[AvGalen]

At this rate Maarten will be the new Erik...

No, Mats might be:
His winning average in the finals: 10.61!
1 sub 10 solve, 3 10.xx solves, 1 "slow" solve

Best ever result in a final and second only to Tomasz WR

Erik got second place and Dan got third

[Cerberus]

WOW! awesome average Mats, congratulations on that achievement!
Sorry for Erik but I think like at the WC, he will be OK to be second behind that great average

 

[MTGjumper]

Wow at Mats' average

 

[TobiasDaneels]

Hi all,

a great competition for me after the dissapointing WC last week.
I had good results in some events but too bad I didn't get a single top 3 rating.
I was close though:
2x 6th (6x6 and 5x5)
1x 5th (2x2)
2x 4th (3x3 and 4x4)

Ha, we'll get it next time.

For those who want to give a try to the FMC scramble of this competition:

R2 D B2 U B2 D B' D' R' U' F' D2 B2 R D L' B' F

I really hard one!
Winning solution was 35 moves bij Erik and me

I'm happy with my own results, just click the WCA link on the left of this message to see why (it's not great compared to others, but it's great compared to me)

and ja know what's funny? Yesterday my unofficial Personal Record was 24.08 (a month ago too by the way), now my official personal record is 24.08
to the hundredth of a second exact!

also, (if I didn't do it in person, I have a bad memory) congrats Mats

Hi,

Did anyone notice Ernö Rubik visited this competition?
The Dutch Cube Club (NKC) proudly hosted him in Eindhoven as a guest during these Dutch Cube days. NKC is the oldest Cube club in the world founded in 1981 and still alive!

I shaked hands with Mr Rubik and his lovely daughter and for the first time in my life I had a little talk with him.

He was visiting the Netherlands to meet puzzle & cube collectors and inventors for his Rubik's exhibition opening in March 2010.

[prażeodym]

amazing Mats !!!

 

[GermanCube]

The 2x2 results are really funny - just 0.01 seconds difference between place 1 and place 2 !

 

[SimonWestlund]

Crazy average Mats! Congrats! You're now #2 in the world

Hi,
Did anyone notice Ernö Rubik visited this competition?

SInce he made a public speech today and he was invited to announce the results of the 3^3 top 3 during the winning ceremony too, I guess a lot of people noticed he was there
