Sometimes I hear two seconds. No joke.

Once I heard 6 seconds, OH behind your back, blindfolded (Yeah the blindfold makes it even more harder) :fp "On a show by a chinese guy"


Either people's memories are rapidly deteriorating, or the pathological liar trait is more common than I'd thought :confused:
 
One of my collegues got it right at "isn't the world record something like 7 seconds?"

One of the pilots on my latest flight to the US: I could never solve that!
Well, if you can get through pilot training you could definately learn it.
 
I was sitting down at a store the other day waiting for my mom to finish. And this man and his three kids were sitting behind me.

I was solving my cube and:

Girl: Dad look he solved it? How does he do that?
Dad:It is a pattern that he does over and over and it cycles through all the combinations until it solves it self. It is not that impressive.
Me::fp (Thinking yeah it cycles through all 43 quintillion and only 1/12 are possible)
 
My dad calls it a 'cubic rube'. I die inside a little every time he says it.

On a different note, I was using omegle video chat and cubing. (if you don't know, Omegle video basically hooks you up with a random person to vide chat with, and you can leave at any time...)
Some kid gives me the middle finger and tells me "Neeeeeerd, your so stupid, rubik's cubes are for losers..." While I notice in the background, there is a shelf with a cube on it.... wow. :fp
 
I'd never want to go to a website that hooks you up with random people...
Any one of them could be like chat roulette :fp

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.

When this happens, I just say that I go for speed and not really for figuring it out myself. It's understandable because for most people, the puzzle is to get it solved, and looking at a guide is basically cheating. If you say that you just want to know how to solve it fast, people are cool with that.
