Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[melaladi]

or they hide it from you when they're mixing it up because they think you will memorize their turns

 

[caseyd]

well, zemdegs could probably do that

Every since I brought my crappy Rubik's 4x4x4 to school, everybody has been asking me, "Hey, can I try your 4 sided cube?"

Well...It is...Isn't it?

No

A girl wanted me to solve the 4x4 and told me that solving the rubiks cube was the sexiest thing she ever saw.

Rubiks cube, sexy? lol...

My family calls my Rubik's Icon the Emo Cube.

I was solving the cube in the lobby of a hotel. Some people were watching me solve and saying, "He'll never solve it."(This happens all the time). I was on OLL when they said this, so I was able to finish it really quickly and amazed them all.:tu

Once some girls walked past me and sad OMG he turns it so fast and he don't even looks on it :O
(I was scrambling)

Once, I was solving my cube and my friend was commenting on my "finger pushes". He said "Wow, look at his finger pushes! He just flicks it with his finger! There's no way I can do that!" (does some really good fingertricks on my cube) "See? Its so hard!"

Talking to a cuber, his friends skates in and inspects our GuHongs
"Oh, crappy Chinese cubes.. so loose and with stickers? I can get sturdier and face-printed cubes for $2 at *(insert cheap toy store name).
"Trust us, this cube is probably the best there is, and the crappy one is the one you mention. Period. "
"what do you know? I can solve it in 2 minutes!!"

After 2 minutes of arguing, he grabs to cube to "show us". 5 minutes later he gives up.. on headlights OLL

I hate it when people say that good cubes like the Gu Hong are bad! Once someone called my Alpha V cube "cheap".
I guess people are like that, whenever someone sees something new, they often reject it.

"It's so worn out!" is the most original one I've heard recently.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

two days ago:
(on 2 look OLL)
"you can never solve it"
(solves it 5 secs later because i was slow solving)
"WTH LET ME SCRAMBLE THAT"
(hands cube over)
"HERE SOLVE IT"
(solves in sub 30)
(walks away, mind blown talking about how only asians can solve it)

and

i can get 1 side!, (teacher comments while cubing) it's very entertaining watching you solve.... (continues solving for the rest of the class smiling since most of my teachers go "put that away!"), can i see your triangle cube? (asking for mastermorphix), that cube is fake.... real cubes should be black! (talking about white alpha V type A), is there a special thing you have to do with it?, isn't there a trick to it?, and can you teach me? (finds out they have to memorize and learn new things) i can't do it! i'm not smart enough!

 

[EdgeRebirth]

Last week, one of my friends said, "Here I'll scramble this for one hour so it'll take you an hour to do it." He got mad when it only took 19 seconds. Sucker

wow.... how mad did they get when they found out it doesn't really matter what position the cube's in since god's algorithm is like 20 moves?

 

[brandbest1]

I get a lot of this:
-Can I spin it?
-UNBELIEVABLE!
-Students:Hey, he's looking at the cube!
Teacher, scrambling:Quiet! He knows the formula! (what formula? maybe he means algorithms or puzzle theory?)
-Can I mix it up?
-I can do it in 30 seconds, can I try? *scrambles* Eh, I can't do it. Bye!
-*pop* He's cheating! (i pop my cubes about 20 times a day)
-Don't you get tired of doing that?
-Can you teach me?
-What's that Rubik's Cube? Is it new? Did it just come out? (i was taking out a lingao magic)
-OOH, a new Rubik's Cube! (new stickers actually)
-I'll get you a 100 by 100! It'll take you a day to solve. (Can someone invent that so i can try?)
-Can I have your Pyramid? (qj master pillowed pyramorphinx)
-*after solve, teacher asks me* What do you think in your mind when you do that?
Response: I think of letters. (not anymore, all on muscle memory now)

And yes, two of my teachers have scrambled my Rubik's Cube poorly. During science, the whole class crowded up behind me. A kid got very jealous the next day (obviously).

 

[sa11297]

somebody tries my alpha feng and says "this thing sucks! it turns so badly. a rubiks brand is better than this thing!" (because it is really crispy/clicky) they are used to my guhong
"can you solve it" while i am scrambling it really fast with fingertricks.
