    Opening Speedstacks Display?

    Changing Multi BLD format?

    There is some discussion going on between the delegates about changing multi bld format, lowering the limit (which is 60 min today). What is your opinion about this? Should the format be changed from 60 min max to a lower time? If so, what would be a good limit? Please vote.

    Speedstacks display interfering with timers?

    I'm posting here to see if someone else experienced something similar. At Oficina Open we had many timer issues, with 0.05, 0.21, 0.34, etc. The problems seemed to disappear after we disconnected the displays from the timers... At Agulhas Negras Open, for logistical reasons, no displays...

    Idea for better blindfolds

    I've seen Stefan post this somewhere else, but couldn't find it here. The idea is quite simple: just tape a sheet of paper to your blindfold. It will cover you vision down to your neck, so there's no need for the judge to hold a paper. Video showing it:

    How to assemble penguin 2x2 from popbuying?

    I got one for my girlfriend, and it came apart. From what I could see (I was driving, so it wasn't much), it has some clear-plastic pieces on the inside, something that looks like a core and a piece attached to it (with a screw). Doesn't seem to have springs. I don't have it right now, but if...

    Square-1 scramble "trainer"

    Well, you probably know that square-1 is the biggest problem when it comes to scrambling in competitions... pretty much everyone who can scramble it decently is competing, so unless you have Bob to scramble, you can get some trouble... I made a simple program to invert a scramble, so you...
