[AvGalen]

Does favorite mean you like him the most, want him to win, or expect him to win?

If Tyson expects Lars Petrus to win everything I think I finally found something that I dare to bet him (I'll even give 1/1000 odds, but a minimum bet of 10 Euro is required)

And why doesn't anyone think Per/Mirek/Zbigniew will win FMC? They are the real experts in my book. I still can't make skeletons, control edge-orientation and have troubles with corners. The only reason I get good/short solutions is because I have good starts and can experiment (get lucky) during the rest of the hour. I like being called a favorite, but don't think I deserve it (yet)

 

[Erik]

But...but...you solved the whole cube in 15 moves... only those 2 corners resisted a bit.... you pwn!

 

[Doudou]

2x2 : Erik
3x3 : Erik
4x4 : Erik
5x5 : Edouard (I'm sorry Erik... But I can not let you win this one...)

 

[AvGalen]

But...but...I didn't write down those 15 moves and couldn't find them again... the entire cube resisted a lot... I suck!

[joey]
