Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[lerenard]

My problem with higher level cubes is that people lose interest after a minute or so, and so even if you have a fast time they still get bored. Also, I already knew that Einstein quote, I made a poem out of it once.

My favorite comment on a tutorial was on theSergsB's 4x4 corner parity video. Technically this is by a cuber, but it i still hilarious.

"No matter what I do I can't fix those two corners, I do the algorithm and it only flips the two edges."

I think he meant PLL parity, in some cases it looks like 2 corners are swapped and two edges are swapped so he probably assumes that's what he actually doing

I was solving in study hall and a guy behind me says: "I just peel the stickers off."

I hand him the mirror cube I was solving and said: "Good luck"

LOL!!! That's just too funny!

I don't know why but now everyone seems to be saying "can you fix it?" Instead of "can you solve it?"

And whenever the cube pops they're amazed that it can go back together. Ya, real magic there.

people say to me: "Have you ACTUALLY dissembled that and put it back together?"

DArn non cubers twist all your corners

 

[JasonDL13]

So I was in English class (In English class everyone talks so it's impossible to do your work, I'll usually just talk and take it for homework)

and I was solving my 3x3 and 2x2, and there's this kid that basically everyone doesn't like (included me) let's call him stupid.

So stupid got angry because apparently he would hear the cubes, even though the entire class is talking and he's being louder then the cubes. So he get's mad once.

Then he's about to get mad again and I'm say out loud "stupid is about to have a temper tantrum." And he says something along the lines of "Those things are so easy I can do one without looking."

And it's not like he thought they were easy. He played with a cube a year ago, so he was just trying to put me down.

I feel that cubers run into two types of people: 1) The people that are nice. These people will think your cool or whatever, they might want to learn. But they don't get jealous. 2) The stupid people. These people get jealous, act like it's easy. Say you're cheating, WHATEVER THEY DO.

DArn non cubers twist all your corners

that has happened with my since I got an Aolong V1 and had to explain why I twisted a corner back.

 

[Eduard Khil]

Ever since Ive corner twisted my cube and twisted it back they take my cube and twist the corners.
and they make corner twist jokes, "I can't solve this! (One corner twist)"

 

[Eduard Khil]

I dont particularly like that when they twist my Huanying. The corner seems so fragile.

 

[EternalE]

especially when they tell you not to look while they're scrambling, and after I figure out that they twisted a corner, thus needing to twist it back, they say "Cheater" or "Noob"

I explain it like this: "if I twist a corner one way with an alg, it will twist another one the other way, just like moving an edge to one spot forces another one to fill its place. That's why it's unsolvable if only one corner needs to be twisted."
Except use simple words the non-cubers can understand and maybe give more analogies.

"You turn the cube so fast." I'm a beginner, just now learning 4LLL, and I take 2 to 3 minutes to solve, but they still say this...

You must have good 'tps'


Hahaha

Conversation with my dad:
Me: I found a 30 move solution to this scramble!
Dad: Cool, but it only works for that scramble?
Well, yeah...
- I guess that makes sense, each scramble's probably a little different, huh? So are you gonna memorize those 30 moves and then if that scramble comes up you'll already know a fast way to solve it?
Well, I could, but that scramble will only come up once every 43 quintillion times....
- So why did you go to the trouble of finding that that solution?
*I explain that FMC is an event*
- oh

"I'll mix that up so much you'll never solve it!"
(When I have my 2x2) "Can you solve that 4-sided Rubik's cube?" (wtf)
(When I have my Gigaminx) "Is that a 10x10?"

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

Almost everyone says to me "I accidentally solved it once." I used to tell them the odds of that happening but now just smile and nod.

If you can solve a pyraminx you could just show them one and say yes to the first question.
