Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[V-te]

People like that are really stupid.
Today, I brung my new Magic to school
Someone said, "I can solve that in like .99 seconds"
So I handed it to him and HE DID SOLVE IT!

Brought* Lol.

"I bet you you can't solve it in 2 seconds"

"No I can't, no one can"

"Lol, haha!!"

:fp

"Hey, can yous puts that back together?"
"It is already put back together, isn't it?" (I was referring to it being broken)

"What's the trick?"

""A 2x2 will be easy!"

 

[dunpeal2064]

brought my 2x2 to a family reunion, and a stupid uncle of mine says:

SU: "wow, you must have to be retarded not to be able to figure that out"
Me: "hmm.... lets find out" *hands him 2x2*
SU: *turns it like 3 times and gives it back* this stuff is stupid anyway"
Me: "Well at least now you have your answer" =)

I hate this uncle... he says I waste my time cubing (he doesnt use the term "cubing" of course) and then sits on hiss ars and watches nascar all day.

I was talking to one of my friends, here's how the conversation went:

Friend: I saw a 75x75 on youtube the other day.
Me: IMPOSSIBLE!
F: Nuh uh, I saw it!
Me: >*Explains why this is impossible*<...so it would fall apart when you turned it.
F: I never said you could turn it! He made it out of paper & coloured the pieces!
Me: >*Facepalm*<

Also, I was standing outside having a smoke and practising OH, and all these kids walked by and saw. They said some intersting things like:

"Woah, can I have your autograph"
"If you can solve that again I'll jump off the roof"
"are you dominican?" (I responded to this with "you know it, dominican republic representin)
"you are my favorite black person" (this threw me off. lol)

they said a lot of other confusing things, but it was entertaining. All these kids do is stand outside and "jerk" (this stupid dance that is really popular now) so hopefully I have inspired them to do something better =) or at least better in my opinion.

I hope I didn't offend anyone who participates in this "jerking"

 

[xXzaKerXx]

there's one :
FRIEND:i can solve that in 2 seconds
ME:really? *hands him the cube, in its solved state* need me to scramble it?
FRIEND:nah *did a U U'* there!
ME:*speechless*

here's another one (same friend):

i was going through some algos in class, and he said
FRIEND:what's that?
ME: some formulas for cube(they don't understand the term "algorithm"
FRIEND:how do you pronounce U F R??
ME:*speechless again*

I started practicing Magic and i notice I'm more popular now and I don't get the "NERD/NO LIFE/NO FRIENDS" COMMENTS anymore...

It seems like everytime I somehow get the slightest chance to try BLD in school, someone taps me on the shoulder, says "why are you staring at that cube?", and won't shut up from there

"Oh, I've heard of that (my uncle, who figured it out partially by himself back in the 70's). So don't they like use stickers with different texture to do it (blindfolded)?"
"No, I just memorize the moves in order to solve it."
(Continues with moar explaining)

Scrambling the cube in the hallway, not even looking at it.
"Dang, you're fast at that thing."

"Your addicted to that thing."
"Your addicted to video games.The only difference is you don't go blind from a cube (excluding the gamecube)."

"No, I just memorize the moves in order to solve it."

Your doing it the hard way.

 

[PEZenfuego]

"No, I just memorize the moves in order to solve it."

Yeah take your uncle's advice and buy textured stickers lol.

I explain it to people as memorizing every move I need to make. Even though it isn't true, it saves a lot of time and confusion.

 

[littlejkim]

"Are you doing that WITHOUT looking?" (Actually scrambling the puzzle)
"Your just crazy"
"Asians...." (I'm a asian)

What I meant was that I use the M2 Pochmann method (I'm gonna learn to 3-cycle). And I meant I memo where to place the pieces. Also, once I was telling my brother how I do it, and I said that I just memorize certain places on the cube by tapping, so it is usually around 20-25 places. I say "I just memorize this place, this place, this place, and about half-way through I wonder myself how people can do it :confused:

I got this once:
"HEY DUDE LEMME SEE UR CUBE!" (It was an edison)
I threw it to him (on a bus), saying "Break it and I break your face."
So I'm sitting there for a bit, then I ask for it back.
"DEWD, I HAVE NO CLUE WAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT!"
"^$#@ing seriously?" (At this point everyone on the bus is facepalming)
So I walk across the school bus and take his backpack and threw it to the middle of the bus. "WHAT THE HELL DUDE?! MY BACKPACK!" As he scrambles to get it, he pushes me over a seat (I'm a 7th grader). So, I break his glasses and his friend shakily gives me my cube as broken-glasses kid glares at me.

Umm. Glasses cost a hell of a lot more than a cube. I think you have anger problems.

They were cheap fake glasses ^^

There's probably a gaming forum somewhere with a thread titled "non-gamers say the darndest things" with that very quote on it.
