Master magic - Borrow James' (PWEASE?) and beat my official PB if possible.

I don't have the foggiest how to restring it. The master magic has one string all over the place, and my magic has a broken string. I have no spare strings. Yes I can still sub-2 magic but I just want to improve my 5.30 single for now :p

Charlie - you can of course. Its feels different since I restrung it. I think I was running three strings at the bisuness end, but can't remember. Its still good though.

Daniel - You can join the queue to use mine if you like. I can restring your's for you if you like, but I can't guarantee it will be before you compete.

Team BLD should be able to happen still, I'm just reluctant to put it on the schedule in the case that I haven't estimated enough time for the other official, and therefore more important, events. Head to head is definitely going ahead though.

What's the day's schedule?

Like, after the comp, what is happening?

Going back to YHA or what?

My goals;
2x2 - Sub-5 single, sub-7 average.
3x3 - Sub-20 single, Sub-25 average.
4x4 - Sub-1:40 single, Sub-1:50 average
5x5 - Sub-2:20 single, Sub-2:30 average.

Charlie, could you put my name down for Head2Head please? :D

Yes, I can, but please email such things to [email protected] because otherwise I forget. Very hard to keep track of everybody's requests on here/PMs/FB etc.

The plan after Saturday will be to clear up lots (you are all lovely helpful people ;)), go to our respective lodgings I imagine then reconvene for dinner at a restaurant I have yet to book for everybody. Trying to think of something with good light. After that I guess we'll go to a pub... or... THE CIDER BOAT. I can hear you all excited.

Yeah the boat does get cold and it's already freezing here. Come prepared with 'would you rather?' questions. A true hit last year (see hysterical laughter in the photo below, thanks Michael):

Wow CubeDepot is awesome. The Dayan 4x4s are here!
It's extremely bad out of the box though..so hard to turn. I take like 0.5s to do a U2 >.<

Mine was like that. Maru lube and shock oil helped greatly. I wrote a short review thingy on the random speedcubing discussion thread.
