Why do you go to the WCA nonsense why don't you go to the REAL Red Bull Rubix championships.

Yeah.. red bull is more famous, therefore you should go there.

Most people in my class uses Guanglongs, and I brought an MF3RS to school.
----------------------
One of my non-cubing friend: Why did you took *another of my non cubing friend*'s cube?
Me: It's not a guanglong. It's an MF3RS. It has a logo on it.
Non-cubing friend: I think you sticked the logo on it.
----------------------------
Someone: Give the cube to me!
Me: What!
Someone: The cube is my friend's, and he says he can always pass it to me.
Me: This is an MF3RS...

Valk is better because it's more expensive.

Hey, you're cheating! You're turning it with your fingers!!

Cubes are so noisy. Why don't you do virtural cube apр?

Pyraminx, Skewb. He thinks those are weird???
‘Rubik puzzles’
What is even more infuriating is ‘PENTAGON CUBE’

‘Superior cube’ is actually a 4x4. ‘More than one way to solve it’ also applies to 3x3.

What about this: http://walyou.com/blog/2009/12/01/pentagon-rubiks-cube/

Non cubers- There are methods? Don't you just turn every side so that each side only have one color?

 

[tnk351]

Why glue only a single part when you can buy another cube.

 

[ZaTank]

At least take the puzzle apart...

Going to comps is a waste of time and money.

'2x2 is so easy'
One of my classmates.
*solves a layer and gets lucky and gets a bar on U face*
'Well I was close, two corners left!'

 

[tnk351]

*stickerless cube*
Is that a special made cube? Is it more difficult?

Hey everyone.
I was wondering why you all think cubing in front of people who don't know how to cube. They are always so amazed and I can't even solve it that fast(sub 1 minute-beginners method) and I am like What? What did i do different? :confused: :?

On to the funny non cuber stories...
I had just bought a gan air. I was at my old primary school picking up my siblings and solved my new cube. A kid about 7 years old grabbed my cube and tried to do it...
He couldn't and so....
He chucked my cube halfway across the hard playground floor.

Talk about throwing money down the drain

What are your funny (or painful) non cuber encounters?

One time I was at the grocery store and one of the employees asked what I had been doing over vacation and I told her that I went to a Cubing competition (which she had no idea what that was) so I explained what solving the Rubiks Cube is and how it takes practice. In return she said "oh, so thats where you've been.......turning squares."

Isn't that hilarious? Lol!!!

"oh, so thats where you've been.......turning squares."

I really want this to be the first sentence aliens hear from us...
Totally best post of the whole SpeedSolving community, the only competitor to this post is the "No cubes were harmed during the van accident" one.

Me: Can I buy a gan 249
Parent: Don't you already have a 2x2?

I've gotten "Still trying to solve it?" When I'm learning a new method and I've already solved it several times since they first noticed me solving it, and the classic "You're cheating" when I am learning a new method and referencing algs.
