It definitely wasn't seen as a joke or not being taken seriously. It was limited to the Chinese cubing community, so the cubing community outside of China didn't really notice much about it, but in China the CCA has caused quite some problems for the WCA organisers there, including threats and...

Cities where Euros have been held so far are: Amsterdam, Paris, Bilbao, Budapest, Wroclaw and Roskilde. I don't know what you mean by 'obscure'. but none of these cites are obscure by any standard. anyway, I've always wanted to visit Prague so I might very well use this as an excuse to go.

I'm not making any promises, but I will be based in Florence from September - December 2016, so depending on whether I have time to do it, I might be able to organise a comp when I'm there.

It's easier to file a dispute. You'll get your money back from paypal and paypal will take care of chasing him for the money.

Of course you don't have to provide your own timer. In fact, rather not. If everybody uses their own timers for official solves, what guarantee is there that all those timers are uniform and not tampered with. I'm not an expert on this, but I assume that it's possible to manipulate the timer in...

You're right. 35 years. That'll give us about 5 * 10^18 permutations that have appeared since 1980. A bit more than 10%.

Just to show what a huge number 43 quintillion is: The Rubik's cube came on the market in 1980, so it's been around for 25 years. Suppose that at the moment it came on the market, every person in the world got one and since then everybody has been turning the cube with 1 turn per second...

I don't want to add any WCA event, because they already are WCA events. Or did you mean to ask what non-WCA event I would like to see added as an official WCA event?

What he should have done is involve the delegate. The question is whether he knew who the delegate was? The delegate, especially in Europe, is not always clearly introduced at the competition so if you don't know how the delegate looks like, it could be hard to find him. anyway, I've watched...

Ao5 3x3: With inspection: 28.06 No inspection: 33.23

Is it really a good idea to 'honour' Telesforo by naming an award after him, even if it isn't the most flattering one?

I guess it will be hosted by whoever creates a new thread called "Forum Awards 2014".

Due to some people pulling out of the competition, I now have 6 more full-residential places from this competition. These include overnight accommodation for 2 nights and all meals. If you want one of these places, the best way to secure your place is to register on...

The full residential option is no longer available as all beds are now taken. You can still register as a non-residential competitor.

Sorry if this has already been done (I searched for it, but couldn't find). anyway, I received a registration for Eat Sleep Cube Repeat today from someone who last competed in 2009. So I'd like to know what the longest time between 2 competitions is for a competitor. Thanks.

I'm always intrigued by people who turn up at some competition, set a world record and then disappear forever. I know Mike Godfrey was one of them. Are there any others?

Actually, Dutch spelling/pronunciation is pretty straightforward. You pronounce every letter that is written and write every letter you hear.
