Figured out the entire solution to the last part (solved cube -> "millisecond scramble" -> matching Teller's cube), based on the exact way it's done in the video, not some Cube Explorer solution. Haven't seen anyone post it yet.

Results are up.

Here's a solution that's both "efficient" and "mathematical." Label the n pieces by any n primes you like: p_1,\ldots,p_n. Let M=\prod_{i=1}^np_i=p_1\times p_2\times\cdots\times p_n and memorize it. When you extend your memorization string by the nth piece, redefine M to be M/p_n. When you've...

There's no need to actively count pieces if you design a memo system that does it for you for free. What do I mean by this? Consider this analogy: if I told you my credit card number is 39549272037311, you'd have to count to realize that that can't be right because it only has 14 digits. Even...

Yes. Unfortunately, there were issues concerning the venue that could not be resolved. So why don't you organize one? There's never going to be a competition if everyone's just waiting for someone else to organize one. Read this if you're interested.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this competition is canceled until further notice.

Just wanted to put this out here: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?9122-Carolina-Speedcubing&p=960789&viewfull=1#post960789.

I realize this thread's been dead for a while, but I'll say a little something in an attempt to revive the cubing community in the Carolinas. I'll start with a little blurb about myself (presumably most cubers today don't know who I am). The KOII (Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois) cubers are...

I remember you being 30+ seconds at your first competition. What is this I don't even...

Are kids these days too young to know what Hug Hey is anymore? :(

You guys are obviously forgetting the most important person to hug and say hey to...

To reinforce the point being made here, 2x2x2 was the only event for which I needed help with data entry. Thanks to Kevin Zhou for helping me out there. (I had help for some other events, but unlike for 2x2x2, I didn't feel like I would've died without the help.) Before the competition, Tim told...

anyone still in the hotel right now?
