Best reaction to you solving the cube

"Wow! how do you do that?"

I've been asked that about 10 times from the same person, and 10+ people have asked me that SAME question

Got a new one yesterday.

These are all pretty funny and interesting.

One person thought I was better than God. Here's her reasoning. God can destroy as fast as he can create, but I can undo 2 minutes of scrambling in about 25-30 seconds.

What the ****!!!, Holy ****!!!!

Screamed by a very drunk, very butch woman upon me solving a 4x4 and 3x3 after she scrambled them for what seemed like hours.

haha you suck at scrambling then. You know that if you scramble using 18 moves its going to be just about the same thing as if you used 1000 moves right? You are not making it more random. The chaos involved in you scrambling the cube makes sure that you would not be able to solve it easily even after 10 moves. Yes, after 10 moves you have less number of possible configurations, but it is still on order of 18^10 configurations, and slightly less due to symmetries/bias in scrambling.

Andrew Kang solved 3500 cubes in one day (that's the record). If you gave him all the scrambles of 10 moves, and had him solve the cubes every single day, he would be solving all of that for roughly 2 million years.

Sorry, I don't understand. Could you explain it to me? If he already solved 3500 cubes in one day, why would it take him 2 million moves to do it again?

I think he meant "if you gave him every possible cube configuration that could be reached in 10 moves, and got him to solve each one at a rate of 3500 cubes per day, it would take around 2 million years". My interpretation could be wrong.

yes. i was just trying to make the point that even after 10 moves the cube is pretty damn scrambled already.

I think he meant 2 minute scrambling from the other people

Too bad it really isn't.

I'm sure that if i gave you a cube scrambled using 10 moves you would be able to optimally backtrack all moves right away Stefan, i know.
but for us other mortals it really is
