Ooh, I guess the WCA has changed their mind (I remember them being allowed for BLD, then being disallowed completely, now they're allowed). Are we doing times to 3 d.p. now, or still truncating them to 2 with the Pro stackmat timer?
Cubes4Speed are not shipping in Europe :( Prices still seem...
Cyclone Boys; I remember those sort of, I don't think that they were that big though a few years ago. I'm pretty sure a friend of mine has their 2x2 (the stickerless one, I guess still banned in competition?)
I vaguely remember Dayan's 2x2 coming out and it being good, my Lubix WitTwo is still...
So, I've been away from speedcubing for about 2½ years now, for many reasons (the main ones being college, and me deciding to get more into chess). A few friends at college started speedcubing, and so I've returned to cubing a bit because of that.
But I have no idea what has happened over the...
You guys are faster than I remember... Maybe after these years of not practising I should start again :p
And I never got the hang of blindfold... Maybe it would be a cool party trick to have.
I got an X-Cube and a Rubik's jigsaw puzzle. For the puzzle, there's two different cubes but the pieces are together. It can be a nightmare when you mix up two very similar pieces. :D
Wow, you're not far behind me now! Especially single; 0.13 difference now!
I need to get back into cubing; I stopped for exams and then I started playing chess.
I take a break from cubing (mainly for exams and some chess, but not at the same time :p) and you've nearly caught up with me. I need to practice more...
And 5x5? I never learn't to completely solve that (can do all but last few edge pairings).
I've only just started solving again, but I think that a break now and again can really help; I didn't solve much for about a month or two around the start of last year, and when I got back into solving I had a slight decrease in times. I've had a similar decrease in times in the past two or...
MS Dhoni said quite a funny quote about that. When asked how the CSK players would ensure a clean IPL this year, he replied "We will try the laundry. That's good, will keep us clean".
Why?
Also, great piece on ESPNcricinfo: http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/738065.html
Anybody watching it today or at any point?
Delhi Daredevils vs Royal Challengers Bangalore should be a good game; interesting to see who plays better out of Pietersen or Gayle.
The game's also being streamed live on YouTube on India Times' channel...
Then I can get co-ordinates of my location, send it to as many people as I can, and then get rescued. Then I have all my cubes, power from the grid and my chair. Problem solved.

I'm doing EOL+1 (EO-Line + 1x2x2 block). As a comparison, Cross+1 is 6 pieces; while EOL+1 is 5 pieces and orienting all the other edges (6 on average); so I'm technically...
Yes; but records are more likely to change than regulations.
We could also have questions on previous WR's (first holder, first sub-x, interesting stats etc.). Also, questions on brands of cubes, puzzle theory, methods, famous cubers and so on.
