Are people for or against mental challenges?

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

I'm for it as long as they don't require immense amounts of time and logical thinking to figure out.

If you do a tournament of just FFR, the same people are going win like always, so it'd definitely better to throw in a mix of stuff so more people have a chance to win.

smartdude the escape question I posed is really easy to figure out in like a matter of minutes if you wish to show mathematically how to do it. There are many solutions -- Tass had one solution in like 20 seconds that was perfectly valid.

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

Well I think what I will do is allow a list of possible prizes for people, where they can either choose things like subs/cash/keyboards/whatever/etc, and the lower your rank is, the smaller the list becomes

Solution found. Ironically by the person with the problem in the first place.

I didnt participate in the last Omni-pwn on the sheer fact that I already have a metal pad for DDR, I didnt really need a second one on the off chance that I would have won. By suppling a list of possible prizes, I'm certain you'd find a much wider range of people joining if there is something they like on said list.

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

you still didn't like my perfectly valid solution though.... you wanted it more precise, or something like that.

regardless, you know i'm all for mentals. you make excellent puzzles... they are a pleasure to solve, although often highly frustrating as well.

I like the rubik's cubes. Make sure they're signed too, especially if they're store bought ones. Cubesmith stickers so that they won't start peeling on us?

And I really wanted the Cobalt Flux for the last tournament, too. It's just that the whole thing didn't really fit my schedule. I was pretty busy, and often I had activities to participate in while the events were starting, so I just gave up on the whole thing. So yes, get rid of the time-based challenges.

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

All my cubes have good stickers. They won't be peeling any time soon. A few cubes have cubesmith stickers, while other cubes are Eastsheen brand (aka very high quality). Some of these cubes I've had for years and the stickers aren't going to come off any time soon. The standard Rubik's brand stickers are really crappy so I avoid those at all costs, lol. The plastic membranes peel off too soon and the colors fade away.

Eastsheen? So what, you're giving away 2x2, 4x4, or 5x5 cubes as well? Haha, I'd participate just for a signed 3x3. :P

Lol still, I don't think cubes would excite many people.

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

my 5x5 is in awful shape... it's missing about 4 little plastic squares, and 2-3 others are glued back on. stickers are starting to peel on my 4x4 too.

[MrRubix]

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

Again, prizes would be in the form of a list. Winners can pick and choose

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

Aw, that's a sweet idea. Sorry, must've missed it in the rest of the forum. Hope I check back enough so that I know when this thing starts.

Will this thing cut into Summer? I'll have more time to do this when I'm out of school.

Re: What kind of prizes would give you incentive to participate?

I plan to start the tournament in June
