Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Look what comment I just found on the 5.66 WR video:

Oh God.
Yeah,I'm sure they would all just organise a fake competition just to scramble Rubik's cubes and make fake reversed videos.

I was solving during recess in my school when suddenly two little girls come to me and ask what my fastest time was. After that I did a bad solve of 37 secs and they were gone. It was kind of cute to see little girls be amazed by my ''skill''.
I wonder if they have ever seen my school's fastest solver who is actually the fastest solver in Estonia.
 
weirdly, i never got 'I SOLVED 5 SIDES ONCE!!' ever.

Today:

Another Boy: HEY is guhong good?
Me: (thinks he's a cuber) yeah.
AB: Is the linyun (he pronounced like LI-YUN) good?
Me: yeah.
AB: (to AB2) Hey are you gonna buy the guhong or linyun?
AB2: i already have a guhong
AB: You should buy the guaowiascmsau
Me: (realizes AB isn't a cuber and heard guhong and linyun from AB2 who IS a cuber and was just making up names)
 
I found this comment on Yu Nakajimas 4.77 Pyraminx solve from Hokuriku Eve 2011 "The other guy isnt looking his rubik and he solves o_o OMFG", referring to someone doing a PLL in the background. Sure, a non-cuber may think there's only one step to solving the cube, but the fact that you can see that the F2L is done, and he's not turning it for a short amount of time makes me wonder if the commenter was blind xD
 
I like to do slowed down solves and make up bull honkie maths to go along with it. I.e, explain how the corners are divisibles of 8, yet the middle pieces are divisible of 12. So you need to find teh square route of the corner times the middle piece, in this case being 9.8, so from this we need to bring the corner up just under 10% of a full rotation, to bring the f2l pieces into their slot. People will soon think you are a genius and walk away.

Awesome i gotta try this :D
 
lol every day my 5th hour government teacher comes up to me and my friend when we're solving and says "you know how i solve it?" Me: How mr. krumm?(sarcastically) mr. krumm: "lol i just peel the stickers off."
and not to mention when i brought in my 2x2 everyone was like "oh so is that the cheaters cube or something?"
lol and then when i was tensioning my guhong, some kid though i was cheating by taking off the center caps. and lastly, whenever i hear someone talking about cubing they're like, "hey arent you the guy that can solve the 3x3 in like 4 seconds!?!?" me: no im not are you stupid?
At choir rehearsal yesterday, my friend gave me the "I just peel the stickers off" and her dad gave me the "Oh, I solved it by accident one time." :p

haha some girl at my lunch table, who always thinks she's right said one time, girl: is it ever possible to just solve 2 sides? and then only 5 sides? me: no it isnt possible, you either solve one side, or you solve then all, cause if you solve 5 sides then the pieces that are "unsolved" have to be on the last side thus being solved, and you didnt do thatt. girl: well, yes i did since i was just fooling around with it for like 3 hours and i solved 5 sides! me: you're so stupid -.-

At least she was right with one thing, you can solve two sides :)
 
I average 11 - 12 sec using CFOP
they ask what my best time is and I say its 7.xx
someone scrambles the cube and gathers up
3 or 4 people.
then says
"You better beat that 7.xx this time"
??? what the heck. :)
someone gets out a timer.
during my inspection at least one person says
"look he's cheating, you cant look at the cube, the timers not started"
any ways I start. with the timer
they just stare at my cube turning really fast
and goes
"Holy xxxx"
"Oh my god"
"Oh my gosh"
"he's so fast!"
pretty loud

Then when I finish my OLL part they kinda look at my face since it seems solve cuz the yellow pieces are suddenly solved
someone even stops the timer after the OLL ._.
then notices that it's not solved yet.
so they kinda look at my face and the cube back and forth.
Because i dont look at the cube during PLL and stare at a blank or their face, when I finish (I get 11.xxsec)
one person goes
"He didn't even look at it!!!"
and says that two or three times
since it gets loud cuz the crowd is going like
HOLY!
and all those crap.
at last, someone says
"He could have beaten his record, 7.xx, if we didn't go that loud and crazy"
Hehe, thats funny.

Some of my friends who watched my solve alot goes
"Here's his move!"
after my OLL
since the PLL's the fastest final finish.
 
Almost every time someone sees me solve it, they say: "did you just do that?"

umm... obviously.

O so many times. Like when I'm doing sune/antisune OH and walking down the hall way the see it and are all like "Wow he did it without looking and one hand" and I just stare at them and say something along the lines of "No I didn't do it without looking" Or something that confuses them.
 
Whilst showing my girlfriend some finger tricks on my cube today, she said "ooooh, you must be as fast as Fergus Jimjams" :s
 
Yesterday at my english lesson we should say something we have done under the holiday and i said that i have broke my record on rubiks cube.My teacher asked me how many seconds it is now and i said 18. Everyone in my class was amazed and couldn't belive it. But then a very anoying boy in my class, said that he can solve the cube in four seconds. It just pisses me of when i hear non-cubers say that kind of things.
 
Just reply with a "Wow. I'm so amazed by your cubing skills. I really hope I can be half as fast as you someday. Can you bring your cube tomorrow so you can teach me??" Or just ignore!
 
I get "don't you get bored of solving it over and over" a lot. As long as the person asking doesn't understand your motives, then I guess it's a perfectly reasonable question.

They might be thinking along the lines of: "If this guy is so amazingly genius to solve that unsolvable puzzle so fast, why doesn't he get bored with it and just move on?". Erm...because it takes tons of practice to get this fast in the first place? And it takes exponentially more practice to get as fast as I want to be in the future? Sounds simple to us, but we're just the weirdos solving the cube, not a "normal" person like them.

I've reached a point where I don't really care what noncubers think of my cubing antics. I'm not doing it to give them something to think about, I'm doing it for myself.

Ma~n! my spell checker is worse at spelling than me. Stupid piece of software :(
