Aachen Open 2011

Mats and Cornelius were definitely the stars of this tournament. Coincidence that they are both too young to drink?

 

[CharlieCooper]

Congratulations Corny, great average and single! Feel quite bad Mats didn't get podium after his results over the day! Also very pleased the UK is in the top 3 Go Breandan!

I should have been there. :/

Is Mats' 2x2 on vid?

Of course and my OH ER and first two rounds of 3x3 too. I'll upload them tomorrow.

 

[Shortey]

Cannot wait. :O

 

[joey]

EXCITED.

Mats had another sub10 average in the second round. There was a sub10 average in everyround this way!

Cornelius 7.52 was headlights+PLL-skip. The 18 was was a pop during a U-Perm started at like 8.50. Would have definately been a sub10 solve.

 

[MTGjumper]

I'm pretty confident Cornelius can't do sub 1.5 U perms

It was a truly amazing and awsome competition!

did you know..

..5x5bld german NR before friday was 53:10 by Sébastien, then Cornelius did a 31:49 on his second attempt and then Dennis arrives and does it in 19:29?
..Dennis was really happy and thought he had won the event with this time until we arrived at his house at midnight and checked the live-result-page? (epic facial expression: smile - click - look - jaw-drop
.."damn...wait, that's gotta be a mistake, Istvan isn't that fast..", goes and checks Istvan's WCA page, "hmm, it might just not be mistake...DAMN!!"
..Danish Dynamite Frank got on a bus, showed the driver a piece of paper with this information highlighted:
Aachen Open 2011
Ahornstraße 55
52074 Aachen

the bus-driver nods his head and says the place is on his route. Frank ends up in the Netherlands?
..the bus driver thought 'Aachen Open' actually is a place in the Netherlands?
..it only took me 2.5 years to go from unofficial sub-20avg to official sub-20avg?
..the mystery event was a speedcubing-quiz with 3 people that were picked randomly out of all competitors?
..and each one of them had to pick two team-mates?
..and Erik was picked and he chose Breandan as one of his team-mates?
..and some of the questions related to world records or world champions?

Thanks nonetheless

Lars,

could you please post scramble and your winning solution for FMC?
I really wanted to compete yesterday as it was one of few competitions with FMC on the same day as 3x3x3.
Should have been my first FMC competetion but unfortunately "non-cubing-life" got in between...
