..I still think cubing whilst judging should be against regulations.

That is all.

I couldn't agree more. That and people shouldn't practice on comp timers next to BLD competitors. I had to silently move 3 people away at the tail end of MBLD whilst judging.

Omg don't get me started about ppl being quiet during BLD.

I second this, during OH this was really distracting. During 5x5 I didn't really care but yeah I think we should ask the competitor's permission at least first

There is some protection against it in the regs as it could be classed as a distraction/interference to the competitor. If it happens to anyone, you may stop mid-solve and let me know. I will award an extra attempt.

At the next comp I will announce at the start that judges should not do this (if I remember or if someone could kindly remind me to)

EDIT: Also, please could people make complaints to me during comps rather than after? At least then I can do something about it at the time.

In case it got buried among the other post-comp posts, I've still got a carrier bag with two panshis and a modded white shengshou, very rounded centre pieces, missing one inner edge bit and the two thin pieces which hold that bit to the core. I've assembled it, it's ****. Any claimants?

Not me. But did you get my PM about my cubes I left there?

We should have guessed. Too obvious

Yes I did, sorry not to have responded and sorry but I haven't sent them yet, it's been a really manic week for me. Will ship them at the weekend.

Guildford it is.

I'm assuming this is the UK Cambridge, yeah?

Is there any student that is currently studying the MEng/E course? This one
Today I started writing my personal statement, got my first 200 words together, which sadly sound kinda pretentious :/.
When I am completly finished can I send it to someone to look over it?
I would highly appreciate it

P.S. The college I think I'll apply for is Emmanuel. Anything wrong about that decision?

 

[TheOneOnTheLeft]

I don't do engineering, but I will say all personal statements sound a little bit pretentious, and that allegedly Cambridge doesn't put too much weight on your personal statement - they'll focus more on your interview and your SAQ (and the TSA for engineering). Emmanuel is a nice college, really cheap bar, close to the town centre, and right opposite Wetherspoons (if you don't have them in Germany, that's a cheap pub chain).

I can look at your statement if you want, but I can't say I'll necessarily be much help. People on the student room will look over it for you - they might be more help, but I don't know for sure.

Feel free to send it to me, I personally did not apply to Oxford or Cambridge but I know roughly 30 people at Cambridge so I know the sort of things they are looking for. Just big yourself up as much as you can, pretentious is good! College choice doesn't matter too much but make sure you look at it well and make sure you are pleased with your choice.

My Brother did MEng at Cambridge. I can pass it on if you want him to have a look and he'll be able to comment on Emmanuel too.
