Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[pipkiksass]

I was with a friend one day. He knows what I average (about 30), and he wanted to know what the world record was. I told him that it was 4.73 and held by Feliks Zemdegs.
"No way."
I show him the video.
"Well, you know what? I think you're just as good; that was just a lucky solve."

I like your friend... now show him Faz's 6.88 Ao100!! [emoji6]

The other day a non-cuber at my school asked me if he could record me solving my 3x3 for snapchat. I said I wasn't fast enough to fit in a snapchat video but sure. He said just do the cool thing. I asked what he meant by that and he said, " The thing where you make it all yellow and then move it around without looking most of the time." Apparently, OLL and PLL are called the cool thing.

lol
from now on "CFOP" will be called the "CFcoolthing method"

Wouldn't it be CFCT? Or maybe that's Chris Tran's variation of CFOP

 

[Levurmion]

Whoa one minute! You're really fast!

-,- thanks(?) :/

"Solve it in 5 sec so I have time to film It for snapchat"...

 

[Moises Martinez]

"I can only solve one side"
And
"I can solve that in like 2 seconds"(does one move solve)
Also
"Can u solve it in four seconds?"
And
"I can solve it faster than you."

 

[ThatCuberKoko]

Whats the secret?
Do you just randomly turn that and it's solved?
I can do that in like, 2 seconds.
"Pops my cube while imitating my turning speed" I'M SO SORRY ILL GET YOU A NEW ONE OH NO.
I thought they were impossible!
Is that a world record or something?
"Solving pyra" Whoa is that a RUBIK'S TRIANGLE?

 

[ThatCuberKoko]

"How do you find it?"
"How do you crack it?"
"How do you fix it?"
"How do you re-do it?"
"How do you smack (yes, i know) it?"
"How do you get it back to all of the thingys done?"

lol most of these comply with a mirror cube

 

[Rubiks Gaming]

I once got 2 sides

or

I once got 5 sides and couldn't get the last one. (lmao)

How do you manage to get 5 sides but not get the last?

 

[vm70]

"Solving pyra" Whoa is that a RUBIK'S TRIANGLE?

I lectured people today about Rubik's cubes & the mathematics about them. Someone asked me how fast I did the "triangle one".
Do people not realize that the Pyraminx is not a triangle, but four triangles? Last time I checked, it's the Rubik's Cube, not the Rubik's Square.

How do you manage to get 5 sides but not get the last?

You can't, unless you add stickers from another puzzle (which is a dumb thing to do anyway).

 

[SolveThatCube]

Makes 3 turns then undoes them - "I SOLVED IT!!!"

 

[cuber314159]

Someone comes up to me says "can I try" I scramble it and let him have a go, a few seconds later " I can't do it" it's not like you'll break the world records order first time.

Oh but I do like commentating on my solves infront of non cubers and I do a simple F2L pair then an oll alg then I get an r perm ...?

 

[FakeMMAP]

"why do you need so many 3x3s?"
"because I'm a MBLDer"

 

[Dom]

"why do you need so many 3x3s?"

Me: "because I can't stop buying cubes....I have a problem."

 

[TheSilverBeluga]

"Why are you wasting your life on that?"
Come back to me on that one when you've started doing your homework.

"You spent $20 on that? That's such a rip-off."
*Comes to school two weeks later bragging about his new $700 watch*

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

"If I undo it, can you redo it?"

 

[autisticcuber]

one time i solved a 3x3 and this guy told me that it was unfair because i'm autistic and that i shouldn't be allowed to compete. i don't know what his reasoning was, i guess he thinks being autistic is some superhuman power or something? so i'm taking it as a compliment lol

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Non cubers playing with my cube
NC1: what's the first step in doing it
NC2: you have to, like, get the middles lined up

 

[Dr_Detonation]

"I tried to do that thing once, but I got just one sticker messed up and I couldn't fix it."

Oh, and this is really off-topic, but I'd like some advice:

At my swim team there's a kid who can solve a 3x3 and 4x4. He says he learned all by himself, and when I watch him, he's just doing Dan Brown method. When he shows me 4x4, which I believed at first.

So I setup OLL parity for him, and he goes "Oh, the orientation parity" and he solves it using the same algorithm I use.a And he continues to claim that he figured it out on his own. What do I do?

Well, he knows what parity is. He had a tutorial.
