Well, we ran it over a Yahoo Instant Message group chat, so anyone could=20
jump in. Can't remember if it involved invites, but we could pick a=20
platform that allows that and I suppose even undeclared people could=20
race along with the rest and even win if everyone thinks that's fair.

Well, we ran it over a Yahoo Instant Message group chat, so anyone
could jump in. Can't remember if it involved invites, but we could
pick a platform that allows that and I suppose even undeclared
people could race along with the rest and even win if everyone
thinks that's fair.

So far three members have expressed interest in
participating in a new

speedsolving contest. (Yea!) We only need at least
one more. Even if you

know you can't possibly win, participating will
result in getting you an

official time. If this goes ahead, we'll schedule
it so that you will

have ample time to practice beforehand. The last
contest was a lot of

fun for everyone involved. Even if you don't
enter, you can still watch

the action. That turned out to be very exciting
and funny last time. And

of course there will be a prize, your choice of a
1-of-a-kind MC4D

T-shirt or mug!



So how about it? Are you willing to step out of
your comfort zone give

it a shot? It's been nearly 5 years since the last
one (has it really

been that long?), so it may be a long time before
you get another

chance. You can reply publicly or privately.
Please send your preferred

puzzle, settings, dates and times. We'll then
discuss off-line to select

the details that everyone is happy with.



Happy puzzling!
