World's worst scrambler

[llamapuzzle]

Once I had a couple friends over (two didn't know at all how to solve the cube, and one knew all except for the last few steps of a random beginner method.) The kid who kind of knows is the son of the person who taught me the alg to do the second layer of the cube. Well, while I was explaining to my other friends and the kids mom why it is not possible to have only one cubie unfinished, right behind me THE KID EXPLODES MY EASTSHEEN 5X5! One of my other friends said he was turning it really violently, so I got really made and tried to make him help me put it back together, but that didn't work and I finally got it back together the next day.

wow. I once gave my cube to a guy who did a R U turn then did R' U' and said "OMG I solved it!!!!!!!" and I was like "what a retard..."

That's not how you solve that scramble...

Yes it is. Just repeat it 5 more times. But I'm sure he didn't mean that.

Tyson and I were at this party the other night. We had our cubes with us because we were demonstrating speed/blindfold solves as part of the party's entertainment.

At one point Tyson handed his cube to this Hollywood-type girl and told her to scramble it. She took it and turned the R and L faces over and over for about a minute before giving up and handing it back.

I have never seen someone who actually couldn't figure out how to scramble a cube. It was as if this girl had only ever had experience with the Rubik's cube for blondes.

Don't blame the Hollywood-type girl. She was obviously trying to get a gig in the next beauty and the nerd

Your a player dude! but has any one ever done a bad scramble so they can make them self look like a gawdly cuber?

Some person I met, tried to scramble the cube using impossible moves (For example: Turning the U face 45 degrees, and then at the same time trying to turn L and D simultaneously)

Everyone I know scrambles my cube by popping it then making me put it back together. And then calls me a cheat when I have to rearrange pieces.

Do they understand the simply fact that:

If it's assembled randomly, there's a HIGH chance it's not solvable

???

I assembled the top layer of cube and a 1x1x2 block randomly and in a hurry once, and it was actually solvable.

no...actually I didn't learn that until I started learning olls and plls.

Do we have a cubing mishaps thread? If not, we need one.

The same thing happens with a girl at my school. She holds the L and R sides with the palms of her hands and just starts twisting them back and forth. Everyone once in a while she'll turn another side, most likely by accident.
Another cubing mishap occurred at a Christmas party when a kid was scrambling this good store-bought cube (oxymoron?) I had brought with me. After he was pleased with his scrambling, he proceeded to toss my cube across the room. I went to check my cube and all the lamination had peeled drastically off my cube, most notably an orange side of a corner cubie that had more than half of the lamination peeled off.
I really despise most non-cubers when it comes to cubing matter. They always say something like, "lol wtf how do u do that i cant even get one side!!1"

 

[JTW2007]

The thing I hate is when people see me with a solved cube and ask me if I can solve it. I always want to answer "No, I can only solve five sides"

So did Tyson impress the person by keeping a straight face and actually do the blind solve?

 

[shafiqdms1]

"lol wtf how do u do that i cant even get one side!!1"

Same thing happens to me all the time. As a matter of fact, one guy said while I was solving a cube, "Dude! You can't solve that, thats freakin' impossible!" and this other time, it was really ridiculous, I am solving a cube, and some guy says "Once, I got 5 sides on that completed, but I couldnt solve the rest", if you think about it, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO ONLY SOLVE 5 SIDES! because if you do that means you have solved all 6 sides.

Months ago, my 4 year old sister grabbed my ES 5x5 and tried to scramble it. She only turned the L and R sides. But her hands were too small the hold the cube firmly. Guess what? She dropped it and the core's spoke snapped off and the whole cube just a complete mess.

But, I superglued the spoke back on and reassembled it. It's too loose to speedsolve with.

woops

 

[whauk]

if i ask someone to scramble a sq1 they never understand that you cant turn only a half /. and when they understand they dont know to do sth else than 6,6 or 6,0 which has nothing to do with scrambling

 

[Garmon]

I am going to take my V5 to school, but nobody can touch it though.
My ES 5x5x5 POPed once because of somebody and pieces were everywhere, the V5 is a lot more strudy though.

Haha..nice one
My friend ever told me that she can solve 4 side of it. I still cant understand how it can be possible...
Another friend of mine said that once he can almost solve the entire cube but there's only ONE corner unsolved...

R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 or M2 U2 M2 U2

I can solve 3 sides XD

M' U M' U M' U M' U2 M' U M' U M' U M' U M'

That's what I say when they ask what's the secret. I say solve five sides.
