whats about accommodations? is there something cheap near the venue?

I'm still trying to arrange some group-sleeping accommodation for little money. People from far away might be invited to my house ;-)

do you have some informations for us about this?

 

[Pitzu]

Wow! Great name finally! Too bad that I cannot come. (I'm running on 26th in my own city.)
However I'm an FMC noob.

 

[irontwig]

Any news on accommodations?

 

[mycube]

same question from me.
can someone tell us which accommodation you booked?

 

[mycube]

Booked my Room at the Hotel Restaurant Savenije Today. Its perfect. Just 400 m to the Venue! The nearest i found. Is someone Else there so we could meet friday and have a nice cubing evening.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Unfortunately not going to make that one. One it's too far away, and two I cannot stay away overnight.

Too bad, but have fun!

 

[irontwig]

Psyched~

 

[Erik]

We could surely use a few more competitors, if you need a place to stay you might be able to sleep at my place ;-)

I just unregistered and now subject me to public flaming...
I was one of the FMC enthousiasts pushing for this comp to happen and now I’m not going.
Lately I’m just not enjoying FMC as much as I used to (note my absence in the online competitions) and decided to do N8W8 instead to have a go at big BLD.

Would love to compete with Guus and Okayama again and meet Irontwig but it will have to wait for another time.

Sorry guys

Hope this comp goes well this weekend. If I had been as interested in FMC a couple of weeks earlier I would have arranged to come. Look forward to seeing the FMC scrambles

my results for the first Round.
not happy about my first sub30-solution..

Spoiler: Scramble 1:

F D2 L' F2 D' R B R U R F' L2 U' L2 U' B2 U D B2 U'

my first try was this 2x2x2:
on inverse: R' F' L' B' U' B2
after 25 minutes of trying i changed some moves:
inverser: L' R' F' B' U' B2
easy linear solution:
D' F' D2 R D'
U' L' U2 L
Switch to normal:
F U' F' U F L F2 R' F L' F' R F - LL-Skip - yeah i know it's no good first sub30.

Solution:
F U' F' U F L F2 R' F L' F' R F L' U2 L U D R' D2 F D B2 U B F R L - 28 Moves and with Tomoaki Okayama together the first place in the first Round.

Spoiler: Scramble 2:

D2 F2 R2 F2 U2 R2 D' L2 R2 D2 F2 R F2 L' B D2 B' U' B R2
to much possibilities

easiest 2x2x2: F2 D B2 R
my try was:
Premove: U2
R2 U L'
Switch to inverse: L2 D' L2 U B U
found, tried 25 minutes, was not able to find it, found it again, wrote it wrong down, was not able to find it again -.-, found and wrote down.

=> DNF

Spoiler: Scramble 3:

U2 D B U R2 B' D' L' D2 F R F2 R2 L2 B2 L2 U F2 R2 U'
some fun-things in there.
my Solution:
F2 D R2 B2 R2 B' - 2x2x2
D F' D' L (Premoves: F' L2) - two other 1x2x2
F U F' U2 L' U' L U
Switch to inverse: L' F L' (undo the previous premoves)
Switch to normal: L' U L F U2 F2

Solution to L5C:
F2 D R2 B2 R2 B' D F' D' L2 U L F U2 F' L F' . L
. = F' : L B2 L' F L B2 L'
: = F' L2 F R F' L2 F R'

Solution:
F2 D R2 B2 R2 B' D F' D' L2 U L F U2 F' L F L2 F R F' L2 F R' L B2 L' F L B2 - 30 Moves
optimal insertions would be with 5 move Cancellation. but the first one would have 2 move cancellation. so i was not able to find this insertions. i'm not happy about this because i expected something better for an 18 move Skelleton to L5C.

 

[Selkie]

Thanks for the scrambles mycube, appreciated. with these three and the one posted from N8W8, that's my Sunday entertainment sorted

 

[mycube]

Back to the hotel.
that are the final-scrambles: hat just a lot of fails.

Spoiler: Scramble 1:

U2 F2 D' R2 D R2 F2 D F2 L F D B' R' B L2 R2 U2 L U

Erik found a 24, lucky.

me DNFed

Spoiler: Scramble 2:

B L2 R2 F2 L2 D2 F' D2 F L2 D' F' R' U L2 B2 F' L B' R F'

34, nothing to tell about.

Tomoaki found a 28.

Spoiler: Scramble 3:

U B2 D' U2 B2 L2 D B2 R2 F' U R2 D' L' B U2 F L R'

My start: F R D' B2 D

Extended to a 2x2x3:
F R D' B2 F2 D2 L D R' F' R

needed 35 minutes to find this:
F R D' B2 F2 D2 L D U2 R' F' R U'
F2L-1 in 13 Moves.
Finish: F' L' F L'

Solution zu L5C:
F R . D' B2 F2 D2 L D U2 R' F' R U' F' L' F L'
. = R U R' D2 R U' R' : D2
: = L2 D' R' D L2 D' R D

found this insertions. and they are optimal -.- just 3 moves cancellation..

this would be the solution:
F R2 U R' D2 R U' R' L2 D' R' D L2 D' R D2 B2 F2 D2 L D U2 R' F' R U' F' L' F L'

i think i just made a mistake while writting the solution down and i was to stupid to find it in the last 3 minutes.

 

[Erik]

But the link of my name (Tomoaki Okayama (岡山友昭)) points wrongly to Henrik Buus Aagaard.

All scrambles & my solutions were posted in the FMC thread.
