Buy me a ticket to Sydney, I'll get there and organize a great competition there. Then, buy a WCA board member/delegate a ticket, I'll even make it official....
If there are any XKCD fans here, apparently Randall, the author, is at least a casual cuber. He gave a talk at google a while back and I just stumbled across...
It's about 2000 USD to go from Paris to Australia. Hey, is it true that in Australia, U' is the same as U, as we do it in the Northern Hemisphere? And R' is...
Alcohol is very hard on blindfold cubing, but does not have much impact on regular speed solving. I agree, there is a significant slowdown, but a good ...
This might be a little off-topic and extremely math/CS heavy but it has been bothering me for a few days. Let's say I want to generate scrambles for NxMxL...
Okay to start motivating this topic I'll make a short list: (R L) is not legal for 2x2 but is ok for 3x3 4x4: If we allow both multislice and non-multislice...
Try to solve a skewb drunk. Your hands aren't quite sure how it turns. I couldn't do 5 turns without trying to twist it wrong and popping it apart. ... ...
I have a feeling you'd have to go probabilistic for this, unless you happen to have 19-sided dice lying around... Could we have some exact specifications?...
I dunno about the notation being backwards but it might explain why there aren't as many cubers here :P I'd definitely be up for a competition, I've never...
Well hmm... I think Francois wasn't being entirely serious. I don't think he would expect you folks to come up with 1400 Euros. But let's brainstorm a little...
About 1200 USD from LAX to Sydney. With the way AUD is looking... that gets cheaper for you folks with each passing day! If you find a venue for the...
... There are a few of us, I know of at least 2 or 3 in Sydney, but there must be more. I see you've already checked out the Aussie yahoo forum but it's been...
I live in the eastern part of Adelaide, South Australia. I would be guessing at around 7 cubers at least (as they are all from my school). However, apart...
Gathering up all your comments, the major thing about hosting a competition is...money. So what is the exchange of AUD to European dollar? Chewbacca Nibbles ...
... The blasphemy... European WHAT? Google something like "20 AUD in EUR" (without quotes). ... You know, if you need money for a competition, try to sue your ...
I think what Stefan is trying to say is that none of us are going to take you seriously if you sign your e-mails as "Chewbacca Nibbles," and I agree with him. ...
... Yes, though my main point was that there's no European "dollar" and how to use google to convert. Sometimes I'm actually trying to be helpful. At least...
hey, quick question about m2 edges, often times (ive only been solving edges with my eyes open with this method so far) i get to the last 2 edges, and my...
These are just the comments from src code for an NxMxL scrambler: http://www.thewonderidiot.net/timer/scramble.html process of scramble: -Pick a random axis. ...
Weezer's New video of their hit "Pork and Beans" contain scenes of the cube. great video, salute to all that is nerdy, geeky, dorky etc. check it out yourself....
Wow! I can't believe how they blended into so many of the common videos! Numa, Numa. Chocolate Rain. Chris Crocker. Daft hands and bodies. Cubes at 2:52...
I was supposed to be in the video too but they decided not to use the part they recorded of me doing the cube. I did a bunch of 1h solves and some 2h stuff. ...
