Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Oof was it a wca comp?

No.

A WCA delegate would never let this happen at an official competition xD waaaaay too many regulations being broken here.

*sees me get to pll stage*
ah look he screwed up
*does Z perm in 0.81*
bruh

some adults do this as well, and kids think i broke a world record

Some kid came up to me while I was cubing and he was like " yOU Can cuBE!!!????? I cAN SOlve a 4 CUBe." So I gave him one and let him play with it for a while. Then he gave it back to me and said "YOur cheATing!!!"

 

[PetrusQuber]

Non-cuber "Can I see that?"Turns it for a bit. Me "By the way, don't mess up that cube, its one of my good magnetic ones." Non-cuber "You mean that there are non-magnetic ones???!!! How the heck do the little cubes stick together without the magnets?" Me "..."

The 4-cube! Everyone says that they can solve it... cut they can't.

Actually, one of my friends worked out how to solve the 'triangle cube' within a few days with only a few prompts from me. It is pretty easy though.


When you take your cube apart to lube it: you broke it!

 

[GAN 356 X]

Honestly, some of the cube advertisements are pretty bad... Take '3 layer cube' as an example.

I remember a time when quite a lot of those comments were said by me, while I was still unknowing in how to solve a cube, and content to watch my brother solve it, and going ‘WOW’. Insert nostalgia comment here.

My friend asked me "What if someone gets a rigged cube at a competition?" As you might imagine I was thinking to myself, "what does that even mean?" So she clarified saying what if someone got a cube with 10 stickers of one color and first of all you bring your own puzzles to competitions, second of all I don't think anyone in the observable universe will be sitting at a scrambling table and thinking "hmm, what if I were to put some different stickers on this cube"

Isn't the world record, like, four minutes?

also,

Isn't the world record, like, three seconds?

well now...

 

[Matt11111]

Me: *memorizing a cube to solve blind*
Some fella at school: Are you ever gonna be able to solve it without memorizing it first?
Me: *bluescreening internally*

 

[BradyCubes08]

"hey can you solve that?"
"yes"
"my uncles grandpas friend can do it one second how fast can you do it"
"like 9 seconds"
"slowpoke"

Once, this guy told me he did a 3x3 in thirty seconds. But, actually what he did was he did U R a bunch of times and undid it. Hey, you can't blame him. It's still technically solving the 3x3, but not a legitimate solve.

U R?
I once did that for 5 minutes and it didn't go back to a solved state.

anyway, them non-cubers always say that the pyriminx is way harder than the 3x3.

You must have made a mistake somewhere. After I think 63 repeats, it should go back to the solved state.

That would make sense... I was tired and moving at snail speed.

only if the bottom left 2x2x3 block is solved

 

[brododragon]

“You have to make t’s on all sides”

 

[Deleted member 36445]

comparing your times with the world record or your best single.

"wow that was so slow"

 

[PetrusQuber]

’So, on big cubes, is it like, the same algorithm to solve the cube as on the normal one?’
1. We don’t use a single algorithm to solve the cube
2. One same algorithm won’t solve all 43 quintillion possibilities
3. Do you really have to ask that question?
