Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[anythingtwisty]

To all that say there is no One algorithm to solve any cube, there is... it would just have to be 43,000,000,000,000,000 (fourty-three-quintillion) moves long.

Proof?

Are you sure that you can cover every state of the cube with a single algoritms of 43 quintillion moves?

PS. 43 quintillon = 43,000,000,000,000,000,000

Wait. Is quint 4 or 5. I thought it was 4. Would 4 be quartillion?

Quint is 4.....unless i m wrong and all those people having quintuplets can't count.

Your wrong, quint is 5, quad is 4.

A cuber learned from youtube, he calls U perms & A perms random names like "The Alen" & "The nitch"

Have you heard Lars Petrus's names for last layer algorithms?

I get various of "Why do you bring that, how does it contribute to life/why are you a nerd"
I reply "It's a god damn hobby. Shut up."

Here's one time:
Me"*scrambles 4x4x4 to a 2x2x2"
Most Retarded Kid in the Universe Beyond the Ultraverse: I can solve that!
Me:Here
Most Retarded Kid in the Universe Beyond the Ultraverse: *hands it back to me...scrambled* SOLVED.
Counselor : *walks in and tells him to be quiet*
Me: *solves and shows kid*
Most Retarded Kid in the Universe Beyond the Ultraverse: *weep+sob*

So during the Cube Meet in Burbank, we and another kid were speedsolving (he had a God Cube) and a pedestrian walks by and stops in front of us. Well, he turned sideways. Anyway, he stares.
It was the usual "That was fast" business.

Lol today at meetup, this guy comes along to our table. We suspect he may have stolen a stackmat, as he seemed fairly suspicious.

Anyway, he comes up, and starts talking, the conversation was really confusing

"how fast can you do that"
Paul: erm about 20 seconds
"how many moves does it take you"
Paul: i'll do a solve and see
"no thats not what i mean"
Paul:huh?
"i mean like how many moves can you memorise back and forward"
Paul: That's not how it works, we just solve the first 2 layers then use algorithms"
"no, like how many moves can you reverse and then memorise and solve"
Paul: Erm we dont do it like that
"but how many could you do"
Paul: err not sure, maybe 10?
"ok, but is that all you can do"
Paul: Erm yeah? We don't solve it like that
"ok how many moves does it take
Me: Erm, ok ill solve..... 58 moves
"Wow you memorised 58 moves"
Paul: No... we don't do it like that
" oh ok, how many moves does it take you"
Paul: about 60
Michael: Oh shut up

(convo continues to go around in circles)

Finally...

"Well, if you memorise lots of moves you will be a billionaire"
Paul: No, i don't think so
"Yes, you will be rich"
Me: lulz
"Ok then well you will be rich"
Paul: k
"ok bye"
*walks off*
Everyone: LOLWAT

*comes back*
"whoops, i took your drink bottle"

^OMG. XD

A guy at Melbourne Central comes over and starts talking to us. He picks up a Sq1 and starts talking about remembering where pieces are and that its a great talent. The points to and edge on sq1 and goes at the end of the puzzle it could be over there (points to a corner). He talked for ages about random stuff and then Michaels in the background laughing and saying shutup. Overall I think he was using all this as a distraction to steal my stackmat, which dissapeared after that.

 

[Faz]

Pappas - see my post lol

 

[pappas]

Pappas - see my post lol

Yeah I saw. I started typing mine before you'd done yours.

I was just typing my version. Here's just a bit,

Random guy: "With this great memorisation, you people could become billionaires.
~all failing to hide loling~
Random guy: Stop laughing, I'm serious.
Us: um...no...
Random guy: Fine waste your talents.

One bad thing was, he seemed really angry at us the whole time. Poor Paul, he was actually being tight to Paul. Another guy from the previous meetup when Matt was scrambling.
Guy: Oh I see. You scramble it with those codes and then see who can undo them the fastest.:fp:fp:fp

That first guy was so stupid/ignorant/angry, as soon as he walked away I said, if only someone filmed that. We could post it in the "Non-cubers say the darndest things thread."

When plaving with a V cube 6

Him : How many faces does that cube have?
Me : How many faces does a cube normally have?
Him : Have you ever solved it before?
Me : Yes
Him : How long did it take you?
Me : don't know, i only got it three days ago
Him : It took you three days?

Facepalm

Cubing in school
Him :"i'll muck it us so it is impossible"
they pop it an i retrive the pieces and put them back.
Him :"what a rubbish cube!"
When i solve it i get parity and take it apart.
Him :"You cheated"
Me : "No i fixed it"

 

[Ashmnafa]

My friend said to me he saw a 15x15 and that the guy had to use a wrench to turn it.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Now THAT'S epic.
I was solving my 4x4x4 while waiting in line for a shot and then some miro-sized girl looks and says "Dad look!!!!!"
Her dad looks and says "WOW"

Me and fundash were trying out each other's cubes and then some dude comes up and says "...WHOA..."
What do ya expect, we were doing finger tricks. Well, I was. I think fundash met with Mr. Lock Up on the Eastsheen? But his Taiyan cube was effing epic.

 

[Reex]

It annoys me...


Me: omg new record 51 seconds
Random: ahah only 50 seconds off the world record!

>_____>

 

[Muesli]

Me and my friend cubing.

Random guy: "Omg! You have like, matching cubes!!"

Me: "There's more than one you know..."

 

[ben1996123]

I heard someone talking about me at school, and I am almost certain that I heard this:

"Thats the kid who can do them oreobix cube things"

 

[PEZenfuego]

While memorizing for a blind solve.

HEY! What are you doing?

Me: I'm memorizing

I CAN DO THOSE WITHOUT EVEN MEMORIZING!

Me: No ****, it's easier that way.

You just peel the stickers off LMAOROFL.

Me: walks away.

my friend to to some kid's channel intreview..
he brought his 7x7 and 3x3..
*there was 2 interviewers**
the man takes the v7:do you see this? this got 15milion layers and it takes 17.5 years to solve this thing~
then my friend says:no not realy, its 12 mins for me...
man:what?? your the smartest kid i know(his only 12) YOUR CRAZY!

after awhile of stupied Questions then the 3x3 solve time comes, and the intreviewer goes like 5 meters away, says "dont look" and scrambels that..

while the inspection time, he takes the cube out of his hand , scrambled again , gives him the cube and says "GO"

no wonder he got 35(he does like 22 in reg solve)
