For information:
$1 : 1.000 Wons
€1 : 1.500 Wons
(approximately)

Damn...
They also give many many prizes.
I think I am a little jealous

(Don't worry, I'll try to get as many prizes as possible for the Belgian Open )


PS:
On their logo, the Korean writing is read as:
"Hankuk Cube Championship", meaning "Korean Cube Championship".
I have noticed that several Korean words match nicely their English counterpart

sure you didn't switch that € and $ sign?
those prizes are groovy btw, I wish they had those at all tournaments...

 

[TheBB]

A euro is worth more than a dollar.

 

[Erik]

yes that's why,
1500 euro is more than 1000 dollar....

 

[Stefan]

Erik! Pot's not good for you!

Also: What's "Edison"? Lots of Edison puzzles as prizes...

 

[Harris Chan]

So...wouldn't breaking 3x3 Korean record means you break the WR? Unless someone else of another nationality broke it first...

Dang...for those prizes...I'll go for 10th to get Joy Black haha

So...for the Asian Record...you have to *represent* Asian country right? They say ""only for Asians", and I'm Asian

 

[Stefan]

wouldn't breaking Korean record means you break the WR?

Only one of the 29 world records is also a Korean record.

 

[Kemp_Drumsalot]

Phew, If I could get to Korea, I would go.

Please, use price money for the heaviest contestants.

 

[hdskull]

Nice prizes! At Caltech, you get a bag of candy.

 

[Kemp_Drumsalot]

Heck, I would settle for that bag of candy haha.

 

[masterofthebass]

The Edison cubes are an awesome prize also. I mean, a white 4x4? Awesome!

 

[CorwinShiu]

yes that's why,
1500 euro is more than 1000 dollar....

No, I think 1.500 wons are equal to 1 euro. And 1.000 wons are equal to 1 dollar.

So if you have 3.000 wons, you have 3 dollars and 2 euros.

 

[philkt731]

wow I really want an Edison 4x4x4! I think I could get close to winning the 2x2x2 if I went there...

 

[hdskull]

Heck, I would settle for that bag of candy haha.

It really isn't that easy to place top 3 at Caltech. You have guys like Dzoans, Macky, and Patricio(though he and Dan didn't go this time) attending.

You have 3 dollars or 2 euros. And depending on the mood in the exchange booth, I guess, not even that.

It might not be easy to place top 3 at Caltech, but placing top 3 in a small country like the Netherlands should be easy right? You just have to beat Joël (Euro2006 champion, 6th at WC2007), Erik (previous WR-holder) and Ron (current WR-holder). That's not an easy thing to do for people like Marc van Beest, Rama Temmink and others.

It gets even worse if you look at 4x4x4. That is 4 out of 5 from the Netherlands

He was talking about getting that bag of candy, haha.

 

[AvGalen]

I know.

I think the Dutch solution to this problem is to just share the price. In the case of candy that means you pass it around. In the case of a won trip to the next European Championship it means........I don't know how they are going to share that, but I heard they are going to do just that.

 

[Erik]

yeah probably
