French Open 2011

[gagou9]

hola !!

this year the french open will happen in Rouen (next to the sea), in march 26th and 27th !

i know it is very soon, but the decision of organizing a french open has been taken very late...

there will be prices and gifts, all events, possibility to sleep in hostels near the competition area.

Rouen is 1h30 of train from paris (about 15€), and the venue is by the metro, which you can take at the train station.

all informations on the website (i'm translating it into english, half translated right now) : http://www.esigrubiks.fr/
and here is the link to the WCA page.

i hope i will see you there !

Nothing really of note to report from yesterday. Results are up now anyway.
No videos of roberts 3x3 as far as we know I was doing multi. I'll give him the reconstruction of the 7.28 so he can post it here and stuff

For anyone interested, I kind of risked a last turn on one clock solve and got it wrong. The next solve I was surprised to see all clocks at 11 once I stopped the timer. Must have turned as I dropped it or something. Would have been 8.0x average I think.

I guess 6 months is long enough for a single NR... Plus so close to stealing my 2x2 average too o_O

Amazing performance though Rob! Too easy to forget how you aren't just crazy at 4x4 but everything else too

I'm practicing again for realz now, enough of 40-50odd solves a week...

EDIT: Also UK is the only country with 2 top 10 singles

Reconstruction of my 7.28:

Scramble: L R2 U’ R D’ R’ U2 B2 R2 B R2 U’ B’ U R’ B’ F R2

X-cross: z’ F L’ U’ x’ L’ U’ L U F U F’ R
2nd pair: U’ L U’ L’
3rd pair: U’ R’ U’ R U’ R’ U’ R
4th pair: R U2 R’ U y L’ U’ L
OLL: skipped
PLL: U’ L’ U’ L F L’ U’ L U L F’ L2 U L U2

45/7.28 = 6.18tps
