Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[amostay2004]

I can't believe I just read all 122 pages. This has to be the best topic I've ever seen on a forum.

I've never cubed in public so I can't join the talk

a closet cuber? that's new...you should join the club...there are loads of idiots out there just waiting to say things that make you chuckle!

and also idiots here who think people who don't understand the cube are idiots

"i don't have the mind for that?"

You seem you be extrapolating . I'm simply referring to those who say those stupid things.

 

[Chapuunka]

I was teaching someone how to solve the cube, and I think he's directionally challenged.

"Turn the front side."
R
"No, the actual front side of the cube."
R'

That one took a while.

I was explaining parity to my sister, and then i said you can have parity on a 3x3 by disassembling it and putting it wrong together, but in a normal solve you cant have parity. And she said: yes you can, if you boxthingy explodes in a solve, and you put it wrong together.

I laughed my *ss of whrn she used the word"boxthingy"!xD

I love when you are solving a rubik's cube and someone who obviously has no idea how to do it and never has in their entire life is like "oh i solved 2 sides once but then i got stuck"

or when they're like i know how to solve one side, and then proceed to solve one side and not one layer and then you tell them its wrong and they get so angry

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

"I solved it once in 3 seconds."

"The world record holder is Chinese with a 2 second solve."

"Did you meed that kid on rubikscubechat.com?"

I do feel somewhat proud of people who figure out how to solve 1 face by themselves, though.

Lol, never thought there was a word for it, but I guess that also makes me a "Closet Cuber."

I never solve the Rubik's Cube in public.
I'll do it in my house, but only with people who already now I can solve it. Or if friends tell someone else I can do it, and they want to see it, then I'll solve it for them.

The main reason being that I feel like a show-off if I'm sitting somewhere and solving it over and over again. Well, college is starting back up in 2 weeks. I figure I'll be doing it more out in public, as I wait for classes and such.

Yeah, I used to bring my cube with me a lot... generally not a good idea. Creates a big crowd, looks like you are showing off, and then you get a bunch of people asking "let me try/scramble it for you". Now I am forever known as "The Rubik's Cube guy". :/

 

[yockee]

I haven't read these yet, so I apologize if these are used 100 times:

I get the following so much that I made a "Things cubers hate" video on my you tube channel. (xxoxia)

"I used to take the stickers off."
"I can do one side."
"You can't do it in 20 seconds. The world record is 28 seconds!"
"I did it once when I was a kid."
"You just remembered the way you scrambled it, and did it backwards."
"Look! He can do it without looking!" (said while I'm scrambling)
"Are you winning?"
"You still haven't solved it?"
"You must be good at math."
"Why is it taking you so long this time?" (said while I'm scrambling)
"I bet I could solve that one." (referring to the 2x2, and they never can)
"Why aren't you in the Guiness book of world records?"

And the best one goes to:

"What do you do with it, now?" (said after finished solving)

Dude, I am actually famous in my town just because I can solve the cube. On facebook, search rubix cube guy in knutsford. It's a group that some kid made, with about 300 some odd members that just sit and talk about me.

 

[Cyrus C.]

I've gotten a whole bunch of comments on the God's Number thing.

Also, while I was getting braces yesterday, the orthodontist asked me when "Clinton Rubik's Cube 2.0" was. If there is another Iowa Open, I want to call it that.

 

[yockee]

I get oh I did 2 sides and got 5 sides once I started chuckling and the guy was like you don't believe. Then I explained. Sticker peeling is annoying as is the sides. I got one guy who said I saw a guy do that in 4 seconds was that the world record. But most annoying is when people say "Oh Isn't the world record held by some asian kid?" and they talk about how asians are the best. No offense to asians I am not racist or anything but they are not the only ones who can solve the cube and the ones on this forum no that it's just ignorant non-asians who think. It's annoying how dumb some non-cubers.

Run-on sentences are very hard to read.


Meh, I don't get much...

1. "Damn. Asian Skillz!"
2. "Man, you must be a genius!" (why, thank you very much...)

Especially run-on sentences with words missing or spelled wrong, and used for calling others "dumb".

I was talking to someone who thought there was some sort of a cheat. They thought you did the same sequence of moves over and over. He was like, 'It's left up, right sideways, top over. And then you do it again.'

No, it's up up down down left right left right B A select start. Jeez.

Why do you guys hate it when people say they can solve one side? At least they're somewhat cubers. Somewhat.

Well, usually they're lying and just trying to make themselves look good

Somewhat cubers are frowned upon on the speedsolving forum.

because half the people here are douches

 

[penfold1992]

probably been said before but the usual come up like "i used to peel the stickers off" or when youve finished the cube and you begin scrambling they say "now hes doing it without looking what a show off.."

the "i can do one side" thing is ok... and then your like "yea but even that one side is wrong look these pieces need to match!" then they go all mad at me like it was such a challenge to get a non complete side...

people saying i got one "incorrect" side on a 2x2 is much more embarrasing though...
