      Idea: Alternating 1 Year event

      At Euro 2018 I pitched this idea to a few people and now it is time to do the same on the forum. The general idea is that instead of having events that we continue to do "for eternity", we add 1 "Event of the year" that will be a different puzzle every year. So for example for 2019 it would be...

      1 AvG competition 2013

      I have something quite exciting to announce. After going to more than 100 competitions it is finally time to organise my own competition. It took a while to find a location that would be available but I finally found 1 in Delft. So I would like to invite all of you (well, 40 is about the...

      Test your scrambling

      Rules are simple: * Generate an official scramble for any event (so no Magics!) * Optional: Inspect the scramble (15 seconds max, duh) * Time how long it takes you to perform the scramble AND the inverse scramble * If you don't end with a solved puzzle it is a DNF * Scrambling is done on the...

      Cachan, officialy beating the scramble for Square1

      (3,0) (-3,6) (0,1) (0,3) (3,0) (0,3) (0,5) (0,3) (0,3) (6,4) (6,5) (5,1) (0,3) (4,2) (6,4) (0,2) (-4,4) (0,0) This was scramble 3 of group 2 in round 1. Good luck finding a solution that is (way) shorter than the scramble

      Who has dominated an event the most in all of WCA history?

      At first I thought it would be Macky in the past, Felix in the current, than I saw http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/events.php?eventId=333bf&regionId=&years=&show=100%2BResults&single=Single and I am pretty sure that this has never happened before But what about making a list of...

      3x3x3 Blind, changing to 3/5?

      For almost all events (if time allows it) the preferred format is now 3/5 (remove best and worst, average of the remaining 3 solves) In 2009 the rules for multi-blind were changed to allow for DNF's (although the basic idea is still to stimulate perfection over speed) Regular blindfolded...

      All current (new) scramblers from the WCA are used. For all 3x3x3 events (including FMC) Cube Explorer was used to generate a random position and provide an inverse scramble (generator) for that position. For all cubes > 3x3x3 (mediumcubes) a "w" means "Wide" so you turn not just the slice...

      As many of you know, I have been travelling all around Europe for cubing tournaments for the last 4 years. It has been an amazing time and it has greatly changed my life.
