The Arnaud holidays party thread

I left snacks, drinks, music, a camera, a pc with internet and scrambles (the password hint should be obvious) and a BIG puzzle surprise at my place.

Erik and/or Anja (the organisers, I am just showing up) will be there at 14:00 so everyone is welcome from that time untill ..... just show up

I will be there at 17:45 myself.

Dinner will be Chicken Siam (sweet!) and if you don't like that we can get you something.

If you want to stay/sleep at my place just bring some stuff. The first 4-6 people will have a nice bed to sleep in. If more people want a bed we can easyily create some.

Have fun everyone and enjoy the BIG surprise
 
The BIG surprise was really nice...

Well, if:
* Cubers/Friends invite themselves to a party
* At your house
* When you are not going to be there

You better make sure they are distracted enough not to go snooping around in your "candy"-drawers ;)

When I arrived around 19:15 about 2/3 of the puzzles were solved. Most variations of Skewb, scrambled Magics, 3D sliding puzzles (Peter's black hole), Nintendo Barrel and Square-1 weren't solved though.

And yes, that is a scrambled cube in a jar. I got that one at the US Open 2007. I also have another one, but that can't be scrambled.
And most of my puzzles turn ok, but there is a reason that none of those are my tournament puzzles

How do you solve/scramble your cube in a jar? Can you still buy "em somewhere?

Just put your hand in the jar and scramble it one-handed! ;)

Anyway, thanks Arnaud, for your hospitality and being Mr. Niceguy as you've always been :)

Now I know what the internet is for! ;)
How to solve/scramble a cube in a jar/bottle? "Easy":

* Get a ship in a bottle
* Get the ship out of that bottle
* Have that ship sail into your "cube in a jar"
* Have the sailors load your cube on board
* Have that ship sail out of your "cube in a jar"
* Fight them for the privilege to play with the cube
* Win the fight
* Scramble the cube
* Make piece with the sailors by giving them the cube on the condition that they return it safely into it's jar
* Betray them by burning their ship after they have returned the cube
* Close the jar.

Finally, the internet is for speedsolving.com (so you can find out about a party at your own house) and for "after"
