Default Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

Okay, I've figured out how to use screen recorder, and I understood a cube tutorial. I'll probably spend tomorrow memorising it and making a video, or at least writing everything down.

I've always wanted an excuse to learn the Rubik's cube.

Feedback for Rubix:

Difficulty - I'd say 2 or 3. It was three hours of slog to get 4 of the first 6, although some were much easier than others. That fact that only 5 or so people have solved it so far probably tells you it was pretty tricky.

Fairness - 10. It was hard, yes, but nothing that couldn't be worked out logically/mathematically. No background knowledge was needed, which is the sign of a good logic puzzle.

Fun Rating - 9. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge, although staring at one puzzle for over an hour without getting anywhere was a test of my sanity. Good thing I think sanity is overrated.

I'm looking forward to the next mental challenge.
