Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Anything that lolben says.

EDIT: And that moment of defeat when my friend got an LL skip on 2x2 because he can do the 1st layer... I owed him a money.

"Dude, how do you do that."
"I memorized like 70 algorithms so I can do it really fast."
"Did you learn the Dan Brown method? It's like 3 algorithms"

*me solving 2 3x3 cubes in a row*
Friend: are you doing that for the talent show?
Me: Naw i'm too slow, and it isnt really special?
Some random dude: well you couldnt really call that talent, because its mathematics.
Me: *facepalm* the cube and the algorithms used to solve it were probably made using mathematics, but i dont solve it using math. its just logics.
Dude: well its math.
some other non cuber: it isn't math, its logics and memorization.
O.o that non cuber was pretty smart...

Rubik's cubes are 100% math...

EDIT: In my opinion, this post wins.

cubing can involve math

but you don't actually need any math to solve a cube

"you just pull the stickers off and place them in the right spot"

other random non-cubing person sitting next to me reading a book: -looks up- "That cube doesn't have stickers "

Me: =D

was using my sticker-less ZhanChi

The worst is when people say, "I can do that!". And then when you give them your cube, they do it.

so on the bus ride home yesterday a girl sitting next to me is all like "you know there is onlya handfull of people that can do what you can do"
i was like "yea im like 6000 in the world and im so fast"
she also said "isnt it all math"
in school some kid said "are you really good at geometry" i was like no
during lunch i went to the library and practiced and the librarian saw me and i got the usual "your so fast" and "how do you do that" and even "ive seen other kids do it but not as fast as you" the next day i was in the library for foods class and she said "i was bragging to my family about you"
and some kids in my foods class were giving me the usual questions but one kid was all like "your gonna get carpal tunnel syndrome from cubing so much" and i just stopped talking to all of them
and in my PC rep. and main. class a girl put duct tape on my cube and practically wrapped it around the cube
i wasted so much time getting it off without it pulling off all my stickers
then some kids were all like"just get new ones"
they dont understand the part where its not the same and that these are high quality stickers that hardly ever need replacing.

Today, I was cubing at school, and a kid comes up to me.
"Dude, don't lie, I know you take off the stickers and put them back on when you 'solve' it." -Chuckle- "Anyone can do that."

show that the kid no nothing about cubing...hehehe

[MostEd]

i was in the underground cubing on the train on my way to the cube meet
and my cube popped
i put it back wrong
then the 2 girls watching me solve it looked like they pwned me because i had to take it apart and put it back solved...

 

[Jaycee]

^ When that happens I sometimes force a pop.

Whenever I'm cubing in class, and I put my cube down solved with a layer or two slightly off (like L and R are both ~15 degrees off), Half the people who were watching go "Nope! You didn't solve it! It has to be perfect!". Makes me mentally :fp

I learn from this thread so I can prevent stupidity from all my non-cuber friends.

 

[kpcube]

hahahaha...you got burend _(",)

How so? non cuber says i pull off sticker other non cuber says cube is absent of stickers to pull off. Me = confused

The same thing happened to me except after they said that I let them try to do it and they spend 15 minutes with it unable to solve it.

I was cubing on the bus with my 7x7x7, and somebody asked if I could solve it. I said that I couldn't solve it, and that I just liked spending 50 dollars on a puzzle that I'll never complete. She watched me solve it twice before that, but somehow still believed me.

Imagine a pop on a bus. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.

So my best friend was playing with my zhanchi, you know just scrambling it for me to solve, and he pops it, idc really because he is my friend, but he starts bawling like OMG DUDE IM SOOOOO SORRY, ILL BUY YOU A NEW ONE. I get him to calm down and put the pieces in with ease and he starts laughing his head off for obsessing over that little thing.

My band teacher said a 2x2 was supposedly a training cube for the 3x3.
