Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[Kotra25]

It is actually possible to solve it by acsident but the chances of that happening is so small so you shouldn't believe him, if he had actually done that though you can't expect him to do it again.

I get this every now and again:

"Have you figured it out yet?"

"Yeah. Three times since you've been standing there."

Oh my god that one is common. I hadn't even considered it because I hear it too much.

When I was cubing in class (I'm an idiot), my english teacher once told me to put away my "block"

 

[Mastermind2368]

I once let a non cuber play with my dayan 2x2. I watched her struggling and I had to go to the restroom. When I came back, she said she solved all but one piece

 

[Mastermind2368]

"I bet a colorblind person can't solve one." "Say that to Mats Valk & Chris Olson.

forgot to include me .

 

[vm70]

forgot to include me .

There are probably lots of other colorblind cubers out there too that I didn't mention, but Mats & Chris are the only "famous" ones that I know of.

 

[Majorgamer21]

WTF! How did you do that?

(when i try to explain they walk away)

A kid on the bus said, "Is that a 12x11?"

(Referencing my Megaminx)

 

[Majorgamer21]

My co-worker sees my scramble megaminx. "Jesus, it's like a stained glass window!"

Me Everyday LOL

You should get a Ninja Ghost Cube and bring it in.
They look quite a bit more like stained glass.

 

[Majorgamer21]

just yesterday, a girl asked me if i had ever gotten a match on my block.

(i was solving my 5x5.)

 

[yogurtcup]

Whoa, I heard only like, geniuses can figure that out.

There must so much math to learn!

My friend can do that in like, 2 seconds!

Can you solve my RUBIK'S cube? (I'm not even kidding they emphasize the Rubik's)

 

[EntireTV]

I was in Trader Joes cubing, and some guy just walks by and says, "Oh the classic Rubik's Cube..."

The way he said it was weird

 

[MentosCubing]

Can you solve that 4 cube? *Wtf is a 4 cube?*

The Four Cube is another name for the DaYan Dino Skewb. Although it is usually called the Dino Skewb, I have seen stores call it a Four Cube.

 

[MentosCubing]

"I saw the 16x16 one once."

 

[MentosCubing]

"You traded for that for anothere cube? That's dumb. It's used, so it's not as good as it was out of the box!"
But they broke it in, so now it is actually better than it was out of the box.
"But it's not as valuable as it was brand new! Did it come with those stickers? They look so DAMAGED!"
So? I can resticker it if I want to! That's most likely what they did because this is a weird color scheme.

Its great that you want to answer peoples questons, but please note that that post was from 2009. Also that TemurAmir hasn't been on this forum since 2012.
When replying to people, especially on a thread with hundreds of pages, it is always a good idea to check when the post was made.
In general, don't reply to things made over two years ago. The person that you are replying to probably won't see your message, and it brings threads to the top of a forum even though the content is heavily outdated.
In this case, this thread is active, so this isn't thread-necro, but if that had been your only response, it certainly would be.

You are new, so it's perfectly fine if you didn't realize this. However, if you haven't already, read the forum rules, as you can get infraction points/ban time for breaking them.

Keeping this on topic,
After a play that my younger brother co-starred in, I was haging around and doing OH sexy mindlessly.
An actor came over and asked how I did it. I scrambled and solved, the actor was amazed. He asked how I did it so well, and that he had tried really hard to solve it.
I was in acquaintance with the actor and replied teasingly that he was a very good actor and that I didn't understand how he did it.

"Why do you have so many of them? How much money have you spent on them?"
My collection consists of about 20 puzzles and I can't practice every WCA event. I don't own a clock, 7x7, or squan. (I used to have a squan but now I hate squan so I sold it to a guy at a competition.) Also, I have no idea how much money I spend on puzzles because I try to be conservative of money and I don't really keep track.

(When my 6x6 is about to pop) Aaaaaargh... oh no... (frantically putting pieces back into the correct places)
"Oh yay! I think I scrambled it up too well for you!"

Walking in public with my ShengShou kilominx:
"Is that, like, an Octo-Cube or something?"

In school with my kilominx:
(THIS GUY HAS SEEN A MEGAMINX BEFORE) "Whoa! That looks so complex! How do you do that?"
It's a simpler version of a megaminx.
"...oh."

"Why do you waste your time on that?"
I don't reply because the guy walked by and said that on his way to get something, but I'm thinking along the lines of "says the extremely violent and inappropriate video game addict who has been suspended from school multiple times." Well, really not all of that came to mind, but I was thinking "says you," knowing the guy who said it.

 

[Sonicastle]

Last week I showed my Megaminx to some schoolmates.
After I explained them how to turn it, they replied:
"Does that mean the centers are fixes?"
"Yes."
"Oh, then it's boring."

 

[MentosCubing]

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."
