A super-quick update from the 2016 UK Rubik's comp in Bristol. It's minutes before I humiliate myself in the 3×3 competition. I am here because you funded me. This is all your fault.

I read rugby championship and i kept wondering what happened.. Good luck!

Timur Sultanov

I didn't fund that. Are all the donations not enough to hire a tutor? LOL

Mike Thomson

Good effort, Matt. Sadly the 10 year old I saw breaking 12 seconds has you whipped! An amazing group of talented folks across many ages - glad we popped in for a bit of spectating.

David de Kloet

Did you see him compete? Is there a video stream I missed?

Matt Parker

Thanks for coming by! Yes, I've been out-performed by many 10 year odds this weekend.

Timur Sultanov

I think no... That what the "sort of" thing is about

Matt Parker

No live stream sadly. We'll have the video up as soon as we can. I'll get a tutor for next time!

Matt Parker

That would be a very different event, which I would be possibly even less prepared for.

Rémy GRANDIN

Not to shabby ! (PS, your link give a 404 error in.... spanish ??)

Matt Parker

Link now fixed! Seems only the mobile version of that url works.

What brand of cube do you use and what algorithms do you use for solving? I used to have a ~40 second average with Gans357 but I think I'm over 2 minutes again with lack of practice.

Matt Parker

Hey, I was also using a GAN 357. Great cube. I'm using a beginner layer method (cross, corners, middle edges, top cross, position corners, orientate corners, position top edges). Which is why I cap-out at a minute. One day I'll learn intuitive F2L.

Thomas Robert Wade

Congrats on 162 out of 209. At least you were in the top 78%.

Doug Jones

One word: wow. I'm still unable to "solve" a cube without a crib sheet.
