Nottingham University Comp. May 4th-5th

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Well done guys, some interesting results for me to read . Good job especially on all the NRs, Ollie's bigBLDs, and the people who didn't fail MBLD (get yourself together Ollie damnit you noob). Also well done to Spef for getting pretty good at bigcubes, but what happened on 3x3? I thought you would destroy my official average.

Looking forward to Cambridge, comps are a lot more fun if you have the free time to actually go to them.

You're not the only one who expected that either XD
3x3 can go away :<

At least 3x3 is pretty much guaranteed to be at every comp, so it shouldn't be long before I start doing well at it in comp :b
