Contest

Cube2Cash
Cube2Cash
Hello everyone,

The Houston Cubing Association is starting a new Cube2Cash program, in which donated cubes are given away to cubers (just like you) and all the collected money will be given to the Ronald Mcdonald House Houston The cubes that are being given away are 4 Type A I cubes, generously donated by the Haiyan Zhuang, current World Record holder of the 3x3 Blindfold solve and the webmaster of http://www.cubehaiyan.com

How the Contest works:

There are 4 cubes that are going to be given away in the contest. That means that you have 4 chances to win a Type A I cube ( 1st 10 people only, everyone else gets 2). Each entry is only $2. You can pay by cash or by PayPal. If you want to pay by cash, please PM or email me, and I will give you my home address. Mail the money to my address, and PM or email me with your name, amount sent, address, and email. If you choose to pay by PayPal, send the payment via PayPal and PM or email me your name, your email, and the amount sent. The PayPal address is hcainfo@sbcglobal.net. PayPal users: In the statement, mention that this is a charity event organized by the Houston Cubing Association. After receiving your payment by either cash or PayPal, I will assign you a specific number and inform you that I have received your payment. PayPal users: if you do not receive a confirmation email/ PM in 48 to 72 hours, I probably did not receive your payment and your entry will not be counted (for mail payments it may take some time for the mail to get to me, so it could be 2 or more weeks depending on where you live). Please PM or email me again asking me if I got your payment if enough time has elapsed ( Paypal: 48 to 72 hours and Mail: 2 or more weeks depending on where you live).

After the contest is over ( The date set right now is July 6th), I will film the drawing of the winners and put it on my YouTube Channel. I will use my calculator to generate random numbers and will choose the 8th number generated as the winner. I will do this 4 times to get all the winning numbers. Please note that if you win one cube, you cannot win another one.

Have fun and thanks for your support!

-Aditya Dargan, Founder and President of the Houston Cubing Association

P.S. My email is aditya(at)cubegeek(dot)net if you prefer to email me rather than using PM on the forum. Thank you, Mr. Haiyan Zhaung for donating the cubes.

-DON'T RUSH YOUR MEMO. Memorization comes naturally with practice. Take as long as you need. Slowly you will begin to get faster, you don't have to rush. Once you get sub-1:30 memo times, then you can start rushing a little, but otherwise don't.

 

-GO FAST AND THINK AHEAD. This is the equivalent of Go slow and look ahead for F2L of regular solving. You want to go quickly, but leave time to think about the next piece you are solving. It always slows you down when you have to pause between shooting to pieces while you think, "Do I shoot to LU next?"

 

-PRACTICE. This one is obvious. The more you practice, the faster you are.

 

-PRACTICE INDIVIDUAL STEPS SEPARATELY. I do this all the time, and this is how I became extremely fast at memo. Time yourself on "memo-only" or "execution-only" or "edges-only" or "corners-only"
