Best reaction to you solving the cube

[Demon Parasite]

Probably something like "Can I see your Rubik's Cinnamon?"

I have no clue what puzzle he was talking about, but I started cracking up.

Anyway, I've never really had any out of the ordinary reactions. Just the standard "OMG" and "YOU ARE A F'ING GENIUS"

"Oh my god how'd you do that!
Teach me!"

Although, for thanksgiving, we had refugees come over who knew not that much English, so my family was teaching them stuff also.
Of coarse I started to show off got a really lucky case(x cross with normal cross and OLL skip) and all they said was "Magic".

i love when that happens of course usually when i try to show my skills to someone, i get really unlucky cases damn Murphy's laws. But most of the people don't care as much about the time... they just point and laugh at how fast i can turn it with my hands

Anything under a minute is the same for non-cubers. Like, a 22 second time for me is terrible, but it's all the same to them .

not to be discriminating or racist in any way, but theres alot of mexican teenagers at my high school, and they seem to freak out more than anyone, i did a blindfold solve at my old lunch table and like 12 people were so amazed that they were calling friends over and security gaurds to watch me. but i refused to do it again :] [mainly cuz i figured it would be a DNF] haha

 

[hdskull]

*after I blded in front of the whole class* "You're a GENIUS! did you skip 2 grades or something?"

 

[Lofty]

I was at an event this summer with a bunch of youth from loads of different churches and at lunch one day I had a crowd of almost every person there, a hundred maybe, and multiple people filmed me. And my solves were only around 30 seconds with both hands then..

I was solving the cube at school (lunch) and I solved it and a girl sitting near me asked, "Can I have your babies? Will you have my babies?".

o.O

I wish a girl said that to me too

 

[Rama]

Well I was in the H&M to buy some ''appropiate'' clothing for my mum's wedding and as usual I got bored and practised a bit and suddenly a group of girls screamed constantly and said ''Just like Will Smith!''. And after that they filmed another solve of me.

They kept saying ''Let's put this on youtube'', and now I found out they actually did.

Hi Guys,

Back in 1982, after I just became dutch champion and became 2nd at the world champions, I gave a 4x4x4 and 3x3x3 cube-demonstration in a big toy-store in Amsterdam. After I solved a cube in about 20 seconds or so and a student-aged girls said to me : "My brother is much faster in solving the cube". So I said "Well your brother must be famous then, what is his name?" She turned red and just walked away while everybody was laughing.

Other positive reactions where: "You'll need a high-speed camera to see what he's doing"

 

[llamapuzzle]

The best I've gotten is probably "Do you get straight A's in math?
and second...
"Holy ****..."
and third...
"Woah..."


I don't get good ones.:/

 

[hube]

i've only done it a handful of times in public. i dont really get any reaction.

yeah some people don't care. And others think you are the next messiah or something.

speaking of which, yesterday i was solving the cube in the subway, and a guy who saw me solve it offered me a job! lol?!
this is not just a hobby anymore, this is starting to be serious

 

[slncuber21]

ha i was doing the 3x3 in homeroom one day and a bunch of kids crowded around as soon as they heard me asking "who wants to scramble?" so i did it in about 2:40 (when i was just starting) and a kid named Chad looked at me and said "Holy ****.....Holy ****..." He just kept saying it over and over again, it was kinda creepy.

i was solving while waiting in line at a store and the 2 women that were behind me were getting a kick out of it so i asked them if they wanted to time me and when they saw the result, one just gasped and the other wanted to have everyone in the store see... again, rather creepy.... its like they never saw one get solved before

best: I was in a taxi coming home from a gig yesterday with a couple of guys I met there. There was too much traffic so I start cubing. When I solved it the kids where speechless and the driver stopped driving!When the others started beeping he was like "She solved that thiiiing!"

worstmy best friend)NOT AGAIN!IN YOUR BAG NOWWWW!

 

[darkzelkova]

lol usually people are amazed. once I was on a train and there was another cuber xD so that was pretty funny.

 

[SkateTracker]

"Woah, how the hell did you do that?"

"You're a freak of nature" (yeah, I took it as a compliment)

"Is that some sort of magic?"

I always get something different every time I cube in public, lol.

 

[Lucas Garron]

After last year's talent show (I did speed, OH, and BLD [successful the first day]) some girl shouted "You're my hero."
Really? Yeah, my cubing's gonna save the world. :rolleyes:
(I'm gonna vote for Tyson Mao, then. Shelley and Leyan will make it a good cabinet.)

I cube on BART every Tuesday, on the way to Math Circle. (Unlike Chris Gardner, I make it through the door with my cube. Last week I had to run through a station to catch the missynchronized transfer train and barely made it.)
I think some guy once waited an extra station to watch a 5-minute Megaminx solve...

And I get lots of censorable responses overall.

 

[martian]

I often do my cubing at school, and my classmates are all amazed. They say, "Wow........", "You must be a genius!" and more...................
