HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Suppose that Minnesota Cube Melt has awesome events. {Awesome Events} ⊂ {Cube Melt Events}. By the events page, {Cube Melt Events} = {2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 3BLD, Square-1, Megaminx}. By the MMM events page, {MMM Events} = {2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 3BLD, Clock, Square-1, Megaminx, Head-to-Head}. Trivially, we can see that {Cube Melt Events} ⊂ {MMM Events}.

Thus, by the transitive property, {Awesome Events} ⊂ {MMM Events}, and the Cube Melt only has awesome events if MMM also has awesome events. The opposite containment need not be true.

4/10, clear point but not in two columns, very disappoint.

edit: clock makes it non awesome.

but not in two columns

Your high school geometry class has taught you to do math in a 100% fascist, uncompromising fashion, and is among the many reasons students continue to dislike math.

Oh I know, I actually love math. Just not the way we're forced to do it. Two column proofs killed me. Let's do some real math..

The number of competitors who chose 4x4x4 over 5x5x5 is quite surprising IMO.
Oh well, the 5x5x5 round will be fun.

9.5/10, 0.5 deducted for neither writing "Q.E.D." at the end nor drawing a box in the bottom-right corner.

On that note, if anyone would like to switch between 4x4 and 5x5, or any other events, make sure you do so by the 7th. Use the contact form on the cubingusa website and tell me the change if you are having trouble accessing your registration.

Will this competition be on Cubecomps?

 

[TheDubDubJr]

For anyone that is curious, Cube Melt is by far the more superior competition.

I mean just look at both of the Delegates and ours is already better! :tu

 

[Rubiks560]

This is true.

 

[Mikel]

I'm considering coming to this competition because in the Minnesota Cube Melt thread, they told me the competition would melt my cubes. I don't want to have to buy all new cubes after the competition.

But this one will drive you insane (may MADness), and therefore you won't cube at all!

People from Minnesota aren't allowed in this thread.

 

[Sa967St]

Does anyone want to carpool with Thompson and me? There's room for 4 more people in his car.

What about MinneSNOWta? I have never heard of this Minnesota that you speak of.

 

[Coolster01]

Wait, so there is only one round of 2x2 average of 5?

Nahhh. I hear it's 1 round of single.
