What? When was the NZ exchange rate over AUS90c?

 

[Kenneth]

Of topic but...

lol, I love those figures =) the last part of the fraction is in real money about the worth of a Hydrogen atom

Why not round to cents? there are not smaller money to get anyway.

What? When was the NZ exchange rate over AUS90c?

When I placed the order, xe.com and google had:
1 NZD to 0.88 AUD

paypal had:
1 NZD to 0.90482430017867778439547349612865 AUD

So the seller ended up with an extra AUD$12.504 due to the crap exchange rate Paypal gave us.

On the other hand, I would've had to pay a fee for doing a direct deposit and wouldn't have insurance on the order if I didn't go through Paypal.

I'm just glad AUD is greater than NZD

I know 12 other people that are cubers but don't actively participate on this forum or other cubing related ones. About 4 others too that don't go to my uni ^^

Tim.

Tim.

you can meet me and matt on sunday, and go to a nearby tram stop or something.

Proposed Meet-up:
Date: 5th or 6th of January
Time: 2pm to 6pm
Location: Melbourne Central Level 2 (just outside the food court)

Events:
- 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5
+ any other puzzle

What to bring:
- puzzles that you want to speedsolve
- Competition Timer if you've one (I'll be bringing 3 anyway)

The proposed time is meant to correlate with a few interstate cubers who're in Melbourne around that time. If it's inconvenient we can re-schedule.

The proposed competition time is obviously unsuitable due to the amount of known cubers in Australia not being able to make it. We should discuss a more suitable date/time.

It'll have to be the 6th - because I am only back on the 5th. I hope John can make it.

 

[TimMc]

It can be the 7th too I suppose. If people can still make it. Just need to confirm it with folks for those who need to get permission etc. Might be a bit difficult without a specific date, but if they can confirm one of the days it'll be good

Tim.

 

[Rubixcubematt]

5th, 6th or 7th will be good for me. Any time after the 8th is bad, because I will be going to queensland. I'm sure that my parents will let me go to melb central, or they could come with me....

 

[Faz]

2pm-6pm??
Is there a chance that we could make it earlier? Maybe 12:00pm?
I am free on the 6th and 7th. Hopefully 10 plus people??
Maybe i could provide some scrambles so we can have a mini 3x3 round of competition for fun?

Looking forward to it

I'll bring my laptop along if we run out of scrambles.

We can bring it back to 12pm if you want. The 7th seems to be looking good.

I doubt we'd have 10+ people. Most like around 4-5 at this short notice, and with some people unavailable.

Tim.
