MIT Fall competition 2009

I will need to borrow someone's stickered 4x4 for 4BLD in the unlikely event that I actually try it. Meffert's brand 4x4's with tiles are not legal for blindsolving. I assume someone must have a stickered Meffert's they would lend to me for 30 minutes whenever is convenient for them (Tim says 4 and 5BLD will be done whenever we need to).

Yes. Unless 4x4 is happening then.

I have a stickered Meffert's 4x4 that you can borrow.

 

[blah]

Since there are two being offered, can I borrow the extra one? I don't have a stickered 4x4x4 either

Thank you both!

@Stachu Tim said it doesn't matter at all when we do 4BLD, especially because so few of us will be doing it, so I certainly wouldn't do it during 4x4.

I have one its QJ and it is neon with light blue, also I'm not doing 4x4 so you could have it all day or however long you need

Thank you, guys!

Okay, let me revise that slightly. 4BLD and 5BLD must be done while people are working in the side event room, which will be approximately 12:30-5 (there's also people working there during multibld, but I don't want too many bld attempts going on at once). If you haven't started by about 3:30 or 4, I'll probably come find you and tell you to hurry up.

In any case, that means you can't do 4BLD from 11-12, which is when 4x4 is running =)

 

[StachuK1992]

Kian. Mine is a textured-stickered C4Y Mefferts.
Just don't use it form 11-12

does anyone havea set of stickers i can buy from them my speed cube is hard to solve because of the fading colors

I have extra C4U stickers if the other guy doesn't work out.

I have one I only need for the regular 4x4 and I will be promptly eliminated. I have a second one on the way

if anyone else is interested I have an unassembled type A and a C4Y that I don't need.

what is the average level of people there? i dont want to go and be like 10+ seconds slower than everyone else (average is like 25)

just go

 

[Ethan Rosen]

So I now think I'm going. More info later.

 

[PCwizCube]

I guess average is 25? Probably like 20 people who average sub 20 but everybody else is 20 - 2 minutes.

And you're not going to be embarrassed or anything. There are often a few people who average over a minute, and sometimes two minutes, and no one humiliates them or even look at them like they're a noob.

If you don't know already, Rubik's Cube competitions aren't about being the fastest and winning. It's about meeting new people and making friends, that's one of the main reasons why people go to Rubik's Cube competitions.

 

[AREScuber]

does anybody want to trade. i want 4x4 stickers and in return i have basically every other type of sticker or tiles.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

So I now think I'm going. More info later.

OK, could you register then?

I'm going to try to get us a bigger room...there's a lot of people signed up. More info later.

 

[Kian]

Kian. Mine is a textured-stickered C4Y Mefferts.
Just don't use it form 11-12

Will it be easy to cheat with? I'm gonna need some help.

Haha. sorry no.
Can't cheat with. But it has yet to pop, out of ~100 solves

Not only am I significantly slower than you I plan on competing in puzzles I haven't yet memorised all the algos for.

I hope you've practiced everything you plan on competing in pretty thoroughly. There will be cutoff times for averages and, in many events, a time at which we will stop solvers from continuing.

 

[ender9994]

Is anyone passing through the Harrisberg or Northern jersey on their way that could pick me up? I could help pay for gas. Thanks

Doug

Well, I have said screw it and have decided to drive up there (The jeep is already killing me). However, would there be anyway that me and 1 or 2 other people could possibly stay in someones dorm room or house? We would be willing to pay a few dollars for the generosity. Thank you.

Doug Gromek

Doug,

Unfortunately my space is limited and I've already offered everything I can offer to people. I'll see if anyone else at MIT can offer anything, but I can't guarantee anything.

Tim Reynolds

Just Wondering, have you happened to find anything?

does anyone havea set of stickers i can buy from them my speed cube is hard to solve because of the fading colors

I have a set of cubesmith stickers if that is okay with you.

thank you, how much will the stickers be?
where can we meet?

You can just have the stickers for free. Are you planning on using them for the competition? If not I can just find you during the competition. If so, perhaps I could meet you at the hotel where people are planning on meeting the night before (I am more than likely going to be sleeping in my car in the hotel parking lot )

does anybody want to trade. i want 4x4 stickers and in return i have basically every other type of sticker or tiles.

I have a set of normal colored 4x4 stickers from cube4you that I would be willing to trade for a set of normal colored 2x2 stickers

[Tim Reynolds]

I'll get back to you in about 24 hours, nothing yet though.

Not only am I significantly slower than you I plan on competing in puzzles I haven't yet memorised all the algos for.

Uh...are you going to learn how to solve them by the competition? Which puzzles? If you compete in a puzzle you can't solve, then it'll make life a lot more difficult for the people running it. Have you registered yet?
