Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

They call my 2x2 the '4' one

This happens to me too and pisses me off to no END!

Some random person who was on tinychat with me, blake4512 and dfgged:

Me: <solving 7x7>
Random person: OMG IS THAT A 49 SIDE RUBRICS
Me: lol
Dfgged: Ill show you how to solve the 3x3 (try to)
RP: ok then, whats the secret
Blake: fail
Dfgged: get the white cross <explains how to>

20 mins later

RP: ok i got the +
Dfgged: so does your cube look like this now <shows solved cross>
RP: no

some time and lots of facepalms later

Me: dfgged refresh cuz your webcam is all messed up
dfgged: ok
RP: what?
dfgged: ok refreshed
RP: refreshed
me: ok
dfgged: ok so after you get the cross you have to solve the corners with a white sticker <explains how>
RP: do i have to solve the cross again?
dfgged: you already solved it
RP: but you told me to refresh my cube so i mixed it up again
everyone: FACEPALM
RP: you cant insult me, its illegal


lulz

I was played with one of those back in the 70's.
taking about my 3x3x3

A friend of mine who is a director at a school in PA was at my friend's house who I got into cubing and said that he never could solve a cube. Well, my friend and I started to show him some basics and I ended up giving him a cube and emailed him links to some tutorials. Cool thing is that he's considering cubing as school project.

My friends think that the longer they scramble the cube, the longer it'll take for a person to solve it.

 

[Samania]

AHH THE 2x2 and 4 one ticks me off too. At first I thought they were talking about a 4x4.

heres a few quotes from when I brought my megaminx:

"WTF IS THAT THING."
*starts getting into solving* -random kid, "HEY LOOK! STARSS!"

This one drives me nuts, because it's so obviously wrong. Maybe it's just because I have a mathematically oriented mind, but I didn't even think that before I cubed.

*reviewing an algorithm sheet*

some jerk:OMG RUBIK'S CUBE TECHNIQUES! WHO HAS THAT MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS! XD XD XD

It only had 3 algs on it

 

[Tyjet66]

"They have this thing called a pentaminx, wish has like 20 sides and has like 100 stickers on each side, and it costs like $2,500." "If I had to figure out a rubik's cube, I'm sure I could, it would probably take me like a day, it's all math and I'm good at math." Both of these from the same idiot in my math class... Oh, and I'm better than him at math lol.

 

[miniGOINGS]

"They have this thing called a pentaminx, wish has like 20 sides and has like 100 stickers on each side, and it costs like $2,500."

There is a Petaminx, which has 12 sides, and has 101 stickers on each side, and cost approximately $3,500. Maybe he's not as idiotic as you think.

I brought a PLL sheet to school before...

"I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS LANGUAGE!"

hah.

He also talks like he knows EVERYTHING cubing related although he struggles with the checkerboard pattern... He is one of those people that pretends to know things in an attempt to get people to like him. So perhaps he looked that one online.

I had a paper I had written my PLLs on with me once at school. It fell out my pocket, and immediately: "THAT'S HOW HE DOES IT!! CHEAT CODES, CHEATER!!!"

Don't start with the cheat stuff it starts arguements.

 

[Mariah94]

"How do you solve it?"

"You memorize algorithms and recognize when to use them."

*Shows what an algorithm looks like on paper*

"CHEATER! Learning how to solve it like that is cheating!"

"Ugh."

*Walks away*

 

[Ranzha]

Is this a valid statement in the reposnse to a person accusing a person of cheating?

"You think people just figure these things out, and that learning sequences is cheating? There's a mathematical reason to why these things work. It's like you memorize simple things like 1+1=2 to more advanced techniques like 25^2=625. Sure, someone who doesn't know that 25^2=625 could figure out the relationships between the 25, the exponent, and the answer, but simply knowing the facts are what gets you to solve it."

EDIT: I think of this as a start to an argument, and that it can be widely expanded. Just not thinking of expanding.

 

[EnterPseudonym]

i just let them use my "cheat sheet"

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

If I were to have my "cheat sheet" out, and they accuse me...
Come Back 1:Fine. If you think it's so easy, you do this..
