Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[Jaycee]

You just got epic ninja'd

Yeah, I went back and quoted already.

 

[Noahaha]

I think I have good responses to some of them:

"I'm gonna scramble it so well you'll never solve it"
"It doesn't matter really, since any position can be solved in 20 moves."

"Don't you just need to know the <algorithms>?
"I only use algorithms for the last step"

"I just take the stickers off"
*takes out stickerless GuHong*

*takes out the small notebook I keep my algs in*
"What's that"
"Just my notes"
"You have no life"
*Classic video game argument*

Also, one story:
I was at a Japanese restaurant on Christmas (Yes, I'm Jewish) and we had a very nice waitress. She saw me playing with the cube the whole time, and then afterwards made me solve it in front of her. When I finished, she freaked out and it was funny.

A non cuber trying to scramble a square-1 makes me cringe.

NOOOOOOOO.
Its like my dayan 4x4 popping in the hall ways at school. A school of 4000. Never get my cube back.

 

[IanTheCuber]

I have a school of 300 and a class of 11. This evil kid says, "You cheat at that thing. Your too stupid to solve it."
Next day, I bring my Square 1 and my ZhanChi. I solve them both.
The same kid says, "Your'e a hacker. That thing has a motor that you can hear it say the moves."

I take it apart, and show him what it is.

"It takes you 15 seconds? It'd take me 15 seconds to make my first move."

 

[pdilla]

Here's a hair puller:

"How many have you done?"

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Ha
When ever people tell me how fast i am i always say
"what cube?"

 

[IanTheCuber]

"Do you know how to make all the things on that right?"

What the heck?

 

[IMSLOW1097]

( i avg about 17)
"It would take me 17 eternities to solve it once!"

 

[DRAGON_RYU]

We were cubing in class when our english teacher saw my friend..
and they FORCED me to solve for him......
so I gave him my GuHong to scramble...
he kept turning L and R only........
I mean is it seriously that hard to understand that a cube has six sides?
That four turns on the same face doesn't do anything?
do you HAVE to be a cuber to understand that?
Seriously I'm confused.

 

[DRAGON_RYU]

They sometimes even do R4 then realize and do an R' after that......

*playing with stickerless guhong in class*
female: ohh dats a different one. yo momma bought you dat so you can't take da stickers off huh haha
*facepalm*

Guffaw! From their point of view, you got pwnd.

*facepalm*

I still don't get why people are THAT obsessed with the stickers. Don't they realise that peeling the stickers off from anything is never a good idea?

BTW, it really annoys me how people call 'the 4x4 cube' to the 2x2... I know it has 4 pieces/tiles in one side, but that doesn't make it a 4x4. My friends started tripping balls when I showed them a real 4x4...

 

[CuberMan]

My friends: Why didn't you get bored, solving that rubik's cube? scrambling... solving... scrambling... solving... You better get a life!
Me: -_-

 

[rubikmaster]

Also, do an R move and give it to a person. If they're somewhat smart, they would just solve it with an R' or whatever move needed as the orientation could be different. If the person has no common sense whatsoever, he/she will do and R3. That is something my friend did one time, and is 17.

LOL,I hate that,my friends always do that.You scramble the cube with one move and they need to turn that side like 10 times before they figure it out.I mean really? -.-

Once I explained to my friend that when you flip or swap some edges or corners the cube can become unsolvable.So he took my cube and swapped and flipped like 10 edges and corners.He said: NOW solve it. Then when I was solving it I only had to swap two edges at the end.LOL,he was like WHAT!!!!!

 

[MattMasterMind]

I have a friend who can solve his cube in 1 minute, isn't that fast?

 

[Goosly]

If you didn't teach him, that's rather fast. Two of my friends can solve it under 1 minute now

Solving my statistics teachers 5x5 at lunch today. Someone in his math(s) club that I interrupted said to me "can you do the 50x50 and the 27x27times27x27?"
