[SixSidedCube]

I know 50 something oll and full pll
and sune anti sune and h(I think the one with 4 cases) for cll on 2x2 I want to finish it.

OLL has been a long time coming since just before nz champs 2010 where I learned almost 2 look oll (I think) all I remember is I improved 10 seconds in the week before


not many kiwis post regular on here there's Dene and me, and Cubeorcubes rencently that I know of

Oh nice! I'm going to get back into my OLL's and re-learn a few PLL's I forgot >.<

I want to know at least 40-50 OLL's before I go to the comp in December.

Yeah, Dene is a boss at posting (And bugging people ) Him and I had a good laugh at the Waikato Summer Open last year when we were relaxing at Josh's flat To be fair though, he had drunk a HEAP of Demon.... AND was listening to Amon Amarth.... I am fully going to get more active on this forum now.

hopefully will attend~~ after exams which is good, i started cubing last christmas holidays, but then stopped as I got too busy, and then started again last month, gives me something to do during breaks between study, so basically been cubing for a few months all up. i use 2 look OLL and full PLL. average 20s sometimes get sub-20, still really beginner, so hope to meet people at the comp, as I dont know anyone that cubes =.=

 

[SixSidedCube]

Of course you will meet people at the comp! We're all very easy to talk to (Apart from Zhaohan, he is a snob) but yeah, you can talk to anyone there

I live in Wellington and I went to Bunnings and brought crc 808 it works well enough desite the fact I've cubed for 3 years I've used no lubix like lubes

Does anyone know where to get Lubix like lubricant in Auckland?

I have not found any pure silicone out there, I just ordered three new cubes from Lubix.com (Ultimate Lubix Zhanchi, 55mm Zhanchi, and Ultimate Wittwo 2x2). They do it all for you, and for the work they do, the price is amazing. Buy it straight from them. You can either buy a new cube (Modded, tensioned and pre-lubed with lubix, or you can just buy the Lubix Silicone.

I've ordered the CRC One drop slik from Repco, so hope it will be here soon, it contains the same stuff as lubix, but this one is quite watery (I don't know how thick lubix is) so i'll give that a try and see how it goes, as I use crc 808 now but it dries up really fast for me. maybe also try diff oil??

 

[tx789]

II use crc 808 now but it dries up really fast for me. maybe also try diff oil??

It does for me too but the feel doesn't really change I just add a little more every so often

 

[DarkFusion]

Yea I'm making a big order from CubeDepot soon after my exams finish and I will probably order some Lubix

 

[tx789]

I hope we get more competitors, be sure to share this with your friends.

 

[tx789]

What are the chances of square 1, Clock, 6, 7, Feet, FMC and mega how many people need to sign up for them and I know time can be a big thing

 

[D4vd]

Well I think sq1 has a good chance of being an event.
Clock should be there too.
6&7 depending on time.
FMC, would like to try it since we haven't done it at a NZ comp before. Maybe if we have time.
Mega possible too.
Not sure about feet.

At the moment numbers are low so it seems that we will have plenty of time however I hope more people sign up!

me too kinda


on fmc we could always try it. There I first time for everything. I suck at it and don't use anywhere near an hour(linear solutions slightly shorter than my speedsolving ones)

 

[jbrungar]

Yea it depends on numbers and time available, wont be making any decisions til closer to and on the day. Let's just focus on getting the numbers up. Get the word out, tell everyone you know. We need to build up the active community in NZ. We all want more comps after this one too, so we need to work on this. If we don't get to run an event at this comp, there is always other opportunities later, but we need the numbers.

 

[euninja]

Hi there, are we able to sign up for an event and then pull out of an event if we don't want to compete in it? As i just ordered a pyraminx, and it will arrive just before the competition, but I have never solved one before, so not sure if I will manage to learn how to solve it before the comp.
And just wondering if any of you are interested in buying a Rubik's cube tissue box as seen off the Big Bang Theory, asked mum to make me one and there was spare wool to make some more~~ I have 1 solved one, and 6 scrambled ones. a majority of the scrambled cubes are random colour schemes, i think only 1 of them is in 'solvable' colours.

Yea, that is fine, just put a note in the comments.
