose the adhesive)
Them: No, it works.
Me:...

253.) Same person says the same thing, I say:
"You see, that's a waste of a cube, take the pieces off and put it back together again."
Them:...
Me Thinking: (well not really) "Of Course, we can't do anything rational, now can we?"
 
255.) The words "take...stickers...off" in any form of concatenation, the word "pattern", "trick", "did you memorize the pattern" etc, etc.
 
257.) Me: *Starts solving cube*
Them: Are you trying to get the white side?
Me: That's one method of doing it. The way I'm doing it, I solve a 2x2x2 cube, expand it into a 2x2x3, and then all I have to do to get the rest of it is to turn these two layers, but first I have to fix the weird edges.
Them: So are you trying to get the orange side?

Well, obviously, we either:
1) set it up, and therefore are cheating,
2) looked at it during the memorization phase, and therefore are cheating,
3) move our fingers too fast, and therefore aren't human, or
4) our cubes are too "slippery", and therefore aren't legal.

You guys don't feel the colors?

Of course not; everyone knows that I have X-ray vision and can do it supa-fast with a blindfold on.
 
258.) *does a combination of Us and M's from solved state till cube is resolved*
Them: Wow you solved that fast do it again
Me: What? I wasn't solving it
 
259) (Halfway through a PLL time attack) Hey, can you solve that?
Me: (Starting V Perm) Yeah
Person: Show me
Me: Finish V-Perm, do a T-Perm, and it's done.
Person: Wow! You're fast!
 
300. After I blindsolve inside a pocket: "You just switched it out for another one!"

At which point I take off my jacket, throw it to the person, and walk away.
