Hillsdale Winter 2012

[AJ Blair]

So it tuns out me and Chris Braiedy had a miscommunication...we are going to the Colorado Springs competition. Guess you can take me off the list.

Sweet! Us Colorado cubers are cooler anyway!

I just bought tickets to fly out to Michigan on the Thursday before the competition, see you guys that Saturday!

I can't come anymore. My dad said its either this or nationals in Vegas.

I think my dad just wants an excuse to mess around with friends in Vegas for 5 days.

Hi! I'm new to cubing!

hello all im kingtim96, my real name is Trevor and i love to cube! i just made my account and have a couple question about the hillsdale winter 2012. i began cubing a couple months ago and started learning fridrich method about one week ago. my average of 10 using fridrich is 00.57.74 and my pb is oddly 34.71
i was wondering whether or not i should go to the competition to compete or not even though im not as skilled as everyone else is. the main reason i'd go is to have fun and meet new people. anyone have an opinion on what i should do? more than one answer would be nice. btw i live in Lansing.

Just go. Its always fun and besides, speed is not needed to have fun.

yeah i guess so but i dont wanna be embarassed by everyone else that could solve 5 cubes in the time it takes me to solve 1. but i understand what you're saying.

Fast cubers aren't gonna make fun of you because you're not as fast. Competitions are all about the fun. Just try your best.

Blake: Go to WCA nao. Anthony is organizing a Michigan comp
Me: yeeeeee

damn you croobs. You stole my language and suck at speaking it

 

[Yuxuibbs]

Asking again, anyone selling cubes?

My "boyfriend" is going and he averages over a minute. The main point of the competition is to meet other cubers and have fun, not as much compete unless you average around 10 sec.

Two questions:

-Are the numbers for the amount of people advancing to the final rounds still the same? 12 go on to the second, 8 to the final? Or are you still in the process of finalizing everything?
-I may show up late (9:45) because I'm not doing BLD. Will I still be able to register then?

Thanks.

"Yeeeeeee" is a word in aerobic? And Ben encourages me to speak aerobic.

 

[KingTim96]

yes i have a rubik's icon (lubricated) and a standard rubik's 4x4 im looking to get rid of. i know these arent standards speed cubes but i dont need them so if you want them i'll sell or trade them to you for a reasonable price.

btw i just registered!! im doing the 3x3 and the 2x2. now all i need to do is buy a 2x2. haha.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

I want to get rid of my eastsheen 4x4 (lubed). Looking for a stickerless dayan cube.

Tip: Nobody wants eastsheen cubes anymore. I learned this the hard way when I tried selling my eastsheen 2x2 and 4x4s in a comp almost 2 years ago (even back then they didn't want them, let alone right now). I resorted to selling them for 2 dollars, then 1, then for FREE. Nobody took. Then someone popped the 2x2, then I went up to them, gathered the pieces while they were saying sorry, and simply threw them away. I also threw away the 4x4 later.


If you want to get rid of it, just throw it away, but always make sure you have a back-up puzzle for every puzzle, just in case. In my case, my back up for my SSv3 is my x-cube, then maru, the mini qj, etc.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

I don't really practice big cubes. I am waiting for my SSv3.

Anyone want a lightly used, almost solved QJ super square 1?

 

[KingTim96]

anyone know of a thread specifically used for selling/buying/trading used cubes? i have one that needs to go.

If we can work out a price instead of a trade i'll honestly take your eastsheen 4x4 because my rubik's 4x4 just doesnt fit for me. so let me know if you would want $$ instead of a cube. keep in mind that eastsheen's cubes arent really popular anymore so a reasonable price would be cool. thanks.

I just changed it to 16 in the second rounds.

Yep, no problem. Just be sure not to miss any events that you want to compete in.

 

[insane569]

I am thinking about going now but on the website it says I need to have a valid passport if I am representing another country. I don't have one.

I always wanted to ask this: Why do you represent Mexico? Are you an exchange student or something?
