Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[Mike Hughey]

"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)."

it wasnt around in the 70's, so someone isnt telling the truth...

Yes it was, 1974 I believe was when it was invented.

Yes, correct, but it was not mass produced until 1980.

so how is it that he obtained one?

Yeah, I agree with you. I'm in utter disbelief. Don't forget the eleventh commandment. "Thou shalt not forget dates."

His uncle's name is Ernő Rubik.

No....
Ernő figured out how to solve since he already knew the basic mechanics and the difference between a solvable and unsolvable case....
Took him about 5 hours, and that was with no guides.

I read 3 weeks.

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

I heard a few months in his interview. o_O

 

[Gollum999]

Yeah I heard it took him 3 months. :/

 

[Ashmnafa]

He was interviewed and he said a few months.

I read 2 months.

 

[Muesli]

I read it took him 2 months, after giving a sample to a university to solve.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Does it matter how long it took him to solve it?
I was playing with my magic that had silicone stains on it and someone said "Lol did you ejaculated it?"
"Wtf? No, silicone stains..."

You lubricated your magic?

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Yeah. I was awake at midnight, so I was bored.It actually moves with less of that clinky sound.

 

[MichaelP.]

I have TONS of material now because i have two girls that play with my cubes trying to get ONE SIDE not a LAYER
"Can i have the 4 one?"
"oh you mean the 2x2?"
"It's called a 2x2???"

lololololol

 

[Kevster270]

i get the how do you do that?? question and i always say either you tuen the sides or magic

i was at toys r us once and asked if they had rubiks 3x3 and the guy pulled out a revolution AND a 360 and asked "Which one??" :fp

That just creeps me out,

 

[TioMario]

I spoke to a guy today who said he can solve the cube in less than 30 seconds by randomly turning it. I told him about the number of combinations and all that and he said... "Maybe I'm an autist" :fp

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Some guy tried to knock it out my hands while I was walking and my reflex was..well, a literal kick to the balls.

 

[sub_zero1983]

This is between me and my bro involving my 2x2.

Bro: Is this one easier?
Me: yea
5 minutes later
Bro: I give up. I got one side though.

Why is that a "darndest" thing. He didn't say anything stupid.
