The other day, one of my friends was using her cube when another girl took it and was fooling around with it. (I wasn't there so I'm not sure exactly what they were doing) I guess the girl had dropped the cube on the ground, and it completely smashed into pieces. Later in the day, my friend came up to me and showed me the cube and asked if it could be fixed, but since one of the centers completely broke I told her it wouldn't work. The girl who broke it happened to be in that class and heard me and said, "it really shouldn't be a big deal, you can just glue all the pieces back on". :fp

I know this isn't what she meant, but she's kind of right. You glue all of the broken pieces back on.
Yeah, the problem is she honestly just meant to glue the whole cube together, which obviously wouldn't help.

A cuber (well, sort of a cuber, he acts like a non-cuber) was telling me how angry he was about the guy who, "claimed he was the fastest cuber in the world". I asked him, "Who are you talking about?" He replied, "The guy who thinks he's the fastest at all the events. Feliks or something."

A couple of scenarios:
1.) I was comfortable with my 2x2x2 cube, and I thought it couldn't break. Then came one day, when I brought the 2x2x2 Ice Cube to school. Then, I gave it to one of my friends to play with, and the next time I saw it, the cube was completely dismantled. It was put back together, but it was never as good as before.
2.) When I got the 4x4x4 cube for Christmas, I took it out and started scrambling it. Then, my cousin said, "I'll give you a tip -- solve the 2x2 centers first." I already knew that, so I said, "Yeah, I knew that."
1 week later...
I was solving the 4x4x4 at a party (bored) and that attracted a crowd. Then, my cousin said, "I was the one who taught you how to do that."
Me: "No you weren't."
Cousin: "Yes I was. I told you to solve the centers first."
Me: "But I already knew that..."
3.) The unavoidable: Big kids come, look at my 2x2, say, "That's so easy," call it a 4x4 once or twice, and pop pieces like crazy.

Why :fp? Is is the fastest at most events, and he got his first name right, and many feel like we'll never beat him, so we're angry.

He was acting like Faz was making illegitimate claims about his times, like he wasn't the real WR holder.

"Look he's not even out of high school and he can solve that thing in under a minute!"
I didn't mention that six-year old kids also can. :|

Some of the 'popular' girls in my class today as we were waiting at the start asked if the could scramble my cube, and whilst one of the was doing it one of the others asked if it was "wound up enough" then the other replied, "No, I'll wind it up some more"
I understand the reasons non-cubers use most of the terms they use for 'scrambling' but I really don't get how this one works? Was she trying to make my cube angry with me so I can't solve it???

Winding is generally used also for twisting. Like you wind up a toy train set, this is done by twisting the winder repeatedly. I would assume this is why they used this term.

So the more you "wind" your cube, the faster you can turn it. Makes sense since you're "winding" a spring

My 7 year old cousin asked to see my 3x3x3, so I gave it to him. He did something like (R L' R L' R L' R L') and said "that was easy". Then I showed him my 7x7x7 and he was like "How...?". It was cute BUT he's still a noob.
AND
At school, my friend asked to see my 3x3x3. He just kept doing (R U') and said " You keep doing this and it solves, right?". He thinks that because I did (R U') x 63 or whatever in class

I got a V-Cube 7 for my birthday.
At school my teacher said in class after the holidays: "It's a bit crazy but I'll give it you. "
She mentioned that she made me solve it (I could not get it from her).
Other children said, "You're crazy, so fast".
And I'm not that fast compared to others on this forum, my pr is 26.67 (it's fast).
