Great competition. Thanks again to everyone involved in organising it and running it.

Back home after the UK Championships. This may have been my favourite competition to date. Here's a bit of a recap for those interested. Friday 3x3 FMC - My first attempt to get a FMC Mean. I got a 45 in both the first and second solve using regular CFOP (PLL skip in the 2nd.) 3rd solve I ran...

Yes, indeed it’s UK Championships imminently and I’ve already arrived, having a practice session with a bottle of ale. My main hopes of a PB are in FMC and Clock. Will see if I can do so. Have done a fair bit of 3x3 practice whilst learning extra OLL cases (53/57 in the bag now) but not...

@NewbieCuber well done, keep going and I'm sure you'll get a sub-30 single soon enough. PB singles of about 60% of an average are quite possible with a lucky skip.

Brilliant stuff @mark49152. Happy for you mate.

I suspect much of the lawsuit is as for safety reasons, Rubik Brand may feel they must provide child-safe toys that do not "pop." The popularity of foreign speedcubes is creating something of an uneven playing field for their original IP. Whether or not this is Cubicle's problem is another matter.

@mafergut - yes indeed, there is a double-X-cross that I didn't want to risk - would have been something like x2 D2 F L' U L y U' F2 U' F' U R2 although there's probably better ways of achieving the same thing. Interestingly this can also set up a double-insert for the 3rd and 4th pairs. Hope...

Very impressive Mark. First time you'd have had a non-DNF at 60 minutes? Well done indeed.
