Melbourne Winter Open 2010

[megaminxwin]

Perfect, it's on a weekend, and DOESN'T clash with my exams, but it's on a Dad weekend.

I wonder how much pleading it will take?

If I am going, I guess I'll be flying down on Friday afternoon, competing on Saturday, and coming up sometime on Sunday.

what is a faz

An amazing creature who hunts down small sub-15 cubers and makes them look like n00bs.

Are you aware that it's these things (joke or not) that gives people pressure, and make them feel bad, and quit?

I would completely agree with you 99% of the time. However, even though I'm not a huge Faz fanboy like many people on this forum (although I do think Faz is a pretty cool guy and outrageously fast), I must admit that he has proven that he can excel under pressure.

Spoiler

excel = f*ckin pwn

 

[Dene]

Yeah, because I really get sub 7 every 15 solves.

Fortunately you don't have to get sub7 even once. You only have to get sub7.08 three times .

Sweet! I predict that the BLD AuR will be broken this comp.

 

[Luigimamo]

Sweet! I predict that the BLD AuR will be broken this comp.

By whom ?

 

[joey]

Himself, or Faz.

 

[Carrot]

I want to see Australia! =D just bad I'm living on the wrong side of the earth :/

 

[Luigimamo]

Himself, or Faz.

Thought so.

 

[Rubixcubematt]

If Aron came from Adelaide, he would be a good chance.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

I was wondering what you meant by "Winter Open". I realized that it is going to be winter in Australia.

 

[aronpm]

If Aron came from Adelaide, he would be a good chance.

I'm not going. Plus, Faz is too fast anyway.

How's clock going Feliks.

 

[Faz]

Yeah, haven't really practised for ages, and as you may see, I'm not competing in it (I don't have my own clock)>_>

 

[denhil3]

[Zane_C]

02:15pm 4x4x4 Cube Combined Final (1:45)

perhaps a bit of practice is needed.

 

[Tim Major]

Yeah, haven't really practised for ages, and as you may see, I'm not competing in it (I don't have my own clock)>_>

I'm thinking I might not compete now, as my clock is broken, and I don't really enjoy clock. I don't think the schedule's too busy Dene
