TAOTNBTTHO 2008 (not entirely official)

i have been trying to talk to lars in some dutch! although it takes so long for me to form a sentence i get a bit frustrated and just say it in english :P

i like the racing idea, although i think it might be quicker to mine... i will have all of my possessions packed. you may need a lorry though, i have a lot of possessions. i also refuse to leave napoleon, you must adopt him too. and felix.

[note to arnaud: i just saw a picture of you at the geneva open wearing a jumper!!! what!! i have never seen such a thing! actually, i've never seen you wear anything that wasn't orange :P]
 
I challenge Erik on "longest 4x4 session with parity=martini" :D

I would also be interested in some 6x6 events like "largest amount of piece coming out of a single pop" or "long popping" ;)

You will be soooo scared when I actually stand in front of your door some day :eek:. I will make sure I wear something orange (with my name on it) so you will recognise me. I was incognito in Geneva. Last time I was there I entered and left the country without permission and I didn't want to take any risks ending up in a vault (Swiss version of jail)

Napoleon and Felix can also be adopted if they agree. I always wanted a big family. I just imagined a harem, not a family of ugly dolls.

And we don't need to organise anything special for 6x6x6 popping. That will just happen anyway. I had a 90% cube pop yesterday in the train (NOT recommended). The other 10% was the core and the pieces I held in my hand that were partly connected to the cube

PS: Joey and Charlie, don't forget to send me your addresses
 
Charlie, Arnaud was wearing something not orange, but there was orange (not a lot, but there was) on his jumper :p

For the 6x6x6, there should be an artistic mark from 0.0 to 6.0, like in figure skating, judging the artistic-ness of the pop(s) :)

I already had the feeling that you girls were checking me out. Now I know for sure :o

And I love that idea for judging 6x6x6's on a 0-to-6-scale
 
Well I will make some statistics for the Den Hague Open , I need to know how the 6x6 and 7x7 behave during competition conditions. For me it will be decisive if I will schedule 6x6 and 7x7 events for future competitions.

How did the 6x6 and 7x7 perform during the German V-cube competitions? And during the demo's in Zwolle? I realy like to know.... please send me your report by email ....
 
Why by mail?

German V-Cube day: Almost everyone popped at least once. Dan Cohen popped at least once....... a minute

Demo's in Zwolle: No competition pressure, but about 1 pop every 30 minutes.

Brussel Summer Open 2008: Pop's turned a 4 minute 6x6x6 reduction into a 7 minute solve.

Weekly competition: I have gotten used to 1-piece-pops on 7x7x7, but inner-pieces-pops on 6x6x6 kill my times, mood and look-ahead :(

Now I understand why you think reduction is so fast. Reducing your 6^3 to a 0^3 that way is actually a very very fast method. :p

:D

Actually, it turns it into 6 1x0x0's. Reducing it this way is really impressive. One moment it looks nothing like 6 1x0x0's, but I have a theory that it takes at most 1 turn (in QTM) to turn it into 6 1x0x0's. Sometimes it even requires just 0.2 turns (in QTM).:rolleyes:

That's why I seriously never ever do 6^3 in a train! :D

Did you really manage to recover all the pieces?

This time I recovered all the pieces. I also managed to put it back together while in another train.
I have never lost a 6x6x6 piece, but I have lost a 7x7x7 piece in a Greece restaurant. V-Cubes was kind enough to supply me with the missing piece in Essen.

I have learned that 3x3x3_bf, magics, 6x6x6 and relays are really hard to do in a train.
 
The only big pop I ever had in a train was with an Eastsheen 5^3. With 6^3 I rarely pop more than three pieces anyway.

Hmm maybe I will change the format for Den Hague open to 3 attempts with a mean of 2 so the worse time does not count. A pop will affect the end result to much if a POP occurs in a mean of 3.We could also do a best of 3.
 
I'm in Lyon. I'm not in my room, because this morning I forgot my keys, and my roommate is not here...
BUT I have lots of cubes (and also some dodecahedrons, and a tetrahedron) with me, so if you want me to compete, I can :)

YES, I think to take cubes with me but not keys :p

As a returning cuber from 2008, hardware sure has come a long way. (Hardware appreciation/retrospective)
