Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

1. "Oh, I'm faster than you, I can do it less than 4 second."

2. "You don't need knowledge to solve the cube, you can JUST PEEL OFF THE STICKERS AND PLACE THEM BACK."

3. "Because you knew all the turn to the solution."

4." Let me see that." *After few minute of looking at the cube* "Say goodbye to your cube cheater" *He throw the cube downward and destroyed my cube*

My so called best mate through my cube across the pub, hit a barmaid. We both got barred, and i've never seen the best cube i've had ever again.
 
You cheated! I bet you can't solve it if I mix it up.

He's not even looking at it!

*After I scramble the cube myself and solve it* He memorized what he did and just reversed it.

Can you solve that 4 cube? *Wtf is a 4 cube?* It's a 2x2...

Can you solve that every time?
Yes
Then you must memorize all the patterns! (who memorizes 43 quintillion patterns?)
 
They think that it has 54 stickers and each of them moves including the centers

A cube does have 54 stickers, and each sticker moves including the centers.

:fp (too short)

Logan, not to pick on you personally, but your last post prompts this. Please describe to me why beingforitself's statement is false. I challenge you to prove him wrong.

Chris

What I think he meant was that pieces move, with stickers on them, you cannot move a single sticker like some people think.

Which is why it is so important to teach beginners that you are turning PIECES and not stickers.

But then again, I have no idea what he was talking about, maybe he just wanted to use the emoticon.
 
At a cube meet yesterday we overheard a man saying to his kid that it is very easy to solve one. Its just a code or a trick. He also stated that he solved it once before.

Then he asked us what the trick was haha...
 
"I tried to do that thing once, but I got just one sticker messed up and I couldn't fix it."

Oh, and this is really off-topic, but I'd like some advice:

At my swim team there's a kid who can solve a 3x3 and 4x4. He says he learned all by himself, and when I watch him, he's just doing Dan Brown method. When he shows me 4x4, which I believed at first.

So I setup OLL parity for him, and he goes "Oh, the orientation parity" and he solves it using the same algorithm I use.a And he continues to claim that he figured it out on his own. What do I do?
 
"once you know the matrix of the cube, you should be able to generate all the solutions for the cube...making solving easy. Personally I have yet to discover this matrix and all the mathematics involved."

my response - "wow you make me feel smart"

lawl. wow so true though.

yeah I've had people say "dude, you suck I can do that in like ten seconds!" and then I hand them the cube and they can't even do a finger trick.

I hate when people boast about being able to do it, and then not being able to. Basically, If you talk smack, you'd better be able to back it up.
