Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

so a kid comes up to me and takes my guhong and i dont let go but he forcefuly(?) takes it a corner comes off and splits into 2 and when i caught up with him he takes an edge and acts like i didnt see him
in the end i got my pieces back but not without getting really pissed off

I always thought that if a puzzle was used as a weapon, it would be beating someone with a heavy puzzle (like a V6). Apparently I was wrong :p.

A legitimate move IMO... (Page 2 of the Rouge-C manual, article 5-f).
Everything above 4x4x4 order is considered a "grenade" though... If you don't have the time for a "clean" shot, then hurling a "big cube" for a frag is your next best option. Although; be aware that throwing a 7x7x7 into somebodies face with full force(point blank) will inevitably result in collateral damage to bystanders. Collateral can't always be avoided, but may prove to be necessary in certain situations. If you use "grenades", please make sure that the victim picks up the pieces for you and then apologizes for obstructing the flight path of said weapon with their pie hole...


And then hand them a DaYan card in case they want to join the club.

It was last week I think, public transport. My DaYan-Mf8 exploded on PLL. The guy sitting in front of me was like; "Man, you almost had it and then it broke!". He looked genuinely compassionate and concerned about the cube. I said: "This cube does that quite often, every ten solves or so, it's okay ;)". He then asked: "How many of those things do you have to buy to keep up?". Unfortunately, he left the train before I had gathered the pieces and popped them back in...

Just imagine you had to buy a new cube every time one popped...

Non cubers seem to love the 4x4x4 though. It seems like, to them, 3x3x3 is "too easy" and 5x5x5 is just unfathomable. I've had the most sincere cheers when solving a 4x4x4 in public, even if my time wasn't that great. 2x2x4 seems to get me a bunch of gawks too. Probably because you can buy them in any toy store here and also because they "change shape". Shame these damn 2x2x4s break so easily though...
 
One guy said how the 2x2 is actually harder than the 3x3, since it doesn't have the center pieces, and those are what you start from. Although he was technically wrong, I was still surprised to see he had some knowledge of center pieces.

Also the 4x4x4 seems to be at the intersection of truth as it says here:
http://polymath.mit.edu/blog/rubiks-cube-difficulty-graph/

But yes, non cubers think the 5x5x5 is much harder than it is and the 2x2 much easier than it is.

I thought the exact same thing back when I could only solve the 3x3x3. And I was no longer a "non-cuber" at the time.

Wouldn't it be great to have an "on-off" switch in your head that you can flick to make you forget everything you ever learned about cubing? I'd be slamming that muvvah up and down constantly. Mid-solve. Owait...aka THC...

"Now is time for cake"

Sometimes when I'm at lunch, people come up to me an look at teh 2x2 and say, "I bet I could solve that!" Then I give it to them, and twenty minutes later the bell rings and they give it back to me scrambled still.
 
I heard someone sincerly use the word "Aroobix cube" today. I thought it was just a myth! :O
 
We had club sign-ups at school, and one my friends and I submitted (Verbally) was the Rubik's cube club.
We didn't call it speedcubing to bring in more non-cubers interested.
On the paper, they had it spelled "Rubicks"
My friend pointed out that it was spelled wrong, and we ROFL'd.
Someone else said "I'll fix it"
And the club is known as..The Rubix club!
