Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

Same here. Homeschoolers unite!

Yes! I love homeschooling. Your last name is my grandma's maiden name!

I will post eevryday on here of what happens at school.
Today, someone said
"Dude what if they made a 1000x1000 cube!?!?"
Me: Ummm it would be VERY easy if you know how to solve any big cube it would just take WAY longer becasue of size."
Him: "Whatever"

I wouldnt say solving a 1000^3 would be described as "easy". Sure, you know the method to solve it, but my god will you be on centres for several days/months

Just because something takes a long time doesn't mean it's "hard".

Thanks for backing me up sneakly!

I'm just saying there's a difference between difficulty level and the time it takes to do a puzzle. Unless the "not easy" part of doing something that takes a long time is the fact that it is hard to stick with something that's so tedious. So actually you are both right. It's easy but it's hard. Just trying to differentiate...

I wasn't having an argument my friend , Just saying there is a lot of risk with crazy huge cubes. If you make a mistake then it could take hours to undo. It may not be "hard" in the conventional sense in that you don't know how to solve it (Like how it's impossible for non-cubers to solve a 3x3) but hard as in extremely irritating to do. Personally I'd have a much easier time making progress on a smaller cube than on a crazy huge cube.

Also, it's harder to lift a 1000^3 xD

Imagine screwing up a parity alg on a 1000x1000 and having to start over...

 

[sneaklyfox]

So a 1000x1000 is not theoretically hard but it is practically hard. Does that define it pretty well on both fronts?

my friend scrambled my fangshi, and said he's give me a dollar if I could solve it in 30 seconds.

He counted really slow, and am wondering if he did something to the dollar.

Me: talking about BLD (which I can't do but know the basics)
Friend: So... how do you know when you're finished? :fp

You should reply, "Intuition."

aaaah the amount of sub 10 solves I've had from people who count slowly.

On the subject of counting, since us speedcubers use timers so often, I figured we'd have pretty good accuracy in measuring short lengths of time in our head. I managed a 10.17 average of 5 counting to ten with my eyes closed. I got a 10.01 on my first try xD

10.26, 9.63, 10.02, 10.03, 9.78 = 9.94 Ao5
You should make a thread for this challenge.

World famous quote from non-cubers:

"Give me that cube, let me scramble it without you seeing it" Then they jerk it out of my hand and my main is a sticker less zhanchi so when they grab it and scramble it (more like destroy the cube practically) they scramble for like 5 minutes straight and i just get tired of it after like 1 minute and they turn LLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSLLLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW and i get tired of them scrambling it so i try and get it back and they hold it in a VERY tight grip and i pull on it really hard to get my cube back and its sticker less and fairly loose so the cube explodes and the springs come out literally. Then they go tell the math teacher "It broke " and im like "WTF!?!? I CAN EASILY FIX IT!?!??!"
Makes me so freaking mad -_-
