[Faz]

Something noob like 5BLD. Also, change your signature

 

[MTGjumper]

Yeah, I keep meaning to do that... =/

We are off to a cracking start with 5x5 bld. Three competitors, Aron, Zane and Faz. Ill try and keep up with this fast paced event..........

 

[David Zemdegs]

Aron is first with the blindfold after 5 minutes

[Shortey]

I just ate a sandwich.

woah...

 

[Gunnar]

I just ate a sandwich.

Impressive :O

 

[David Zemdegs]

Aron did a 9:17 but sadly just missed getting it solved

 

[David Zemdegs]

Theres something eerie about the hush in this huge room as thousands of spectators are glued to this exciting event. You can almost hear the competitors thinking.....

 

[David Zemdegs]

For those who dont know Melbourne here are some interesting facts...It is considered to be one of the worlds most live-able cities - It is also one of the most expensive cities in the world to live and it has the highest per capita cancer rate in the world. It is also the only australian city with lots of trams.

thousands of spectators

Seriously?

 

[Kian]

Trams, you say? Riveting!

I can do that. Well, minus the "just" part.

... but in all seriousness, how close?

 

[David Zemdegs]

Seriously?

hyperbole - its a disability of mine....

I think less than a handful of pieces out of place.

I think less than a handful of pieces out of place.

I can fit a lot of 5x5x5 pieces in my hand.

 

[David Zemdegs]

Trams, you say? Riveting!

Apparently we sell all our old trams to SanFrancisco

 

[Tim Reynolds]

I think less than a handful of pieces out of place.

I would hope so. I think he can probably fit nearly all of the pieces in his 5x5 in his hand, otherwise this would be a very difficult event for him.

Zane has the first successful 5x5 blind solve in a time of 18 mins 38 secs
