Experiences with Cubers Outside of the Cubing World

[ianography]

Yeah, just what the title says. I'll start it off. So, when I lived in Georgia (before I was a cuber), my family and I went to the World of Coke museum in Atlanta. While going to wait in line, I pass this guy with a white cube in hand and he was solving it quite fast (atleast it was fast to me at that time, I didn't stay to watch).

So yeah, just post your stories below.

There's like an infestation of cubers at my school. They just pop out of nowhere as if they reproduce asexually. I don't know half of them

yay for science and cubes

In an airport in Cuba, I was cubing in the waiting area. I turned around and there was another guy cubing

I came across a rather interesting cuber a few months ago. She had figured out how to solve all but a few edges intuitively. Her approach was rather strange. She'd orient the red face and then permute the cross using R Li (M) style moves and then the corners using something similar to R D Ri Di. She'd proceed to do the last 2 layers intuitively. I never really understood what she was doing because of the sheer weirdness of the method. I taught her CFOP later on. She never really figured out how to get the last 2 to 3 edges in place with her method.

lol

Never, although once someone told me their brother collected different cubes, and described what sounded like a Megaminx.

I met a guy who could solve a rubik's cube using a beginner method. He had a really weird U perm

Lol. Cuba..Cuber

In term 4 last year I was the only one who cubed and brang my cube to school.
Now in term 1 more people know how to.... I enjoy thrashing them (I average 25 they average 3+mins)

i have made 15 people avid cubers so i have them teaching people and now i see cubers everywhere they also buy my old cubes!

Last week a taxi driver yelled something at me while I was solving on my way to home. The guy dropped a costumer a few blocks away, caught me up down the street and stopped next to me. What a pleasant surprise: he pulled a crappy cube and starting cubing with me

I know which cab I'll be calling from now on

I'm one of the only cubers (i'm aware of) in my school. But when I saw someone with a V-Cube 7 out i was happy to know i wasn't the only one.

A kid my class could solve it i learned had race but that was a few months later then it took me ages to solve the cross. I was 11 and a half

 

[Andreaillest]

I once saw a girl at my old school with a 4x4. That was quite some time ago.

 

[Clayy9]

There are two people in my school that can solve the cube faster than me, and 2-4 others that know how to solve the cube.

R2 U F B R2 F' B' U R2?

 

[aikikai_cuber]

i entered secondary school this year, i found out 1/2 of the students are cubers n when i stop by my primary schoo, everybody is cubing

When Breandan and me were at the McDonald's in Vienna a day before Austrian Open, we saw a girl solve a cube a few times. Not fast, but it was a speedcube which at least shows that she had interest. We didn't pull out our cubes, but we were actually wondering if we'd see her the next day (which was not the case) ^^ I wonder how she'd reacted if she had got to know there's two of the fastest cubers around next to her ^^

I'm sorry what? I don't understand your notation.

i = ', causes less confusion so Ri = R'

There's lots of cubers at my school but none are particularly fast.
