I'll be joining people at McDonalds Friday night then, just need to figure out what to do the rest of Friday since I arrive there early. What are other people doing? Any setting up etc. to help with?

I have a black mini type something 3x3 (Puzl baby speedcube), a Rubik's 4x4 (re-tooled I think) and a chinaminx I can bring if anyone wants to buy them (not sure why you would want a chinaminx though). Might sell my white Meffert's 4x4 too if someone really wants it. If nobody expresses any interest I probably won't bring them.

by the way i need a 4x4 cause my dayan is highly nlikely to be herr seeing as its stilll prossesing in hongkong post since the 26th of october so if anyone has a weel broken in 4x4 that isnt rubiks eaastsheen or qj can i use/buy it?

 

[blakedacuber]

If you want my white Meffert's 4x4 it's yours (unless you find someone selling a different 4x4 you want), about £12 I reckon.

How much for the Mini C?
I've wanted one since the last comp! D:

Ah, so it's a type C (I had no idea, they didn't tell me). It's barely used and I bought it for £9+shipping, so £10 maybe?

I might be able to haggle a little.

If you cant find anything better for the competition You can borrow my white maru 4x4 for the whole competition

 

[blakedacuber]

Yesss thanks

 

[Zyrb]

[blakedacuber]

If this deal falls through, I might be interested.

As long as your not in my round, anyone can use any of my cubes. I have pink instead of orange and light green instead of standard green though. On all puzzles.

With regards to meeting on Friday night I suggest you acquire my number if you are staying at mine, and if you are somebody who isn't staying at mine but wishes to join in on ordering pizza to my place/going to McDonald's that you acquire the number of somebody already in my company. Might get a bit manic if I am coordinating everybody's movements! Bring some cash with you in the case that we do order pizza, as there is no cash point that close to mine.

With regards to scrambling and judging over the weekend, I know that most of you do help out where necessary, but there will be consequences for any slackers (rahhh)! Really is important for everybody to muck in, especially as there are quite a lot of new competitors that won't be used to the format and could slow things down. The schedule is tight in places and there is less flexibility at this venue about overrunning, so really need all hands on deck I wil provide cookies to those that help the most

Also, I have a map of how to get to my flat for anybody that needs or wants it for the weekend. PM me if you need this/my phone number.

 

[Zyrb]

I want a cookie!! but it will be my first competition...

 

[James Ludlow]

I wil provide cookies to those that help the most

I'll do it all by myself.

You got the YJ still?

I have two - neither of which I like. Yours for a bargain.

 

[blakedacuber]

I love scrambling 2x2 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5
I also love cookies
Btw for pyraminx what way do you orient the cube before scrambling?

btw does anyone have any fun but challenging puzzls they are gunna sell?

 

[Zyrb]

Even though it's my first competition, I would be able to scramble 2x2 and 3x3 if I am aloud to.

Charlie, what time will things (pizza and whatever) be happening on Friday night?
