Thanks for a great competition and nice room-mates

actually they were PYJAMAS. from disneyland

yes they helped, he got some personal bests.

Hooray for pink pajamas! See, they really work!

Hmm, what about the rule

2h) Competitors must be fully dressed. Competitors may dress in jeans, pants, shorts, slacks, skirts, foot-wear, T-shirts or dress shirts. Hats may be worn. Clothes must not display vulgar language or have inappropriate pictures.

This doesn't really relate to girl clothing totally... what about dresses? what arnaud was wearing was probably longer than what many girls would consider "suitable", and if we tell arnaud he can't wear girl like clothing, aren't we just discriminating ?

as for the image on his shirt, totally inappropriate, i totally agree anders... :rolleyes:

 

[Edam]

i don't remember a rule about cross-dressing either

The key question is how to interpret "Competitors must be fully dressed." Maybe the rule 2h) needs some clarification.

I don't see what needs clarifying. What could possibly be more fully dressed for a cuber than pink pajamas?

Just to put everyones mind to rest about the pink pj's:
On Friday I asked Ron if I could do this and he agreed as long as I would be fully dressed
On Saturday I wore the pink pj's (and matching pink socks) with jeans underneath. Ron told me later that he was disappointed about the jeans and that the pj's were long enough to qualify as a dress.
On Sunday I wore the pink pj's and socks without the jeans whenever I participated.

PB's I broke:
4x4x4 average: 1:22.38
5x5x5 single: 2:02.25
Megaminx single: 2:37.44
Clock average: 16.68
7x7x7 average: 6:50.01

I simply forgot about blind and multi-blind because I was having fun and was explaining big-cubes to someone (she had been wearing something that might have been more reason for invoking rule 2h)

Not everyone has the same interpretation.

Being half naked with pyjamas in an hotel, is it being decent and fully dressed? For me, clearly no.

Another reason to rewrite the article, since it's not clear wether it is for enforcing freedom or decency.
