Sorry, I don't know why I said that, and I did know that you don't have to DNF on a pop. Ok fine, I'll try and finish every single solve in a comp except when the timer for the last solve has gone beyond the slowest time out of the other 4 solves.

I wouldn't worry too much - joining in is fun. I have no chance against most other competitors - I am usually only trying to improve my own times.

This seems to be a good competition! But it's Czech Open's usual time. Have anybody heard anything about Czech Open?!

Yes:
"Twentieth festival of chess and games CZECH OPEN 2009 will be held from 16th July to 2nd August 2009."
So they don't conflict.

No , but the Chess tournament is scheduled from Jul 16, 2009 - Aug 2, 2009, so if there is a Rubik's event it should be scheduled for 17,18,19 July. I check if someone is busy with it

Charlie, what do you think?! If we land at 21:45 on East Midlands, is it possible to travel to Swindon on Friday evening?!

ok no i do not think so. it will be too late and there will not be trains. maybe try for flights to london airports (gatwick and heathrow are best but luton or stanstead will be okay, just longer on the train) or you can try bristol airport, cardiff airport, exeter, southampton.

Shall I hold a gun next to the head of the pilot to land there instead of East Midlands?! :confused:

Remember: Guns are supposed to be held in the LEFT hand in England and they are not allowed during tea-time

Yes, and if you bring your longbow and happen to be in Chester, you may legally shoot a welshman dead, but only after midnight.
This is actually true.

And they're REALLY strict about the midnight clause too - I know this one guy in Chester who was about to shoot a Welshman with his longbow and the time was just approaching midnight but not quite and the authorities came down on him like a ton of bricks.Remember: Guns are supposed to be held in the LEFT hand in England and they are not allowed during tea-time

at what point does it stop being 'after midnight' and become 'before midnight' (the next day) ?
sounds a little unclear to me. maybe..
"if you bring your longbow and happen to be in Chester, you may legally shoot a welshman dead, but only between the hours of 00.00 and 06.00GMT"

It basically means at night. From when the sun sets to when it rises. Anyway, you'll still get charge for murder if you did actually do it. Unfair, I know

This is the kind of ambiguity that ruined the movie Gremlins for a lot of people.
