Well I once - rather naively - mentioned to a non-cuber that I needed ‘special lubricant to do my Rubik’s cube’.
That joke still hasn’t died down...

I just competed yesterday and I had an easy V perm but I thought it was an A perm and I ****ed up the solve, ended up with a 28 instead of a 19 :/

When I first got a Rubik's cube in middle school I gave up solving it because I couldn't make the LL algorithms work. A few years later I scrutinized the cube more and realized two stickers were switched at one point (Why? By whom??) and after I switched them back I could solve the cube. I spent a few years thinking I was just stupid...

Same lol, but a corner was twisted instead of two stickers

I was such a noob in the early years... I remember my first comp was January 2013 right after Magic and Master Magic were no longer official events. I saw some people practicing Magic and I legitimately considered going up and informing them that they wouldn't be able to compete in it because it wasn't an event anymore. Also, at that comp I used a Rubik's, and I thought I had a chance at round 2 with a 45-ish average.

I was using a Rubik's brand (this was about 4+ years ago) and I wanted a better "speed cube" that was better than a Rubik's vaselined. So I did some research and saw that the zhanchi was the *best* cube out there. So I ordered it on amazon and was very excited. I later returned it because I thought the cube was crap and kept "falling apart" (it was super lose"

My first comp was US Nats 2014, I'd been speedcubing for about two months, so I knew who Feliks and Mats were from Youtube. During Nationals I went up to them while they were talking and asked who I thought was a random other person to take my picture with them...realized later it was Rowe Hessler

i needed to replace stickers on my cube. so while putting the stickers on i had put them in the wrong spot by accidentally turning a face of the cube while applying stickers
