Would this be considered cheating?

Sign in to disble this ad
I was at my girl's house the other day and we were hanging out with her friend. We were just watching TV. Eventually I got bored and left the room to go outside and smoke. I sat down and picked up a Rubik's cube that was sitting on a table. I start ****ing with it and can't for the life of me figure it out. It gets annoying, but I was just trying to kill time. A few minutes later her friend comes out. She is cute, but I had never even talked to her before.

She came out to smoke as well. So we're sitting on the couch, smoking, talking, and telling jokes. I think we ended up sitting out there and talking about random **** for almost 30 minutes. My girl doesn't seem bothered by this since she didn't come out the entire time. While talking, we both ran out of things to say and just stared at each other. I eventually did my weakest attempt at breaking the awkwardness by looking down at the Rubik's cube.

Things stayed silent for a few seconds after that, so I decided to break the silence by asking her if she knew how to figure out the Rubik's cube. Well it turns out she did and explained the entire process to me. I solved it maybe 10 minutes after that. So what I'm wondering is, since she told me how to figure it out, would it be considered cheating?

Did you and the cube share an emotional connection or was it just a physical release? You should come clean. I've had mechanical puzzles break up a relationship more than once.

it is only cheating if your girlfriends friend is cute.


if your girlfriends friend had been ugly you would have been able to solve the puzzle.

Its only cheating if you pull it apart and put it back together again.
