Hi Everyone, A Northern California tournament is currently in the works. We're looking at the weekend of September 17 and 18. Discussion for this tournament,...
Hi Everyone, I am only a couple of steps away from confirming this event. Once everything is confirmed and reserved, we will make the proper announcements on...
So I'm not sure if I understand the scoring correctly, and perhaps Jeff Soesbe can correct me if I'm wrong, but this was my idea: You do the 2-cube, 3-cube,...
It's exactly like a 3x3x3 with layers crammed in the cuts. try to pop it just like a 3x3x3, but be warned, you'll have 92 little cubies to put back in place....
what if someone breaks WR in this event, or at the tournament where you are having this event? IMO, probably best to use the WR as of some point in time prior...
Hi Kirk, Yeah, adding times without weighing them is not feasible. Right? 10 seconds to correct parity on the 4-cube is expected, but 10 seconds on a 3-cube...
Tyson, yeah, we're totally on same page re needing some sort of weighted score--like you noted, shaving 5 seconds off time on 3x3, or 2 seconds off 2x2, is...
Hi Kirk, Where are you from anyway? Will you be attending the Northern California tournament? I like the idea of comparing to the world record because, as you...
Hey Parker, Check out this site for some good info on assembly/disassembly of the Rubik's 5x5x5. http://www.geocities.com/pjgat09/misc5a.html Chris ... to...
I moved to Idaho from Irvine, CA a few years ago, but I have clients in Bay area and am there regularly. I'm trying to swing it so I can make the tournament,...
It would be quite cool to have someone solve all four cubes in one go. However, I would definitely be reluctant to make this an actual event because really,...
you probably could write a program which could calculate the percentage they were away from the world record for each puzzle and average them all together, and...
That would be very much appreciated... only if you don't have anything to do. I could write a program too, but I wouldn't know how to make a user interface...
I agree w/you that if you have all timed at once, it most likely comes down to who does the 5x5 the fastest. So that's good for a crowd pleasing display, but...
Hi Tyson, A few suggestions: The order of solving could be 5x5x5, 4x4x4, 3x3x3, then 2x2x2, so that the problems get simpler and the speeds go up. If you want...
September 17, and I'm ready to announce it officially as I just got the last sponsor necessary. Stay tuned! Tyson Mao MSC #631 California Institute of...
Event: Northern California Fall Open Date: Saturday, September 17, 2005 City: Hillsborough, California Venue: Crystal Springs Uplands School, Gryphon...
Hey Tyson, I was wondering if there was any semblance of a schedule for the Dallas tourney yet. All I really would like to know is when I have to be there,...
Hi Everyone, This e-mail has some information I need and that you will probably need to. Let's start, shall we? First of all, if you haven't signed up in the...
Hi Everyone, Friday, August 12, 2005: Morning: media interviews Afternoon: setup in the museum, various airport pickups Saturday, August 13, 2005 As early as...
Hey Frank and Bob, You'll notice with the current schedule, Magic, Master Magic, and 5-cube are kind of sandwiched in between. This is because I do not expect...
Hi Everyone, After the tournament, the museum would like us to run workshops. I think this would be a great opportunity for you guys to get out there, spread...
Careful examination shows that there's no way the 3-cube second round will happen in half an hour so I've allotted 45 minutes instead: 9:30 AM - registration ...
