"One thing you hate most about cubing."

I hate it when I choke. I'll get a good f2l and oll and I'll see I have like a T perm. So then I check the timer and I'll see I'm like at 15 seconds and I'll try to rush through the algorithm and like 15 lockups and a 7 second T perm later I have a 22 second solve. I can't tell you how many sub 20's I've missed out on for this reason.

Don't look at the timer during your solves :)

It's kinda hard not to... I do to check up on my progress on some of the bigger cubes.
I hate my Rubik's 5x5... with more of a passion than I love my N-perms with...
and the F-perm isn't so bad, and I kind of like the E's, it's just hard to recognize...
 
I don't know any other cubers in my area. It would be nice to hang out with a couple maybe learn a few new tricks.

Where in MN? I know a lot of cubers in the state.

East Grand Forks.

Ahhh....yes. I haven't had anyone from that area come to the competitions. But I've tried to find people interested there. There's a professor at NDSU that's into the cube, and I've tried to see if there's a cube club there, but haven't gotten a response. I wonder if UND has one (you should check the math or Comp Sci departments).

But yeah, Grand Forks would be one of the three places I would consider for the North Dakota Open if I knew there would be enough competitors.

Thx i'll do some poking around see what I can find out. I also know a few ppl that go to NDSU i'll talk to them and see if they can uncover anything.
