Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Ok, everyone at my college thinks this kid is so weird and when he tries to talk, all he does is mumble

Kid: "You can solve a rubik's cube?!"
Me: "Yea, my best time is 13 seconds" (it was 13 at the time)
Kid: "NA UH MAN HEHAHE, what's the world record??"
Me: "7 seconds"
Kid: "DUDE YOU SHOULD GO FOR THE WORLD RECORD, TRY AND GET IT MAN!!!"
Me: :fp

Well it's kind of a :fp, I wasn't going to put a :fp, but I decided to put a :fp

It's kind of obvious that I'm doing the best I can. I edited what he said at the end. It was about half a year ago, so I'm probably not right on, but the way he said it intended like why aren't you getting the world record, get it now.

Non-cuber: How do you do that?
I: well do you want to learn"
Person: Yes Please
I: Well are you determined?
Person: Yes oh yes (or) Shut up and just teach me
I: 5 seconds later confudse them with the quadratic formula
But If I do decide they are determined I teach them and oddly enoph they get it

I've only ever taught one person...he can only do it in 1:46 (his record)
 
Today at the bus:

Guy: I have one and thought that when you scramble that thing you won't be able to put it back together again.
Me: If you can scramble it, you can solve it...
Guy: ORLY?
Me: :fp
 
I was telling a friend about my cubing and the principle of using algorithms to solve it once and the next day they said: "So, how are those logarithms going?" LOL!
 
"wow as if the original Rubik's cube wasn't hard enough" (it was a megaminx and i was surprised he made the connection)

"HOLY F&*@! you solved it" i was at the post office and every one lookes at him :)
 
This is more of cube win but in Spanish class I misunderstood an assignment and only did half.
teacher:Where's the rest?
me:I wrote ten sentences in english and spanish like you said
teacher:I said I was grading 10
me:oh...
teacher: Okay I have a deal for you then(turns to the class)What should I make him do so I can take the grade?Sing ,dance ,stare someone in the eye with a straight face(he does this a lot)
student:make him solve the cube!!!
teacher: Okay bring me your cube
*I hand him my cube which wasn't stickered at the moment and everyone laughs the teacher pretends he knew what i was doing and went and got me the french teacher's cube*
teacher: Okay i'll give you one minute...wait thats not enough time so two minutes.
me:okay
*i solve it the the time is just below my average
teacher:Okay you get an 88.
me: :D
 
Guy in my math class: Hey, can I see your cube?
Me: sure
aforementioned person: what's the first step?
Me: Get a cross on one of the faces and make the edges line up (he already knows a bit about the cube because I talk about it a lot)
person: Okay (turns the cube randomly and haphazardly). Got it! (shows me the cube and the edges aren't matched up with the centers)
Me: No, that's wrong. You have to line up the edges like this. (shows him another cube)
person: But that's impossible!

And this one was at my little brothers birthday party, I brought a 2x2x2 with me because I thought I'd be bored. So I was playing around with it.

Kid: That cube is really simple. Normal ones are bigger.
Me: Okay... (finishes XLL)
Kid: Whoa you're good...(pause) but that cube is still really simple
Me: Do you want to try? (it wasn't supposed to be mocking)
Kid: Yeah okay, you should unsolve (urgh, I hate when people say "unsolve" instead of scramble) it for me though.
Me: (does ~10 scramble moves) Here you go.
Kid: Okay I'm gonna be done within the next minute.
Me: Okay.
Kid: Can you give me a pointer?
Me: Try to get one layer solved first.
Kid: Okay... (Plays with it for about 5 minutes)
Me: Are you done yet?
Kid: Never mind this cube is the hardest one I've ever played with.
Me: You've played with other ones before?
Kid: Yeah I once got 5 sides on a normal sized one.
Me: *sigh*

Yup...I actually don't know any cubers so I'm all by my lonesome.
 
I lent my 3x3x3 to a random kid at school, and two minutes later he threw it on the ground in anger, breaking it apart, and shattering the internal structure. talk about anger issues...
 
Let's just say I can't count the number of times I've had to say "it's not a toy it's a puzzle."
