Indeed.
It was a very funny read by the way, but I probably shouldn't find it funny.

Now, I'm not sure whether Adam needed the hospital because of his minor inebriation or acute nicotine poisoning.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I swear about 2-3 hours before he said "I didn't buy health insurance"
Is he fine now?
DYK Edit:
-The coin machines in Tesco accept a 2 Krone coin as 10p
-2 Krone is worth 21p :/

Neither of those. And he'll be fine. People can talk to him themselves for details

-The security people at the airport wanted to see what's inside my suitcase and that they were really impressed by the cubes
-It was really difficult to find the right train to Roskilde
-I found out at the airport that they sell beer at Burger King (sadly it was 10:00 AM
)
-The venue was hard to find
-Preparing the venue was exhausting but fun
-My roommates at the Hostel didn't recognise me at first and asked how I came inside
-My official times sucked for the most part
-I broke my nl 3x3 single PB while waiting/failing in the Skewb final
-and then afterwards got a 8.67 3x3 Single(PB)
-Daniel trained clock in the middle of the crowd after the Megaminx WR
-Sunday night was great(except for the end
)
-It's called Streichholzschächtelchen

DYK...
the competition was run beautifully and all the organisers and staff should be extremely proud that they've set the bar so high?
this is not my 1st DYKs but was my 1st competition abroad?
these took a very long time to write because so many awesome things happened, my brain isn't quite right again yet and I only got 12 hours sleep over 5 night and an extra 5 hours since I've been back?
I want to write more but should go get some more rest?
Thanks for a fantastic competition to everyone who was a part of it.
Special thanks go out to Daniel and Ollie.

Ollie got a 4BLD solve on his only attempt, a few seconds from his WR, on a brand new SS, in low lighting, after beer, at my house, the night before we left?
After a lot of rearranging we finally got Daniel's luggage light enough to check?
Daniel and I ate BK while everyone else went to McDs next door?
they don't class as fast food but at least they don't pour 2 full drinks on your compatriots?
we need to get Yau out of these clothes?
Dan everything?
no drinking in school?
running around everywhere trying to find a toilet to clean up my spillage?
found secret toilet in the process?
Gregor ≠ Grzegorz?
might be soon enough?
dragon?
SMAG!?
above Sarah for MBLD and 5x5 single now?
I went for 3 instead of 6 because we had to find our own judge?
Zak ended up judging for 80 mins cos he was finished judging so soon?
all my other results were terrible but that's not why I go to comps?
Noah is rubbish at MBLD? I'm glad he was OK.
BK letter pair games?
nobody wanted to check out the party in the park?
until Anthony arrived back after midnight?
how are there so many people in this club when there is nobody in this town?
I left Anthony there?
if I hadn't he would've made it in time to OH?
resulted in an extra lay in on Sunday for him as well?
Alex turned up?
people were more interested by our conversation than our 2x2 vs 3x3 race?
more than one person told us to start a podcast (not cubing related)?
watch this space?
Callum won 4BLD, then Noah turned up?
Yanks can't be European Champion even if they are 'Idea Engines'?
so much fun with Noah's challenges?
BK yet again?
I'm pretty sure the chairs on the tables means upstairs is shut?
I can't flag down this taxi?
chatted till passed 2am but eventually only Conny remained awake?
then Anthony climbed through the window?
someone woke to pee at about 5am so I showered and watched the sunrise?
Yau taught me to Hoya properly?
salad isn't as healthy as you'd think?
chips are much healthier and you can pay for competitions with them?
people solved cubes and some even got to stand on boxes?
Odder can be on 3 at once?
she's going to tumble?
Ron was too busy cleaning to get thanked?
UK cubers made all the chairs disappear?
we decided to try the Chinese buffet?
I chose to have all you can drink wine?
you should never try to get your money's worth when it comes to alcohol?
you shouldn't buy even more on the way back to your hostel?
I severely miscalculated several things?
I got extremely lucky and I'm very sorry to everyone who was scared for me?
I will fully recover quickly and hopefully will go down as a great reason to never drink that much?

We four German guys were like "WTF why is he here?!" when you went into the room at breakfast the next morning, because just 5 minutes earlier I asked Jan if he thinks you will fly back with all the other UK cubers, he refused and said no. The same answer like I expected it to be.
But Leon was right: "No blood, no foul"

I suppose you mean "three and half of the third twenty" (53)

Ah yes, it was 53Kr, so that must have been it. Still extremely confusing. I gave him a 100Kr note and he gave me 17 change, but I didn't realise until I checked the receipt later that he took 83Kr, but it was only 53Kr.

Very nice image. If anyone's bored, try to play "Where's Noah?"

I think Helmut recorded the whole final.... I don't know when he will upload it (realcube2000 on YT)
And I think Noah's under the GB flag

Did You Know:
CHJ waited about 12 hours for me in Copenhagen on Thursday? (sorry)
UK table was always messy, just like usual?
I tried to buy grated cheese, and then later realised cheese was only the 7th ingredient?
The German cubers are some quite splendidly spiffing chaps?
Arm-wrestling is the only thing I can beat Sebastian in (and even then it was close)?
Philipp downed a beer for the first time?
He wouldn't then upend it over his head to prove it was finished?
Adam thinks Mats skips OLL a lot, but Adam skips more steps than even Mats?
I want to get Daniel more drunk more often?
Nicotine 4 ways?
CHJ and Szatan can't handle their snus?
A really drunk guy wouldn't leave us alone at the bar, and insisted that he was coming to watch the finals?
Odder sometimes sounds Danish, but sometimes sounds like a posh Brit?
I DNFed a blindsolve for some people in Copenhagen because Anthony did too good of a job fixing my botched Y-perm?
They still gave me a bracelet?
Matias had his own room to sleep in, but decided instead to sleep on the toilet floor?
Joey can sub-5 an ice cream?
James Molloy is genuinely pronounce "Ha-mez Moh-Yoy"?
Big thanks to all the organisers and staff, it was a great time, and it was awesome to meet so many cool people - those I knew but hadn't met, those I'd heard of, and those who were entirely new.
