Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[The Puzzler]

I love the "I'm going to scramble it so hard you can never solve it" saying. It makes me crack up every time.

Everyone says that to me. It makes them go 0_0 everytime i solve it.

"OMG. i used to have one of those. I was just randomly turning it and solved 5 out of six sides! I couldn't get the last one."

:fp

 

[ElectricDoodie]

My friend's told me her little brother was solving it by himself, and the whole family was proud. And that he was slowly getting it, but wasn't finished, and it had been 3 weeks. He was 8 years old.

I went to visit them, from college, and her little brother was there. The sister told him to bring the cube to show me, and I looked. 4 out of 6 sides were solved...
I kept looking, and there were stickers that had been obviously moved... 2 opposite side edge colors, on the same cubie...

I told him, in front of his dad, that he would never be able to solve it, and gave him the reason. I said, "I don't think you cheated, but someone in the past moved the stickers, and made it unsolvable."

I told them that the only solution was to redo the stickers, or buy a new one. The dad said I was jealous that his son was so close to getting it, by himself, at such a young age, and that I was trying to ruin it. The kid then started crying.

I seriously couldn't believe it.

One of my favorites is:
"Can you solve that?"
*I solve it in 25 seconds*
"Wow. So you're a cubist!"
WTF???

 

[theace]

I can't really solve it. There's a mathematical formula for it. I'm no good at math... So...

 

[Andrew Ricci]

"Ooh! Ooh! Line up the colors!"

and

"This kid's a frikkin' genious!"

"Ooh! Ooh! Line up the colors!"

and

"This kid's a frikkin' genious!"

Technically, that's pretty much what you do.

Genius*

I think it's pretty obvious that's what you do, that's why it's funny.

Well, yeah, but it's still possible:

EDIT: What I imagine you meant to say was "so that the same colours are not on the same side" which, yes, is impossible.

 

[Joemamma556]

it is possible but not for someone who doesn't know what the hell they are doing

 

[Tdude]

OH!!!!!!! There's a V on the Cube he orientates them with the V

-person scrambles-
-cuber solves-
Person: OMG WTF YUR LIEK SOOO SMARTZ

 

[Joker]

my friends hav a really bad sense of humor, so they pretend to mix it up and then they make sure that it is only one turn away to solve it. then they say "look i can solve it!!!!!" then they turn the cube. "I'M FASTER THAN YOU!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!"

Feliks is still faster, even if they need one move to solve, and Feliks as a normal solve :tu

[pwnage51]

[buelercuber]

damnti it was imposible to find this page, tooj me half an hour, anyway.

http://www.disinfo.com/2010/08/every-possible-rubiks-cube-solution-found-with-20-moves-or-less/

damn people,

my reply.
please add if you see any more mistakes.


omfg two mistakes int the first two sentences,

first off the "Rubik's Cube" is 30 years old,

second, Erno Rubrik's last name is actually Rubik, not Rubrik.

third, "speed-cubers" do not only use one algorithm, we use many. more like 75 - 100 or more.

and fourth, "correctly align the 26 colored cubes" if your pointing to the "cubies" there is only about 21 "cubies" on the cube each with two or
three stickers, excluding the center pieces that only hold one sticker.

god you guys can't do basic ****in' math man, why'd you let this guy do this report?

get your facts strait man
