Challenge accepted, I can beat that! ...maybe this year, if I get a very easy scramble, a CMLL I know and a LSE skip

Tomorrow in Mijas (Málaga) three-minute cutoff for 5x5.Any good comps coming up in Spain or Netherlands?
Next weekend in Terrassa (Barcelona) also a three-minute cutoff.
I think that's normal in Spain, I also remember seeing some four-minute cutoffs for 5x5. It must be to attract turists from UK and Poland

If I've had a few drinks and try some solves before bed, I only count the good ones... Because I blame the drinks. Of course I would never share such useless and trivial information, unless I had had a few drinks.

Registration is closed. Looks like my options are Finland or South Africa.

If you are getting any good solves then you are clearly not drinking enough.

Its a bit like dancing: you're a way better cuber when drunk, just don't look at the timer...

I managed 3 consecutive solves over 70s after much vodka the other night including a 1:35. I could use qqtimer as a hangover predictor.

Finland is usually nice, but Finland in November isn't necessarily the nicest experience...
Looks like I would already have a chance to make it into the top 100 in national rankings for both 3x3 single and average, if I can avoid excessive amounts of vodka in the last few hours leading up to the comp and perform at normal level. In 3bld a successful solve would be enough to get into the top 20.
Unfortunately I can't make it to the next comp and the one after that is side events only, no 3x3. The quest for official results will have to wait.

Cool! Where are the 3X3 resultsI had a bad week... sup 20 does not occur very often any more..
I added today some more results to my weekly comp post. 3x3 was so-so (sub-19). 4x4 was terrible for those easy scrambles but... I got a OH Ao5 PB!!!
I'm hooked

Hmmm, I'm pretty horrible at coaching anything. Looks like everything was good to me.
I did it kind of cross in front for half and then cross on bottom. I know my look ahead needs improving, probably one of the main reasons why my F2L is so slow. That and I need some better algorithms so it doesn't take me 20 moves to do an F2L pair where the pieces are adjacent or on top of each other, haha

3x3 solves? Wow I guess I'm not drinking enough. I still could get my average like 10% of the time.
My wife and I cracked up about the hangover predictor!

I just recently saw this video on f2l and I like it. Especially how you can try the four triggers for any case where they are paired to teach yourself the best solution. (I'm on my phone and don't recall how to insert the link like Mike showed me)I did it kind of cross in front for half and then cross on bottom.

Yes, 3x3. Just found the session and the most shameful section was 1:35, 1:15, 1:28, 57, 42 & 1:08. I currently average high 30s but it was a LOT of vodka.

Sounds like just before the point you only THINK you are running yourself, but actually starting a game of angry birds each time.

Go get them! Break a leg
I think I've broken my leg and got a little disaster: http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=1223&compid=29
But I know you didnt mean it.
What happedn if FM? Answer is simple: mistakes in notation. I wrote y instead of y', B instead of B' and D instead of D'. In last solve I found 33 moves solution. Next time gonna be better. In OH - I dont know what happend. In 3bld - I was very tired and memo was awfull. There wasnt any bigger break. But I'm quite happy with time: first official solve with turbo/3style. I need much more practice. Next two were dnfs because of mistakes in undoing setups. They were sub 2 (I remeber last one 1:47.xx). And only in 3x3 I've made a pb ao5: 22.65. In 20.20 I got Nb perm which I dont like and I do it in 3 seconds. With hard recognition it took me 5 seconds.

Congrats on that PB!
Do you have that 33 FMC scramble/solution?
I would like to compete in FMC, but using Roux is not an option, right? (M moves are not allowed I think).

well they would count as 3 if you want to use Ms (R, L' x' or something like that I believe).
