I found an extra blue centercap in my cube bag Saturday night back in my room at Holiday Inn, but I don't know if it's from a c4y (at least it doesn't have the two protrusions like in the picture here). If you can PM me your address, I can mail it anyway.

DidYaKnow?
- our (charlie too) plane was cancelled..
- we had to get a lift with greg austin and his dad
- very thankful of that
- My only good result was a nonlucky 10.53
- it had a G perm
- so did every other solve in the second round (2/9)^5
- I did my usual bad bad good good okay average in 4x4 (67 61 56 51 48)
- I'm bad at DidYouKnows?

also, I LOST MY CUBE. It's a modded a5 (aka haiyan memory), it has the stickers that come with the cube, and has a logo. I really hope someone just picked it up by accident. If you have it please, PM or something.

Did you know:
- this was my first German Open ? (Last year I was in Barcelona)
- and definitely not my last ?
- Paris-Gütersloh (in Jean-Louis' car) took 8 hours, but Gütersloh-Paris took only 6 ?
- I sucked at almost every event ?
- the only (sorta) PB I broke was at 5^3 BLD, off by only 10 centers (previous PB was 12) ?
- I still got a sub-2 at 3^3 BLD (I wanted it after my 2:00.00 at French Nationals) ?
- thanks to Joel for his BLD algs (although I didn't use them at the comp because I need to practice them first) ?
- both my 3^3BLD attempts had 10 misoriented edges ?
- I bought a really good V6 for only 20 euros ?
- unfortunately not in time for the 6^3 event ?
- I suck at DYKs too

Did you know?

-Charlie and Joey had quite the journey. We left at 7pm and 9pm on Thursday night to get a train to where Greg Austin lives. We waited until 4am Friday (a lot of that outside in the cold because the train station closed) to be picked up then drove three hours to the ferry. That then left at 8am and we drove to Gutersloh, arriving at 6pm. Almost 24 hours :O
-We totally thought we'd be able to fly back, but that was wrong, we weren't... and did the whole thing the way back but got stuck in traffic for an hour and a half at least and missed the original ferry we planned to get... :fp
-I cannot pronounce the name of the school to a taxi driver to save my life and Lars had to repeat it about 92 times each phone call. I did successfully book in German though
-The hotel was actually really nice and pretty cheap?
-There was a blue light in the shower that Joey and I kept on all night, just because it was cool.
-We bounced on the beds out of joy for finally being there
-Cornelius apparently looks like me. Since there is a bit of an age gap he can't really be my twin, so maybe he can be my kid/brother. In any case he is SUPER CUTE!
-*lick hand* SLAP SLAP SLAP
-We DID teamsolve that teraminx
-We DID sit in silence, with the odd ice cube down the shirt punishment
-I got a new PB for square-1 of 21.xx seconds but I was annoyed because I fumbled and it could have been sub 20 very easily if I hadn't done cube shape wrong >.<
-Unexpectedly came third for clock!? This keeps happening and I have no idea why.
-Got my pyraminx single NR back, wasn't even lucky... full step 4.46 :| I even exclaimed in German after this I got a new average NR too, 6.77 but this only got me 6th place, very very tough pyra competition
- BAZMEG PILLANGO
- FOSSOPO PILLANGO CURVA
- Every other event I took part in sucked big time.
-I am not sure how much closer I will get to sub 2 on 5x5 before actually getting it... 2:00.86 is getting silly now.
- Maria
- Kai has crazy dance moves
-Karsten has crazy harmonica skills
-Joey and Charlie love to dance to this
- HOBBIT

Will update later... still recovering

 

[macky]

Did you know...that
- Charlie had requested champagne on her and joey's arrival, but I only had Martini?
- this bottle of Martini has now been in four countries (France, Spain, Germany, passed by Belgium...back to France)?
- Cornelius is SUPER CUTE?
- cipőfűző!
- A Japanese dude living in the US but currently studying in France flew from Spain for a competition involving Hungarian plastic toys, where he asked a Dutch guy in German for a Swiss cutting instrument? Europe kicks ass.
- Charlie and joey share a mother? (as I might?)
- it's apparently well known now that an alligator and a Romanian guy are on the side of a river?
- in cubers' hell, the devil makes you scramble 100x100x100 forever and ever, blindfolded? that there is no wca delegate to help you if you make a mistake...you have to solve it?

 

[Rama]

Did you know...

I came for the food...
But when I saw Joey and Charlie I immediately smiled big time?
Erik registered me for 3x3x3 during round three of 3x3x3?
I still got 12.31 average on the semi final?
Cube amnesia anyone?
One particular woman always seems to smile when you mess it up, POP, DNS or DNF.
You cannot ban someone for telling the truth?
I had Alexander Springhorn's Facebook friend request pending for a looooong time?
It was awesome to meet old friends again and I somehow still remembered all their names.

 

[Olivér Perge]

- we did some cuber impersonations?

Here is one. Sorry Stefan.

I'm presuming you all had parity before drinking any of it?

Totally why I love Macky hahaha.

Mark, we were too tired for parity, I just wanted some Martini down my neck ASAP. I did get all parity on 4 and 6 though

Ok that's fair then.

 

[jazzthief81]

Did you know:
- this has always been one of my favorite tournaments?
- during all the 7 times I've been to Gütersloh it has never disappointed me?
- I had a bet with Joël Spang that we would participate in 3x3x3 blindfolded and get a successful solve?
- Joël didn't even turn up?
- I DID practice and take part in 3x3x3 BLD?
- and was 4 flipped edges away on my 2nd attempt?
- this was the first shot I had at blindfolded solving in over two years?
- I somehow did one successful solve in competition many many years ago (Dutch Open '04)?
- Macky is so awesome to have around at competitions and we will miss him over here in Europe?
- Rama takes great photos and should definitely do this more often?
- I scrambled a total of 25 6x6x6's and 28 7x7x7's on Saturday night?
- I actually enjoyed that a lot more than solving those puzzles, which is why I didn't take part?
- it was great to judge Mats Valk in the final and see him reel off such a solid average?
- Mats is now my favorite 3x3x3 cuber?
- I had take a train at 3.40am on Monday to be at work on time (9am)?
- I could go on and on?

- I look like Charlie O_o
- British accent is really really hard for me to understand (Joey: "Where is joouur cube?")

- I can solve the cube, can you solve the cube?
- I got some really nice times during practise (8.22 PLL skip, 8.6x NL while lunch )
- I raced many people

Yes, I tried to find you after the ceremony to take a photo but you had left already

Joey's accent is hard for me to understand, don't feel bad Just ask Olivér and Macky, they have to get me to translate from Joey's English into regular English so that they can understand him

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

@Cornelius
You really look like Charlie, I never noticed before, but it's creepy

- and I am looking forward for next your / next competition

wat

@All
Oliver actually did kill Cornelius, and then hacked his speedsolving account so nobody would notice. He even practised the German comma!

 

[lorki3]

Thanks
