Hi All :-) Personally i think only timed solving of 42 cubes, consecutively without inspection, should be called cubing marathon because the number 42 is involved. 42 cubes to be solved ;-)
Those other 2 categories should simply be called 1hr cubing and 24 hr cubing, so as not to confuse these 3 very different categories of cubing. Then there could also be 5 hr cubing, 12 hr cubing. So easy system :D Just my 2 NOK :-P -Per- > --- In [email protected], "Gilles Roux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Tyson suggested this format. > Proposing such a race in all competitions for many competitors is not > possible.
