Aha, makes sense

(Next time don't just quote a random post, say "@Edam" or "Dude Adam", to make it obvious)

 

[Edam]

gosh.
Well thanks, I wouldn't have said my 5x5 times were awesome. I average a little under 3 minutes if I've been practising and a little over if I haven't. The 2.33.02 single was pretty much a pb (and a +2) I don't get those times much.

But i do agree that my 5x5 times are fairly disproportionate to my 4x4 ones. I just really don't like 4x4 very much. so never really pick it up unless i'm competing in it.

i got propositioned by a 16 year old today. i'm very disturbed.

please dont tell us what proposition it was, we may all become disturbed

I've noticed that too, I've just about overtaken you on 4x4 and I'm a little quicker at 2x2, but I'm way behind on 5x5, and still behind you on 3x3 too.

We should have a 'cube-off' at the comp.

Are there any plans for the Friday night get-together yet? Our lot should be arriving about 9pm if we're lucky with traffic (2hrs 36min journey according to Google Maps).

 

[CharlieCooper]

well we probably won't be in swindon... actually that's a lie... lars arrives at like 9.45 so depending on our car situation or whatever maybe the people staying at mine can all hang out in swindon for a bit after getting lars. i guess we'll hang around after on saturday though? thought i might go bowling or summat, obviously not on my own though. let me know

sounds good to me, 2-5 relay? actually my 5x5 times give me a bit to much of an advantage in that. i'll let you pick the event.

my 6x6 and 7x7 are the best, with a little bit more practise for centre's i'll be faster on 7x7 than 6x6!

learn magic!

 

[wk]

Guys, I've bought the v-cubes!

Edam/Charlie, include me in the 5x5 event as well please! Thanks!

 

[MichaelErskine]

Erm, could I also be added to a couple more events please (sorry for any inconvenience!) : 6x6x6 and 3x3x3 OH (although I'm no good in either!)

 

[Edam]

I've updated the spreadsheet's for you both

 

[wk]

Thank you very much.

Just for confirmation purposes, the events that I'm going to join are 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and 3x3 OH.

yeah, you'd hammer me at 2-5, I just watched your vid.

What about 2-4 relay? That might be pretty even, I'm normally around 3 minutes or under.

I got my ES 5x5 way after a 4x4 which is why I suck at 5x5. I don't have any V-Cubes yet, but according to UPS they should be arriving today. Also I don't have a magic, but I'm sure I could learn. I'm ok at snake too.

 

[Edam]

3:08.96 apparently, so that sounds about right.

Vcubes should boost your 5x5 times, I still get awful times on an ES.

 

[CharlieCooper]

my practice isn't going well. 3x3 is totally buggered.

I wouldn't worry about it too much -- I doubt that anyone here will be able to challenge my excessive times unless they fall asleep mid-solve

I hate my ES a lot, it's way too locky and small and I'm not keen on the 5x5 event anyway. My V-Cubes did arrive today, 6x6 was in bits but that's another story, but the 5x5 does feel loads better. Just gotta get used to the white cubes now, they're the first white cubes I've ever had.

anyway, look forward to meeting you.

 

[Robert-Y]

Erm I have a problem with my ES 4x4x4. After I lubed it today (and did many turns on it), I over-screwed the screws into the core and now at least one face is too loose and is more prone to popping and locking up. I can keep turning the screws in the core but they wont go in anymore.

Could someone please lend me an ES core (or I could just buy it off you) or can I borrow someone's meffert's or C4Y cube (if this would be a better option)?

I'm almost certain that my ES is dead because I can't seem to get anymore sub-50 averages and they were kinda easy for me to get in the past.

(Sorry I know I sound annoying, asking people for spare cubes but I don't have that many cubes and I only have a few good cubes: 1 3x3, 1 (well 0 now...) 4x4, 1 5x5.)

 

[CharlieCooper]

you can borrow one of my ES 4x4s if you like. i have black ones with bright stickers from cubesmith. any good? if you want to use it before the day i can post it to you in advance.
