Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[Cheese11]

"Do you have one of those cheap fake chinese Rubik's cubes?"

This.

 

[Mudkip]

We've had an outbreak of noob cubers. They all use Dan Brown ;(
Apparently one of them told people to use vaseline, because that's the first thing people ask me now..

At my school some of the people that have seen me cubing bought cubes and started learning beginners method, they all think they are really cool (they never practice, just at school to "show off", avg ~3 min, I don't consider them cubers) and now they have started buying Dayans and AVs and DIYS. And I'll hear them talking to people like "yeah, you have to be a genius to do this thing, not everyone can do it" and stuff like that that just pisses me off.

also I hate when people say "teach me, right now".

 

[Ickenicke]

"Let me try mixing it up and see if you can do it"
"I'm going to mix it up for days, and see if you can do it."

I always hear that!

 

[5BLD]

My music teacher: There's nothing special about that. It's just algorithms.

Me (taking that as the cubing term, instead of the actual word): Nah, the first two steps for example are building blocks.

Yeah, exactly, you always do the same thing so it's algorithmic (walks away proud of himself)

I, I am so sorry for you. The only person who got "inspired" to cube after seeing me cube; has gone on to almost learn 4LLL and F2l (still learning both) and averages about 50 seconds. He doesn't show off, so I am proud.

Yeah, i'm just hoping it's just a phase and they'll get over it

Fight fire with fire. Tell some people that they're using "cheating cubes that solve themselves." Don't worry, they'll believe it.

When they ask to scramble my cubes, they never give them back..

 

[Achifaifa]

When someone tells me that he wants to scramble my cubes I give him all of them. I don't really like scrambling, and it's always good to have something near you to do all the hard job

This is VERY impressive. I find it could actually solve the cube in 27 seconds behind his back. This sound too good be true.

Happy fun

 

[crocuber]

I solve the cube in 18-20 seconds

and my classmates say: You can learn all of that on you tube.

but they can't learn it

So they can't follow directions?

 

[crocuber]

no, but they always say that they could do it faster than me, and when I give them my cube, they even don't know how to hold the cube in their hands...

Happy fun

Me too. They always ask me why "I make the last side one color before solving it".

For fun, I decided to ask my math teacher how people come up with 43 quintillion possible combinations. He did something like 9!^4 I don't remember. He did know how to solve it though and he was amazed at me solving in 25 seconds. It was quite fun talking to a teacher about my hobby.

8!/2 * 3^(8-1) * 12!/2 * 2^(12-1)
Or
Possible permutations of corners * possible orientations of corners * possible permutations of edges * possible orientations of edges

Treasure that, dawg. Not everyone gets to!

 

[FlyingFingers]

This happen at school. People crowd me and the there like "OMG ur so good "Im kinda like (._.)" And I used to take (In my head Oh no NOT AGAIN) the stickers off." "I put Vaseline in my cube." "Whats that Logo?" "Whats the Secret?" "Were did you learn how to cube?" "Don't you get tired of solving the cube over and over?" "I can solve it it just takes an hour.." "I have this friend that can do it in like 2 seconds.."

"Dosn't it get boring?" Whenever people ask me this i want to slap them.
