Bristol Spring 2010

I'm well up for a teraminx head-to-head too! Having said that, I've had mine for about a week and have only done one solve, which was ~2 hours (not in one sitting). Maybe we won't have time...

Chris

I wasn't initially planning on bringing my tera as it is a little bulky and heavy. I have done 2 solves (first was 2 hour 12 mins) and the layers were definitely catching less the second time around (didn't time it though) so I think I'd be around 1:40 next time. Given that I'm doing every event except magics (doing 4x4x4bld during that) I won't have any time to race unfotunately. Shame

I'm doing a fair few events too. Hmm, it still hasn't arrived, (Thursday), so I will probably be doing my virgin solve on it lol, if it comes at all.

Chris - as you are easily 2-3x faster tham me on Megaminx, I think you should have a OH effort? :p
 
Mike: you need to drive me to my digs too! (only 5mins away)
THX

No problem Joey - at your service!

I look forward to watching you navigate that one around the one way system ;) I strongly advise Mike to look on googlemaps first!
Everything looks a bit more manageable now that I've tidied, phew.

Good work Charlie - I'm OK with directions as long as my sat-nav can cope -- I remember the trouble it had with the magic roundabout in Swindon last year!

EDIT: Joey, you seem to have misinterpreted those 3 people on WCA

@ car people: what time are you expecting being picked up? From PMing Michael, it seems I might be picked up ~4.00 ish (I think :p). That might mean we get to Sheffield at just after 5.00, maybe? Does that suit you, Rowan?

Also, other stuff:

- Shower wise and stuff, my towel that I left at your place is OK to use, right Charlie?
- Do you want me to bring food or other provisions as some form of payment? :)

Yes your towel is here and I even washed it after you left last time. I like to provide a laundry service, I did the same for Olivér ;) I even delivered that to him in the Netherlands!

For those staying at mine it goes without saying that you are all welcome to use the shower etc. I have a few spare clean towels (small mainly) you can use if you are short on space. Also you can use my shower gel/shampoo/toothpaste if you don't want to pack yours, I have plenty. Food provision wise I have cookies, crisps, a few cereals, a LOT of bread, ham/cheese/tomatoes/salad for sandwich making for Saturday. Drinks too. If anybody wishes to contribute to this, go ahead and bring stuff. Saturday night I guess we'll all eat somewhere together (not having all 40 round for dinner ;)), but Sunday maybe can cook here if we aren't too numerous.

CHARLIE LOVES MINI EGGS MORE THAN ANY OTHER ITEM OF CONFECTIONERY.

Am I right in saying that we're fending for ourselves for Saturday lunch, and getting pizza in on Sunday?

Yeah I think that's the situation. Need to find that 50% voucher I have been hiding since the last comp so we can have cheap pizza :D I will just make a small map now to a subway, but there are like kebab places nearby and stuff. If you walk briskly and don't have under 30 minutes for lunch, you could easily get to the centre and the supermarket.
 
How many will be advancing to various finals? The standard is quite high this time round (in no small part to having people like Rob and Erik, oh and Rowan :))

At least 5 but where possible, n-1. For 3x3 most people will have three rounds for example. I will judge it on each round because I don't like the ultra strict 5 people going through. If letting six through means that all those people got sub 30 averages for instance, and the 7th person is nowhere near that, I prefer it.
 
Im going to be posh and bring some smoked salmon sandwiches
lol

Not in my car. :p

LOL
btw do yo have a sat nav?

Just joking mate. Anything you like - just not prawns. I look like Hitch otherwise.

I do mate. I programmed it earlier on, and going via yours adds just 2miles on to the journey. Car is fully fuelled, with some Redex (to improve fuel economy) spare wheel pumped up, air compressor and torch packed. I even bought a nice new air freshener lol.
