With spelling and grammar like that? You'll be lucky :)

Only joking. Unfortunately for your good self I already promised the QJ4 to Pete (cookingfat). I'd expect there to be some other spare puzzles around (unless people are travelling light). What 4x4x4 do you have at the moment and what is broke about it? I may have the spare parts you need. If that doesn't work out then you might have spare parts that I need :D

Aargh! That's a bad break: I don't have any ES4 parts. Perhaps something can be done about it though. Bring it along and see what the collective knowledge of 80+ speedcubers has to offer!

And for everybody travelling to the competition - keep safe - see you all tomorrow.
 
oh I have ES parts because I have an ES that is broken, i.e. a corner and edge are buggered. You can buy that from me if you like!

And yes, the 4x4 and 5x5 thing is really annoying, I stopped practising when I noticed.

I'll bring a couple of eastsheens you can buy one if you want.
 
Competition is over :p

Did you know:

- All cubers are really nice guys (and gals) :)
- I somehow won OH with a 28.xx average, which Rowan was not happy about.
- ... and then subsequently lost my mini DS which I used?
- Chris didn't get his elusive sub-50 4x4 average, but I failed even more?
- Ben got a very quick and very, very lucky 2x2 average, breaking both NRs? Rowan also did quite well?
- I was 2nd in the first round of 3x3, 2nd in the 2nd round, and then 5th in the final?
- The spectators' reactions to any sub-13 solve were really funny?
- Charlie is really nice for letting me borrow her 5x5, which instantly knocked about ten seconds off my average despite not practising since June?
- Chris is also really nice for letting me borrow his mini qj, which I did OK with in warm-up, but failed with in the real thing?
- Martin is really good at 360?
- Charlie no longer has to buy a touch-cube?
- Patrick Kelly has an American accent, which probably isn't as noticeable in America? But he's still really nice? :)
- The competition was really well run which Dan deserves a lot of credit for?
- The competition was really good in general?
- I fail at executing any square-1 algs blindfolded.
- Dan confirmed it will be two days next year with more events?

Also, quick shout-out: if anyone has accidentally picked up my mini ds (the paint is really worn off) could you please give it to me at Bristol Open, or sooner if possible? :)
 
Did you know,

-I should have entered more events?
-I was peeing myself before my first solve?
-Breandan is just too fast?
-My Storebought is apparantly awesome?
-Breandan guessed that it was a type C?
-Michael brought his wonder-box 'o' puzzles?
-I consequently failed miserably at the Clock?
-I think Adam was getting annoyed at me constantly scrambling the Magic?
-I was complemented on my H-perm by a judge? :D
-The Morph-egg makes me want to cry?
-As does the Siamese cube?
-And James' F2L bandaged cube?
-I lost my Timer, only to find it again, only to leave it in Pete's car?
-I got a free DS Rubik's Cube game?
-That it has the WORST music in the world?
-You can't do wide layer turns on it?
-Other than that it isn't all that bad?
-The chips where yummy!?
-I had 4 J-Perms in an average of 5?
-There should have been more people doing the 360?

Was awesome.
 
Did you know:

- The competition was so awesome?
- I had no sub 20 solves in practise but somehow got a sub 20 average when I competed?
- My V-cube 5 was really crappy yesterday, so I polished it and it is brilliant now?
- I got a 1:21 on 4x4 (good for me)?
- I am very slow at 4x4
- Agassi Yiu (spelling and corrent name?) won 4x4, and was trying to be entertaining in the 3x3 final?
- I won 2x2?
- With a 4.09 average?
- Which means im 21st in the world?
- I broke the 2x2 NR single twice (previous record was 3.03, then I got 2.61, then in the final, 2.27)?
- I got every single solve I did on video, except for the 2.27 2x2 solve?
- Charlie Cooper won a touch cube?
- I was 7th in 5x5 first round, but I became 10th a bit later...
- ...because 9 people were missed off the list of results?
- A chinese person messed up my super magic?
- My dad solved a 2x2 in 50 seconds (he didnt compete though)?
- Breandan did a 9.91 solve in 3x3 final?
- The crowds reaction was so funny?
- I got a 14 second solve on 3x3 (OLL skip) but I normally average 18?
- My first solve in the competition was the 2x2 NR?
- I cant think of anything else to say?

Just wanna say that the previous 2x2 single NR was non-lucky! I think both the 2.xx were LL skips!

Would that be the one held by yourself by any chance? :rolleyes:

You say he was 'lucky', just maybe he can see certain solves that will result in LL skips as I know I can. There's hardly a lot of moves involved in the 2x2 solution

Didn't everyone have the same scrambles too, sounds a little like sour grapes to me. Show a little humility and generosity

Well done Ben1996123 :D
 
I know a lot of people were filming things, did anyone happen to get any part of my 13s solve on camera? please please please let me know if you did! :D
 
Did you know -

- The competition went really smoothly and was awesome?
- Dan Harris deserved his Touch Cube he got?
- The school kids that came were really nice and helped a lot?
- Lots of people bought a souvenier 'Manchester United' Rubik's cube
- Everyone elses cubes are better than your own?
- The morph egg is annoying but addictive?
- Breandon solved a cube faster than I did the last layer?
- Simon Crawford's mum is good at juggling?
- But not as good as Simon?
- Martin Berger is a very sweet old man?
- Martin Smith is awesome at Rubik's 360?
- And won a gold medal with a time of 37.02?
- It was quite noisy during BLD?
- Patrick Kelly is also nice?
- And so was everyone really?
- I did beat James at 4x4?
- But James beat me on 5x5 by less than 1 second?
- Michael's beard has returned?
- Martin Smith called the cube covers 'hidey pots' which I found very funny?
- His storebought cube is indeed 'Awesome' and no one could guess it was a storebought?
- I wrote awesome too many times in this post and don't really ever say it out loud?

Awesome day everyone.
