Swedish cube day 2007

Because there are more registered participants than I ever expected from the beginning we may have to do some changes in the program for the day. Be prepared for that.

Best thing I think is if we who are there the day discuss what's best in the morning, before we start.

Matyas Kuti did not register for SCD 2007 but he came anyway. I think we can expect a number of WR's. for example 4x4x4 BLD, he can do sub 3, multi BLD he just did a 19/20 attemt this eavning :)

He also did a normal 5x5 of 1:26 :P

I hope there are some guys who can take some of his crazy solves on tape.

And good luck to everyone who's competiting tomorrow :)
 
The competition is now over. Here are some random results. They are not very accurate, but you get the point.

3x3: Eduoard Chambon avg 12.60. Best single time: Erik Akkersdijk 9.94 (non lucky)
5x5: Won by Erik Akkersdijk with a new single world record 1:30 i think. And also world record avg.
4x4: Won by Erik Akkersijk
3x3 BLD: Won by Mátyás Kuti: Two 55.xx solves.
Multi BLD: Won by Mátyás Kuti with 6 cubes in 15 min. (it was a looong day of cubing an everybody was tired)
4x4BLD: Won by Mátás Kuti with a new world record, but i can't remember the time. Like sub 5.
FMC: Anssi Vanhala 35 moves. Arnaud found a nice start but spent to long time on finding a good continuation and DNF'd.
Megaminx: won by Erik A, with avg WR of 1:14 and WR singel 1:12

I think Mátyás also won Clock, Sq1, Magic and MM.
 
A KConny was here before me telling the news =)

But one, Erik A also won the 2x2x2 OH but best single was Erik J 6,xx (lucky).

Matyas also won Pyraminx, I was best swede and I'm wery happy with that because Pyraminx was my main event for this competition =)

Results will come up probably tomorrow morning, Anders Larsson siad he was going tho check all results when he got home this night and send them to Ron when he is done with that.

Edit: "siad", no I'm not tired, not at all :P

Erik A had a wonderful Multi BLD of DNF/2. I was the judge. He started the first alg with an edge pop, it landed on the table and he put the cube down ad slowly search the table, finds it and gets it back in. He has no idéa of orientation but he takes to 50% chance and continues. Manage to end the first alg, does a second and pops again in the third. The edge newer got compleatly out but then he ended the solve. guess that cube was not good for his fast twisting style.

Results are online now:

I am glad I did not stay up until Anders sent the results file to me. It was 2:47am. :-) Now they were online at 8:10am.

I wonder whether Erik used his Olympicube 5x5. Amazing average.

Actually I did. The first solve (1:30) had a 7 sec during F perm. All the solves were videotaped and I'll put the first one up very soon. Too bad my average ended a bit bad, but I'm not complaining :)
The 9.94 was non-lucky I think, but I might've skipped one pair, though I'm not sure, this one is also on video.
I'm also very happy I won the main event I was waiting for so long! 2x2 OH is great.. :p
 
matyas averaged 2:30 per cube in his multiblind...wow. Amazing results Erik and everyone else who competed!

Thank's.

I did a lot to make things happen during the day, got a lot of help from everybody and that made it possible. Someone said in the end of the day, can't remember who, "this was like a three day competition in one day"

That made me happy and I stll smile when I think about it :)
 
Wow you guys are amazing, I can only dream of being so good for now! That 5x5x5 is so fast if I saw a video I would probably be sick!
 
Ron: Some thing went wrong. I got an avg of 20.12 but is listed after Mark Gaines who got 20.14 in the 3x3 final.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for notifying me. It should be correct now.
I hope next time you do sub 20 average.
Congrats on your 2 national records for blindfolded!

Have fun,

Ron

Thanks Ron. Yeah, I'll get it next time, altough I really should have gotten it yesterday. I even made a T-shirt that said: "sub20? Join the Fridrich Mafia" just to make fun of Anders Larrson and Lennart Aspelin who do corners first. That kind of backfired. :P
 
Here's a very short summary of the trip Erik and I made:

Thursday-night: I choose between going to bed at 01:00 and doing the weekly competition FMC. I wanted to practice corner-insertions so I tried to create a FMC-solve that ended with a 3-cycle. I actually succeeded (25 moves) and after 20 minutes I found a very nice 8 move commutator that cancelled 4 moves giving me 29 in total. Because I had a lot of trouble finding that commutator I decided to try to find all possible 8/9 move insertions. That ended at 6:15 giving me 2 hours of sleep that night. I can now say that I can do corner-insertions, but still not fast and natural.

Friday: Get haircut, pick up dog at ex-girlfriends house, drive to parents to drop off dog, drive to Erik, drive to airport (600 km total), fly to Sweden, worry about lost items (car-keys, stackmat, navigation system), realise we missed the last bus to a city, have fun at airport with random people, "sleep" on ground of airport (I can do that, Erik didn't really sleep) from 3:30 to 5:30

Saturday: Breakfast at airport, get picked up by Gunnar and Kåre Krig, drive to Stockholm/competition (125 km), enjoy everyone and everything during 12-hours of competition, be great at everything (Erik) and suck at most things (me), drive back from competition to airport (125 km), "sleep" at airport again for about 2 hours

Sunday: fly back after some delay, recover all lost items (very happy and lucky about this), drive back to Eriks place, have private cube meeting (why didn't anyone else come?), pick up dog at parents place, drive back home, sleep for 8 + 2 hours :)

Monday: Go to work, make plans for next saturday (Lyon Winter Open). Plans so far include travelling and more sleep :)
