Hi everyone.
I'm Nihal. I'm pretty new to the speedcubing community. I joined the forum last year, but wasn't active on it at all.
I've been cubing for about a year or so. I started in June last year, and continued for a while. I had to migrate to Australia, so I stopped cubing after I came here. I've picked it up again, and it's been pretty fun.
I'm in year 11 as of now, and I'm taking VCE. Some of my other interests are basketball, reading, and I also like looking up japanese phrases. Tried to teach myself once, suffice to say it didn't go well. Oh, and I also like watching anime.
anyway, I'll leave it at that!
Nice to meet everyone!

Hi Nihal! There are two competitions coming up!

 

[Aceno20]

Yeah! I saw that on the WCA website. I'll definitely try and come for one of them, if not both!

 

[Dene]

Awesome! We'll see you there

My advice: Get involved! Come up and ask if you can help with judging, and we can teach you and you'll get the opportunity to meet a lot more people that way.

Hello and welcome Nihal

 

[pappas]

wow it's been a while since I've used this forum.
I probably can't come to any comps etc. until after VCE
How often are meetups happening?

Welcome Nihal!
Don't give up on learning Japanese by the way. Teaching yourself is very doable.
日本語を練習すればするほど、自信も出てくるよ

How exactly do I get involved in the judging? Do I just ask the one who's organising if there's anything I can help with?

 

[Tim Major]

Just approach one of the important looking people offering to judge/run, they'll help you out from there

 

[Aceno20]

That seems easy enough.

 

[Dene]

I'll be the one wearing the World Championships shirt with "STAFF" on the back

WEEEEEE I finally got that evasive sub4 on 7x7!!!

Do you mean you're averaging sub 4? Because you have an official 4:00 single so I assumed you'd had sub 4 single before :O

Nice job, what're you averaging for Square-1 by the way? Jayden/Richie are mid 20, Daryl and you are also mid 20? If so, podium gonna be close.

 

[Dene]

Nope, single >.< . That one at Ausnats was a PB.

Not doing square-1. Five solves a week for the weekly comp isn't enough; I'm half forgetting all my algorithms. I'll often hesitate, or forget, or start with one algorithm then finish with a different algorithm >.<

Hey guys, I've missed my cubing hobby . How has everyone been, its been a while since my last post three months ago, has there been any real major changes, records broken? But now I'm back and ready to cube after a year of studying for VCE and today has finally marked my freedom from studying and exams for now!
