Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[LewisJ]

That's not a square though.

* The diagonals of a square bisect each other
* The diagonals of a square bisect its angles.
* The diagonals of a square are perpendicular.
* Opposite sides of a square are both parallel and equal.
* All four angles of a square are equal. (Each is 360/4 = 90 degrees, so every angle of a square is a right angle.)
* The diagonals of a square are equal.

that shape doesn't meet all of those criteria and cannot be classified as a square.

You completely missed the joke. I'm impressed that you can cut/paste from wikipedia though.

yesterday i was solving my v7 in class and someone came up to me and was like "OMG the rubik's cube is on steroids!!!"

lol

Squircle...

So how about a spherical cube?

x^4+y^4+z^4=1

Sigh. Thanks for killing the joke.

Chris Hardwick? He's somewhere near Orlando. Brian Loftus is in Gainseville I believe.

I'm in Jacksonville

Apopka Here, Its like 30 minutes from Orlando.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

x^4+y^4+z^4=1

Are you trying to say this is an inequation? I don't get it.

 

[sivl]

other people : WOAH!! HOW DID YOU SOLVE THAT?!??!!??
me : use some algorithms...
other people : WOAH!!! u must be a nerd ro remember all that...
me : its not me bring smart to solve this, its just u who dunno how to fully utilize ur brains.. thats all u retard!!!
LOL XD

A non-cubing friend and I joke around about it, but occasionally I manage to get pwned. Unfortunately, the nature of human memory reveals its limitations with some of the challenges he puts me through, such as when he had my cube that was a U-Perm away from being solved. He wanted me to tell him what to do, but since it's all based on muscle memory, I tried to tell him that I couldn't do it, but he really didn't care, so I had to "mime" out the algorithm and tell him what to do at the same time. Needless to say, I made a mistake and I ended up looking silly.

that happens to me alot. haha

I got a list here they are all foolish things to say even if you don't know how to cube.
"I used to just peel the stickers off"
"how do you do that" as if I could explain it in a few minutes.
I give them my cube to mix, while they are mixing it they say "You will never get it now"
After they mix the cube for 3 minutes with their back to me they give it back and while im solving it they say "I didn't mix it up my best" (because they know im going to solve it lol)
Also if i give them one of my loose cubes if it pops, which is ok becuase they are not used to it, someone else has to say "Oh, look! He broke your cube!"

"Why do you do this all the time?"

 

[ben1996123]

So, at school today, this random person who I don't know comes up to me and says "Are you the one who can do the gabrubix cube?"

gabrubix? Thats a first...

Then someone else says "What's that squares thing that you do <makes random hand movements>?"
Sort of cubing friend: Rubik's
Other person: "Cubriks?"

:fp

my teacher today was explaining the baroque (?) literature.

she was explaining that there were the triangles of love, and they were never-ending; then she said it was a "circular triangle".

Don't give your Magic or Master Magic to a non-magicer. Ever.

"He likes aerobics cubes"
It was a 5-year-old, so you can't blame him.

so, yesterday i was sitting in the livingroom, on the couch, under a blanket. and i was doing my LL BLD (just because i like that). and my mother hates the sound of cube, and she was doing watching tv. and then she said: could you please stop that?
me: what?
she: turning your cube.
me: why?
she: because of the sound, and you don´t even look at it.
then i tried to explain her that i was BLD'ing
and she said: that doesn't make sense, It are always the same moves anyway...
Me::fp

It's almost always is anyway, especially LL

(...) It are always the same moves anyway...

Grammar fail intended?

"which one is harder?" -points to a 2x2 then a 4x4-
Really? Which one LOOKS harder?
