Hi All,

This is just a heads up to any speedcubers in the area that might not have known about this competition.

I don't think it's a WCA competition, and 3x3 will most likely be the only event on the day.

It's primarily a promotional event at the Australian Games Expo, but if you fancy flying to Canberra to pick yourself up $1000 for your 10 second efforts... go for it

Happy cubing,
Tim.

I'm sure Feliks will love that $1000.

I wonder how Faz will spend the money.

 

[Muesli]

I wonder how Faz would spend the--

Damn. Beaten.

 

[Zubon]

Faz!

Go there!

You will win and the prize money will cover your airfare.
You might even get in the news again.

 

[Inf3rn0]

Enjoy the money Faz!

 

[iSpinz]

Faz is overrated....

 

[Inf3rn0]

Faz is overrated....

Im sure if he goes he will win the money though.

 

[blade740]

Why not call them and ask if they're willing to bring in a delegate to make it official?

duh

 

[Meep]

Faz is overrated....

And crazy fast.

 

[Faz]

Win. I'll probably be going, just for the prize money. I wonder if they give us brand new cubes, or even the same scramble.

I'll give them an email regarding the single/a5 thing. Doesn't seem to have information on that.

I suppose you are entitled to your opinion, but Faz will be taking the $1,000.

Those all pose as big problems, however, I'm sure seeing as $1000 is the prize money, they would have thought it out, and done some research.

I wonder if they give us brand new cubes, or even the same scramble.

That might be a problem though. I hope for people going's sake, that nobody enters, who can't solve it. Or solves it in 20 minutes. If they are brand new Rubik's brand cubes, they don't use the same scramble, (and if they're stupid and don't give inspection) Faz might not win. But he probably would.

Edit:

Also LOLWIN:

To help us with the running of the championship, could you please give us an idea of how quickly you can solve the cube:
about mins
[We won't tell any other contestants, it just helps us with organisation].

Fail.

 

[IamWEB]

Why wouldn't he with those cubes? Unless you're saying if other speedcubers went that aren't as fast normally...

 

[Thomas09]

Damn, I guess there is no hope if Faz goes to the comp. Tim! Hold him down while I get the money!

Nah, Faz, use that $1000 wisely if you go.

 

[Faz]

Yeah, I just realised that if I have these disadvantages, then so will everyone else.

 

[Tim Major]

Why wouldn't he with those cubes? Unless you're saying if other speedcubers went that aren't as fast normally...

Matt Wangstall (probably won't go), Or Joshua Li (probably won't go) average sub 15, and when you're using brand new Rubik's cubes, you can't really do fingertricks, and Matt and Joshua's problem, is that they don't manage to turn as fast as Feliks, and still have little to no pauses at the same time. With a storebought, someone averaging 20 with Petrus would even be better, as you would use way fewer moves.

STill, faz will probably win, as the other two probably won't go.

 

[Faz]

Josh will be in Hong Kong, and Matt is on a camp.

EDIT: Oh no! Chris Chan! John Phung!

Owait, they don't cube anymore.
