Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[WombatWarrior17]

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

I've gotten that too many times...

Non-cuber 1: hey can i see that?
Me: Ok
Non-cuber 1: watch i can solve this *scrambles with one move * Oh i solved it
Non-cuber 2: hey can i see that?
Non-cuber 1: Ok
Non-cuber 2: watch i can solve this *scrambles with one move * Oh i solved it

My friend is a sub-20 cuber but I now consider him a non-cuber because he did not know the basic-est concepts of roux and could not spell it either. He also said that it is slower. ...He never found his cubes again...

My friend knows roux but he hates it and says it is slower.............................

“I solved it once, years ago when I was young”.

I always greet this with suspicion. They are talking of over 40 years ago and now that I know just how hard it is to solve I am extremely skeptical that they solved it all that time ago.

It is entirely possible of course, but I believe they are remembering with nostalgia ‍

One of these people is my Dad, the other is my sister-in-law

I just smile and nod.

They then attempt to solve it remember their ‘technique’. It last less than a minute

I spend a lot of my time sat in cafes solving, I get a buzz out of people watching me solve it. No-one has approach me yet though.

*me walking with my 2x2*
Kid: hahaha that's so easy anyone can do that

Give the 2x2 to him and see his reaction.

Give the 2x2 to him and see his reaction.

I did haha
he gave up within 30seconds

• "Hey, let me randomise that"
• They literally say randomise

I had always used my Rubik's when I started and when I got my GAN Air the kids at school asked me: That one has circles in the middle. Is it harder than the other one?
Hahaha.

 

[1001010101001]

'Is stickerless harder because you have to line up the inside colors?'

Hahaha.

Ohhh that gives me PTSD of me explaining every way a Valk is better than a Rubik's brand before the inevitable "Yeah but how is there like... A difference?"

"Whoa, that guy just solved it in 3 seconds!"
"Ha, NERD."
"Do you do anything useful other than cubing?" (someone said that to me today. ;( It hurt my feelings AND THATS NOT ALL I DO)

Noncuber: "How do you do that?"
Me: "How do you do what?" (solves cube)
Non: "THAT"
Me: "Like the finger trick or the cube?"
Non: *tries to explain something that only geniuses of high intellect and knowledge can fully understand*

Non: "Got the 4x4?"
Me: Yep
Non: "Got the 5x5?"
Me: Yep
Non: "Got the tryengl roobrick?
Me: Speak English Please.

*Explaining algorithms to non cubers*

x 1 = 79*263 + 71 (mod 100) = 20848 (mod 100) = 48,

x 1 = 48*263 + 71 (mod 100) = 12695 (mod 100) = 95,

x 1 = 95*263 + 71 (mod 100) = 25056 (mod 100) = 56,

x 1 = 56*263 + 71 (mod 100) = 14799 (mod 100) = 99,

how fast can you put it back together

 

[40yearstosolve]

how fast can you put it back together

Haha brilliant :-D

 

[Ernest Fowler]

Haha brilliant :-D

It took me 40 years bro

 

[40yearstosolve]

“Can you solve it?”.

This is something I am asked a lot. I always wish I had something witty to say but just explain I am trying for sub 2 minutes.

Maybe I should make like I’ve never solved it, then solve it and go wild with excitement

 

[40yearstosolve]

Haha and that’s a great idea for a thread. Mine would be Ernő Rubik obviously, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"You must have a lot of time on your hands."
"Whoa that one's got a lot of colors" (referring to any big cube)
"Where's your one with 4 sides?" (referring to a 2x2x2)
"Have you ever finished that?" (watching me solve repeatedly)
"Whoa you don't even have to look at it!" (watching me scramble)
"That one's missing a layer." (referring to a 2x3x3)
"You're probably just remembering the moves."

All very funny heh nice one

I get noticed when scrambling and then I must disappoint when I slow right down to solve :-/

Non: WHOA HOW FAST ARE YOU OMG THAT'S INSANE
*Hits 8TPS*
Non: *doesn't care*
