Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

When I solve a cube with ZZ and I get a OLL skip...

Guy 1: WOW! You have 2 sides!!!!!!
Guy 2: Well, different people mess it up in different ways. If i messed it up you would never solve it.
Me: Thats true, but I know how to solve all 43 quintillion possible ways of messing it up so...
Guy 2: *blubber blubber blubber* You're cheating, you memorised how I messed it up

from memory pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133936072602491412737245870066063155881748815209209628292540917153643678925903600113305305488204665213841469519415116094330572703657595919530921861173819326117 and i think it's an 8? *check pi day website* dang it's a 9

I'm guessing that 400-500 digits... How many is it since I CBA to look it up?

There's a limit of 50 characters per word, and it's about 9 'words', so ~450 digits. There are 9 missing from the last line and two from the first (because 3. is included), so 450-(9+2) = 450-11 = 439 digits after the decimal point (440 including the 9 on the end)

Wow! I have only memorized 3.14159265358979323846.
 
*is showing someone a 3x3 solve and scrambles the cube himself*
"Nah, you gotta let me scramble it.. You're just gonna remember all the moves."
.____.

Kinda along the lines with what QPowerPrime was saying..
 
Guys after reading all of this I am lmao.
Now here's what my friends said...
"are you the national record holder"
"OMG Cheater"
"You will never solve it when I jumble it"
"You are tooooo slow"(After lucky sub 10 solve)
 
I was playing with a sticker-less Moyu Weilong and a guy comes up to me and says,
"Oh, i used to have one of those, but I couldn't solve it because it had the wrong colour scheme."
Fair enough, until I find out that it was a DIY version.

Some people
:fp

Its actually fairly easy, you just memorise one or two a day, I have usually done 4 or 5 a day. Can you memorise one more tomorrow? Can you memorise another one the day after that? If so, then you will memorise a lot of digits of pi.

There's this kid at my school who's a lot older then I am, whenever he sees me solving a cube he says: "I can solve one in under a minute I'm faster then you." Then he just looks at me whilst looking. If he can solve one or not I have no clue. And, for the record: I average 25.

Or you can learn mnemonic methods and memorize 50 digits per day.

"You use cheats!" and "you're so fast" (whats funny is it takes me a minute) are the most common for 3x3.
for 2x2 "Did you break your rubiks cube?" and "that's easy!"
 
What really annoys me is when people in my class, knowing I have cubes in my bag, decide to steal them from behind my back and mess around and trying to recover them is like trying to prise food off a starving child. As a result I lost a center cap for my white Zhanchi and had to get one from my old black version.

When people who hear me talking to the other cuber in my class and after overhearing conversations we have come over and starts saying random crap like 'oh, you just need to PLL it when I am on F2L-2 or 'do a quick PLL' when they have no idea what they are saying.

To be honest, a lot of the criticism we receive by our peers or the wholly inaccurate statements they make is prompted by jealousy. For example, a boy in my form has a standing line of variations of 'how sad' and he is part of a group of friends who are obsessed with Skyrim and rabbit on in a way similar to how I might talk about cubing. I, being a morally integral person, have no issue with that, but sometimes to experiment, I condone Skyrim, using similar lines as he uses against me, he completely loses it and starts going: 'No, but it's the official best game of the year...'. Only today did him and his Skyrim bum-chums (a group of about 5) locked my in the store cupboard in lunch and they refused to let me out. But hey, I had my 4x4 and could break in the mod despite having no light apart from a slit under the door.

I swear people lose Zhanchis in public more than any other speedcube...

I'm actually quite shocked by how many times I have read on this forum stories about cubers being bullied by others or having their cubes taken away from them by disrespectful schoolmates who destroy the cubes purposely. I mean, kids were mean to me when I was in elementary school too, but it sounds like this is happening to people in high school. You'd think kids would have grown up a bit by then. So glad I live in the adult world...
