I'm really sorry that I will not be able to come. There is no bus-train connection at Friday night for me. Besides even if I come at Saturday noon, I will need to leave on Sunday afternoon at a very early time, so spending transport and accommodation for over 100 euro for one day is too much for me (and it will take me more than 6 hours for bus-train-bus connection).
So for now I want to find a roommate for Andrew because I have booked a twin room for Friday and Saturday night. If everyone has already booked the accommodation, don't worry Andrew I will give you 30 euro and switch you to a single room which you will still only need to pay 60 euro for two nights.

Ok, so my flight gets into Knock at 13:00, anyone else arriving at the airport around this time?

I did email Blake a few days ago but in the absence of a response, just wanted to say that regrettably I will not be going to Ireland this weekend.

I put my back out about 3 weeks ago and have spent a lot of time since laid flat on my back, it has been on the mend, more so in the last few days but I am only just back driving and really do not feel I could make the trip without a lot of discomfort and possible even competing in longer events such as 6x6 and 7x7 laid on the floor which no one wants to see.

My apologies for this, was really looking forward to the comp and meeting up with everyone. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Just arrived at Knock. Getting the bus in an hour or so. Killing time in irelands third largest airport isn't as easy as I thought it would be as it's the size of a large house

 

[scotzbhoy]

Right, I'm now at the hotel! Yay!
It's very nice.

 

[Cube-Fu]

It sounds like it's going to be a really tight little contest; big shame I can't go.

 

[Tao Yu]

I will be at the hotel at 10pm.

 

[Tao Yu]

I've arrived at the hotel ( at 22:30 pm). Just to let everyone know, not that I think anyone here is awake....

Anything else cool happen?

Joey messed up on a magic solve, tried to fix it for 3 minutes then stopped the timer..... in the starting position..
Probably more cool stuff but I didn't watch some of the events

Anyway, my results :
3.18 2x2 avg (2.34, 2.66, 3.61, 3.65,3.27), and I won with a 3.65 avg(4.09, 4.31, 3.78, 3.00, 2.65).
Tied 40th in the world and 3rd in China

4x4 50.86 and 54.xx singles with a 1:02 avg or something

Pyraminx 8.23 avg (PB)

FMC is still going on but I didn't want to do it.

 

[Selkie]

That is an awesome result Dan, congratulations! :tu

So I messed up the last 2 cubes. 2nd last I think I undid a set up move the wrong way. Last cube I was nervous and the cube was rubbish so I popped mid alg. I replaced the edge correctly but didn't manage to restart from the right place in the alg. Haven't quite decided whether I'm happy or not

We had extra time today so added fmc. I got 28 with about 4 niss swaps.

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Dammit Daniel, now I'm even less likely to catch you (not that I ever had a chance). Good job man, just a shame about those last 2 cubes.

 

[kinch2002]

1st attempt at 4bld was lolDNF. Couldn't remember the second half of my corners audioloop so gave up with 4 corners solved. Will do another attempt later
