Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

lol I had to get lube in syringes checked at the airport to make sure it's not flammable

 

[1001010101001]

Non - cuber(in the library) : Can you solve that?
me:Yes
Non-cuber takes it away and starts scrambling while I play Raze
Non-cuber: here you go
*does F2L*
Non-cuber:Aren't you supposed to solve one side at a time?
*solves cube*
Non-cuber: WTF can I mix it up again???

 

[Piotr Grochowski]

*not finished 5x5 reduction yet*
Non-cuber: Can I have the cube?
Me: Yes...
Non-cuber: *scrambles*
Non-cuber: Make a checkerboard pattern, then give it to me!

 

[cuber314159]

Not technically a non cube but he acts like a non Cuber...
Cuber: is that a 10x10?
Me: no, sadly I don't have a 10x10 can you get me one for Christmas?

I didn't get a 10x10 for Christmas yet...

 

[greentgoatgal]

My dad just asked if I used the same scramble every time.

[Spock loves cubing]

Non-cuber sees photo of Feliks Zemdegs.
Non-cuber: Isn't that the Feliks guy?
Me: Yes...
Non-cuber: Wait, what is the cube in his hand?!! Why isn't he using a Rubik's brand?!!
Me: Rubik's brands are not great. That's a "professional" cube...
Non-cuber: (sarcastically) Yeah...
*Laughs at me arrogantly and leaves.*
(Sigh)

 

[1001010101001]

And when you get a V-cube(remember they tried to take down 7x7 market) they say
"This is better than Rubiks brand!"

 

[teboecubes]

First time solving a cube in school

Finished OLL, doing PLL:
"Ohh, he almost had it, he messed it up!"

I got this today.
*cubing in lunch line*
*kid sees me*
"Wait slow down a bit"
*slows*
"oh ok"
*Me curious*
"why did you tell me to slow?"
"I thought you were pressing buttons that changed the color because I couldn't see you twist it."
"WTF???""

Hey, he had a theory, he tested it, it was falsified, and he abandoned it. More than I can say for a lot of the quotes from non-cubers in this thread.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

This happened at lunch today:

Me: *solving 3x3*
(A lot of people know about what my times are)
*Gets a 13*
Some guy from another table: Justin what was that?
Me: trash
Guy: *comes over*
I can solve it in one second if I do 2 moves
Me: *does T perm*
I can solve it in one second if I do 14 moves
Me: *starts timer, solves cube*

Two boys came to me asking me how many MPH I can turn it.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Two boys came to me asking me how many MPH I can turn it.

the formula for this is

where c is the conversion rate from mm/s to mi/h (about 0.002237),
s is the size of the cube in mm (standard varies from about 54 to 57, but usually 55.5 or 56)
t is the average turning speed, in qtps (half turns count 2 moves).

Or an approximate formula, since the part in parentheses is a constant:

Note that this would of course only be the average speed of the tips of the corners, measured relative to the core of the cube.

This seems to indicate that I turn my cube at just under 1 mph.

 

[1001010101001]

Well I turn at just under 0.6 mph.

OMG IT HAS SO MANY SHAPES!

12 sided IQ pentagon but it's a Gigaminx.

 

[teboecubes]

Someone who goes to my school actually thought R U R U R U... would eventually solve a 3x3.

It kind of does; if you do 105(R U) it will eventually solve the cube.

Spoiler

But you have to start with a solved cube

Yeah but he thought it would work from any scramble
