Speedcubing in Melbourne
Hi All,
Paul, Ninja and I caught up at Melbourne Central the other day
There's a massive non-functional cube there!
Paul was solving the 3x3x3 blindfolded with a cycle method
Ninja did a 16 second non-lucky 3x3x3 solve
And I did a few sub 1.5 second Magic solves
Learning different methods and new algorithms was by far the most rewarding part of the meet. If you want to catch up at Melbourne Central too for a bit of speedsolving let us know. Perhaps we can make this a regular thing?
Cheers,
Tim.
Awesome Tim, glad there's more speedcubers in Australia

I know 12 other people that are cubers but don't actively participate on this forum or other cubing related ones. About 4 others too that don't go to my uni ^^Originally Posted by joshuali

i think i would really enjoy coming to a meet like that. can any of the other 12 that you know that r cubers come to the unnofficial comp in november? we need some more people to make it more competitive.
You guys should get organized. I could use a vacation to Australia.
it would be cool if you came
Or you could pop over the Tasman to New Zealand in early to mid december!

There was another impromptu meet today with:
- Paul
- Michael
- Amston
- and myself.
Michael was assembling a ES 5x5x5 after someone made it explode on a tram when I showed up (those things are a pain to assemble x.x). Then we pulled out some puzzles and compared them. Japanese DIY Kits are awesome! O.O My cube is good too though.... (I suppose it's one of those "the grass is greener on the other side" type of things that doesn't make up for my slow solving. <.<).
Some PLLs and OLLs were discussed. And we gave some tips for Amston when going from 3 minute solves to sub 1min. There wasn't a heap of solving, but we did get a few solves in! Paul did a 3x3x3 BLD solve with the cycle method behind his back which proved to Amston that it is possible ^_^ And I saw Michael do a sub 15 solve which is way faster than my PB!
Watch out at the upcoming competition! It's not going to be easy to set an AuR with competitors like this! :-D
Tim.
