Hey folks, What is cubecomp.de? if you have ever attended a competition in Germany, you have most likely used this software before. It was originally written for Aachen Open 2009 and as far as I know, every single German WCA competition since early 2009 (and a few Austrian and Dutch ones...

Downtown (more or less)

Anyone driving over there from Ottawa and interested in sharing gas money?

Hi Bruce, nice result. I like it very much! So... No offense, but how do we know for sure that your approach is correct? :-) Brute-force-verifying your solution is not an option (right?) and you don't really give a proof that your way of generating it is not flawed (just a really rough sketch)...

Hi Maria, please don't take such things personally. The organizers of Munich Open (Björn and Cubikon) don't have that much experience (compared to people like Ton, Ron, Sebastien, etc., who organized many more competitions). Of course, people make mistakes. It's not against you personally...

Hey guys, at Aachen Open 2011, we used the stackmat timer to generate random numbers between 0 and 99 (last two digits) to decide who competes in our mystery event. Someone pointed out, that this might not be a uniform random distribution. I tried to empirically test that thesis by having a...

LOL, I laughed so hard when I read this. Best "Aachen Open" story in my book. I don't know how I could miss that on sunday... Hilarious :-) I feel bad for Frank ;-)

We just got our 200th competitor registration (+30 guests) after about two weeks (last year, we got about 180 registrations in two months!). The room is getting crowded, so don't take too much time to decide if you want to come!

Registration is now open. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in Aachen! EDIT: We just got more than 100 registrations in less than 5 hours. Most of them german. We would love to have more international competitors! So, come on guys! We want to see some crazy hungarian 9/9...

Nah, there was a stairway from where I filmed it. Pretty good position I think :-)

Small update on the website: All competitors will receive a gift pack, including a new, soon to be released, V-Cube type.

Registration just opened 10 minutes ago. http://cube.hackvalue.de/muc10/

It was a very nice competition indeed. Here are the pictures I took.

By the way, here are some pictures of the competition. As you can see, it was very relaxed ;-)

He said something like "Why are you guys all starring at me? This is really annoying, you know that?".

I think that there would have been no starring if I wasnt filming. People stopped because they didnt want to run through the video, then people stopped to see why all the other people stopped, etc. There was absolutely no "starring" at the competition before that, just chilling ;-) Sorry for...

Read the video description. The program which visuallizes the data is called "gource" and is used to visualize the history of distributed version control systems (which is mainly used for big programming projects). I wrote a small script which reads Stefans SQL dump and creates a file which...
