when people ask you how you solve the rubik's cube so fast you say. . .

[HowSuneIsNow]

how do i do it so fast?
practice

how do I do it?
layer by layer working my way up from the bottom.

you use algorythms right?
yeah once I get to the last layer. the other layers are done intuitively, but even when i do the algos most of the work is recognising which ones to use quickly.

I just take the stickers off
that takes too long

 

[leeho]

I say "I try every single possible solution there is until it solves itself" then I just solve it and they believe me. =S

 

[Daniel Wu]

I just say 'Internet'.

Yup. I say that or youtube.

 

[canadiancuber]

i look on yt

 

[DaijoCube]

I go :

Centers don't move. Corners do not take the place of the edges. NEVER.
You don't solve stickers, you solve cubies.

An algorithm is a combination of movements in a certain order that will change the place of some pieces or orient some pieces without ****ing all that you've solved.

NO I DON'T USE a formula that will solve the cube entirely no matter what initial position there is.

 

[Mapar]

I say 'watch.'

 

[ianini]

I say I turn faster.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Starting today, I will now walk them through CFOP.

 

[Andreas737]

Whenever I even say the word algorithm, they go into that old "that's cheating" talk.

 

[megaminxwin]

Currently I just say this:

'I twist it really really fast.'

However, from now on I'm using this:
'My brain is sufficiently advanced enough to be able to modify yours by just thinking about it and sending messages to your brain. While doing this, I disassemble it on that chair over there' - points to chair - 'and reassemble it in the solved position. However, because of my modifying of your brain - it's temporary, don't worry - it looks like I am solving the cube in one smooth, continuous motion. I got this skill from the Master of Cubes, Endoso Toshimichi. It's a long story.'

If they don't want to know, that's good.
If they do want to know, then I start going on with a story about how it happened, and how I got here today.

This should be interesting to the first person I do it on...

I avoid telling them about the internet. It automatically sends "cheater" to there lips. I usually just walk them through a solve, or I make a sarcastic comment about moving my fingers.

I don't know if I've posted here before :s.

 

[maxiovane]

How do you do it?
with hands.

 

[riffz]

I avoid bringing up algorithms because they immediately assume that you just memorize a ton of them to get fast. Usually I just say that I practice a lot and discuss it on an internet forum with other cubers.

 

[rubiknewbie]

I say I'm not fast goddamit

 

[Forte]

I always say Internet because I don't want them to go on forever with the false impression that I came up with how to do it myself

 

[Mitch15]

carefully

 

[abctoshiro]

them: how do you solve it so fast?
me: i memorize a lot of things
them: can you teach me now?
me: nope.
them: why?
me: not now.
them: WHY NOT NOW? WTF TEACH ME!
me: okay, i'm gonna teach you.
them: so how?
me: first, solve pi raised to the cube root of 100000000. then, when you are finished....i'll teach you.
them: wtf.
me: *smiles then walks away*

 

[BowDown2Gir]

How do I solve it?
Carefully.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Person:How do you...
MeThat's it, this is the last straw)...Erik Akkersdijk taught me. And I'm Yu Nakajima's cousin...and Cameron Brown's friend.
Person:...Who?

 

[SuperNerd]

Them: How do you solve a Rubik's cube so fast?
...

Me: No. It's... Nevermind..... As I was saying, OLL is Orienting the last lay-
Them: What does oreo mean?
Me: Orient not oreo.
Them: oh.

...

It may just be that I am really tired, but that literally made me lol.
