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...
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,

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...
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...
