canadianCUBING Classic 2009

[JustinJ]

Yeah. I'm sure if you practice 5x5 you'll beat me for sure, since I have a new 2x2 addiction.

That's because it's the most important event. I kid, I kid.

anyway. I'm looking forward to this I hope I can improve an adequate amount by it.

Zaxef, don't worry, 2:45 is definitely not last place .

 

[Zaxef]

Zaxef.
I could do 5x5, and just fail miserably?

You might as well just sign up for every event you have the puzzle for - More fun that way right?
You won't fail miserably, just try to beat your PB on your WCA profile

That's because it's the most important event. I kid, I kid.

2x2 isn't an important event to me.. mostly because I don't own one.. But maybe next comp I'll be more serious about it.. learn a little Ortega or somethin
I look forward to meeting everyone, for future reference.. Zaxef is also known as Dan Matheson and you'll be able to pick me out of a crowd quite easily.. Tall pale white kid with really curly hair and wearing a Dakine backpack

We'll see about that last part hehe, but as I said, if I came in last but I still did good compared to my own standards then I'll be happy.
One single under 2:45 will make me happy
Under 2:30 and I'll be thrilled

2x2 is the most beast puzzle.

 

[StachuK1992]

yeah. I'm currently learning the CLLs. hopefully I can finish by C3.
I plan do learn all Sune cases today. Any suggestions?

I want this month to go faster... (July, that is)

Learn them in pairs

 

[StachuK1992]

4 sune cases down so far. I'll def finish sune today. The recog. is the only 'hard' part...

 

[Zaxef]

Are there that many more algs for 2x2?
I guess they combine OLL and PLL at the same time right? Since there's only corners..
I just figured I'd use the 2look OLL algs to orient the corners then use PLL's to permute them :/

Might be slow but it works for now

"they combine OLL and PLL"
That's what CLL is. 'corners of the last layer'

With the method you were thinking of, I get sub 8 average, so practicing that is perfectly fine; I just want to get really fast, and don't mind learning CLLs.

Yeah my suggestion is don't cram them all. I split each section up in to 2 days. Recognition is important and you don't want to learn all these algs if you are going to end up forgetting how to recognize them. If it works for you though ok. Oh and watch Rowe Hesslers videos they really help. (You may already be doing that).

 

[StachuK1992]

I have watched all of his videos, went over his recog. methods for each case, and have made a word document with my favorite algs.

Now all there is to do is learn them.

Yes I assumed as much.. OLL+PLL for corners only = CLL
sub-8 is pretty good..
Is CLL part of Ortega or is that something different?

I just realized that I can't come to C3...

WHY DOES WATERLOO HAVE TO HAVE STUDENT LIFE 101 ON THE MOST AWESOMEST AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST REDEMPTION DAY OF MY LIFE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Are we having a cube meet in August, Dave?

that sucks..
Isn't school over now though? :/
"Student Life 101" doesn't sound that important

 

[abr71310]

School is of course over, but university orientation / course selection takes place in July...

and July 25th just HAD to be the day that Waterloo hosted their orientation for next year's students...

Waterloo is like... right beside Kitchener
maybe you can still stay for part of it.

This competition will not have an after party, since the museum will close immediately after the competition itself. To make up for this, we will plan to have a cube meeting in August.

 

[jtjogobonito]

I am about to reserve my hotel because I am going to C3! I hope to meet and re-meet a lot of cubers.
