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...

same thing for me except the kid thought he would be "cool" and throw it on the ground. Also i'm learning full PLL on the bus and two people wanted to use my "cheat sheet.":fp
 
I was once solving my cube and a kid comes up to me

Kid: My uncle has the state record on that
Me: Really? (as far as i know there has never been an official competition in my state)
Kid: Yeah he can solve it in like 35 seconds.
Me: I can solve it faster.
Kid: oh...

Also whenever I pull out my megaminx

Person: Whoa is that like a 10 sided rubik's cube?
Me: Yeah kind of but it has 12 sides, it's called a dodecahedron?
Person: Can you solve it?

Why do they even ask this? I mean what do they think I carry it around and never scramble it to look smart?

PS: can't wait to see the reactions I get from bringing my teraminx to school.
 
I was doing a solve and everyone was counting. I was at the PLL, the H perm. Someone shouts out 'HAH U MESSED UP LOLOLOLOL'. Then i finish it in the next 2 sec and I say 'When did I say I messed up'. Then everyone goes OOOOOOOOHHHHH.

NEXT:
They take it away from me, do something real simple, like 3 turns, and 'solve it' and they purposly go slowly and say 'waitwaitwait, i got this, I GOT THIS!!!! YEA!!!' and they slam it down, and one time, it broke an edge piece. Good thing I had super glue for a project I had to do for architecture, or i wouldve been bored for 4 more periods of school.

Next:
Someone was mixing it up and an whole layer just poped out at once. EVERYONE was like AHHHH OMG. and proceded to stare at me. I was like 'what r u guys looking at?' and I get all of the pieces and put them back together. The guy mixing was relieved, but everyone else goes SO THATS HOW U DO IT!!! OMGWTFBBQROFLMAO1337!

My life story hahahahaha
 
Brung my Megaminx to school at some point
(Of course, they still call it a cube, except for the teachers who call it a dodecahedron, it's real shape name)
"How do you move that??"
"It has twelve sides. Each side is a pentagon. THAT can turn"
At that point, they can figure it out themselves. Not how to solve it, but how to turn it.
 
Me: *7.08 fail 2x2 solve*
Me: "Strange, just like the 3x3 WR."
Brother: "That's the 3x3 WR?"
Me: "Yup."
Brother: "So what happens if you get a time faster than that at your competition."
Me: "...then I'd get the WR..."
Brother: "Are you going to do that?"

...I know he's trying, but still...

Trying to...
...understand the concept of speeddsolving, but yet not understanding the work involved?

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."

My French teacher is crazy about this... She's constantly yelling "Pas jouer!" at me.

And then a little while later she says I'm "absolutely brilliant." I don't understand. :confused:
 
She's probably tired of you "wasting" class time when you solve in the middle of class (I'm guessing that's going on since she's telling you no playing/solving in this case). She tells you you are "absolutely brilliant" because people aren't used to seeing people solve the cube, especially under a minute, or sub30, sub20, etc (whichever you are).

Almost all the teachers who saw me solve were quite impressed, but all got equally as tired me spending their class time solving rather than paying attention. One of my college teachers actually took my cube, gave it back to me at the end of the day, and warned me if he caught me solving during class time again to say goodbye to the cube. I retorted with "They're $10 at Wal Mart." which didn't make him too happy, hah.
 
This video really annoys me, the solve is fake, but since she can memorize (or read off a card behind the camera), & balance some books on her head, everyone calls her a genius in the comments section.

Here's some of the comments that got me really riled up:

"it proves that woman are intellectually superior to man in all things completely useless"

"Wow, the human race needs more people like you"

"This video.. You are veri smart"

"Man but she really twisted it around, I bet it is still hard to solve it like she did. And even more, in 42 seconds! in that magic number!

I'M IN LOVE"
