Speedcubing in Sydney

[poorshooter]

erm, does bus 400 (i know it goes to the airport) pass burwood westfield? richard says it might not, and i'd better take a train..
i'm a bit reluctant to take a train, so could any of you point out how i could get there, from anzac parade? i still think my best option is to take that 400 bus, but where do i need to get off of it? what other bus would i need to take afterwards?
any help is appreciated! thanks..

So yea, if you take the 400 to burwood, it should be the last stop.
It'd be really easy for me coz i just live at campsie (azn town ) which is 1 stop away.

hahaha, perfect! i will catch the bus on anzac parade, which is 9(!) stops away... it took me around 30 minutes to get to the airport, so i guess it would approximately take just under an hour to get to burwood...

 

[Thomas09]

Hey what about Eastgardens on Bunnerong? I'm like a 5 minute walk away AND it's easy for poorshooter. 400 ends in Eastgadens. Then we can crash at my place. NAh jks.

I'm fine with all of the above too.

Oh yeah, we all good with Sunday?

 

[richardzhang]

nah lets just stay at burwood casue you gotta organise everything again

 

[Thomas09]

KK. Start at 12 at the Cinemas, then move to food court? Sunday? C'mon people I need answers! What about events? 2x2- 7x7? Square 1, Megaminx, pyraminx, siamese? I have 2x2- 5x5 and siamese (1x2x3 joint).

 

[richardzhang]

i think thats a bit too much events
dont do pyraminx, square1 siamese and maybe v cubes

 

[richardzhang]

btw anyone willing to trade cubes with me

 

[Thomas09]

Lol, I was just about about to ask that question. I only really have one thing for sale. A broken Eastsheen 4x4. An arm of the core is snapped, right down the middle. As a result, everytime you solve it, halfway through, it becomes super loose. It locks up even more, over turns easily and pops with simple turns. So if any one wants it for parts, including the broken core, it will be at a low price.

 

[poorshooter]

this is starting to sound exciting!
i only have 2x2 - 4x4, a square 1 (which i dont know how to speedsolve yet) and a mirror cube. not much for trading material right?

lets make the next meetup in eastgarden!! hahaha

 

[richardzhang]

ill trade you a type c for the square 1

 

[poorshooter]

@richard: just bring yours tomorrow, and i'll bring mine. i might not want to trade though, depends on how much i like your type c

 

[richardzhang]

[poorshooter]
