You know you've been cubing too long when...

(This is for you JacobCahoon)

You try to solve ice cubes.

You always say "4x4 isn't a car. It's a cube. Dummy."

You can't bear to see an unsolved cube.

You have names for your cubes.

(R ² r ²) B ² U ² (L l) U ² (R' r ') U ² (R r) U ² F ² (R r) F ² (L ' l ') B ² (R ² r ²) gives you nightmares.

You say "OLL" instead of "LOL" on the interwebz.

R2D2 doesn't make you think of Star Wars anymore.

When someone insults you you make an FU move. If they've been cubing, they make an FU2 move.

 

I know I've been cubing too much when I've already read this article multiple times




No seriously I have read MANY times

 

Funny thing is, those all describe me. Here is another one.
You know you've been cubing too long when you give your cubes personalities.

 

Pancakes345 I am going to a WCA cubing competition. I am going to set national records for 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 7x7, and skewb. These records are not for USA, but for a different country that I am competing for

 

I take it these are rubix cubes.
Whats your fastest time on a 3x3 mines 1min 11sec.

 

Mines is 9 seconds.

 

What method do you use?

 

CFOP

 

Sorry, but that method looks like it would take months to learn.
I only use the layer method.
p.s. did you know that the Rubik's cube has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible scrambles, all of which can "mathematically" be solved in 20 moves or less

 

Yeah, I'm a Rubik's Cube fanatic. I know everything about them. And yes it did take months to learn CFOP. I now know 170 algorithms. That's only for 3x3, I know TONS more for 2x2, 4x4, 5x5, 7x7, and skewb!

 

Ever tried an 11x11?

 

No. They are too expensive. I know I could solve it because you solve it the EXACT same way as 7x7.

 

Nice

 

I'm raining likes!

 

Same here

 

This is pretty funny, actually.

I was using an online timer for my 2x2 solve. I accidentally set it to that "1, 2, 3, go!" when you hit space. I forgot I had done that so when I hit space, I started solving it right away. I ended up solving in 3 seconds by twisting all the corners n' stuff (cheater) and so wel...
basically because there was a "3, 2, 1" involved, and I hit spacebar to stop, it said 0.45 seconds on it. I literally freaked out. I began another solve and then realized that the "3, 2, 1" messed me up.

 

"rubix"
i'm done

 

hey, I cube too. my best time for the 3x3 is around 40 seconds, it's been a while since I was that fast though, I've forgotten a few algorithms I had memorized to speed up the last layer doing CFOP

 

Yes! Someone who can do it! I use CFOP and just got a 9 second solve the other day. I'm going to a competition. Your tracks are some of the best ones I've played by the way.

 

..... I will stay out of this
