I'm excited

 

[Kian]

Edit: No big cubes is definitely is a turnoff for me. It's also a week after DC so I'm not sure yet about this one.

 

[masterofthebass]

this competition came in a time machine from caltech in 2005. Except add some magic in there.

 

[blah]

Except Macky won't be there.

 

[StachuK1992]

Good chance I'll be there. Must sub20 3x3 and sub5 BLD.

 

[fanwuq]

Except Macky won't be there.

Did you ask him? Princeton isn't that far away from Drexel. Could probably convince him to come.

 

[puzzlemaster]

i wish there were more events though.

True, but Nantes is pretty far away from Drexel.

I won't be able to make this one, oh well.

Oh, forgot that he's leaving for the spring semester.

I'll probably come to this one instead of DC. I was going to get a group together from school, but it wasn't possible to register everyone on time for DC.


Edit:
Would it be possible to add 4x4x4 or FMC? They would be very nice to have, but I'll probably attend anyway.

 

[puzzlemaster]

I'd like FMC or something...there's like 3 hours for the first round of 3x3. I'm assuming that that includes time for lunch though.

Indeed. The competition has so little events; I'm sure we could fit in something else.

Learn2few.

Anywho, I'm thinking I'm going to go, despite the lack of events. 4x4 and 5x5 would be wonderful, and it certainly seems possible given how much extra time we are certainly going to have with that schedule. I normally wouldn't go without more events but I'll be meeting someone in Philly anyway, so it seems silly to not compete while I'm there.

Would anyone be interested in doing a team double-BLD mystery event?

Teams would consist of one person in Chicago and one person at Drexel. Person A is given a cube and a phone. Person B is blindfolded and given a cube with the same scramble and a cell phone. B puts their hands on the timer and follows A's instructions.

If there's sufficient bandwidth, we could just do a regular Team BLD with separated teams.

While the phone choice seems like it would be extraordinarily difficult (seems like not being able to tell if the solver made an incorrect move would doom it, most likely), I would certainly be willing to try.

Also, I'm always down for regular team BLD, it's a whole lot of fun.

Yes. If I go, who wants to be my partner in Chicago?

 

[nlCuber22]

Not sure if I can make both this and DC. Hopefully.

It's only difficult if you mess up But that's why it's Team Double-BLD!

 

[StachuK1992]

I'll be there. Just registered. Be prepared for sub4 OHITA Magic pwnage.

 

[puzzlemaster]

haha i'm hoping for a sub 4.5 average for 2x2

 

[Owen]

I might go, but I wish there was pyraminx and 5x5.
