Information

Herzlich Willkommen zur ersten Mental Breakdown Competition in Hannover. Wir freuen uns auf einen Tag voller geistiger Höchstleitungen mit euch.

Hinweis für Neulinge: Dieser Wettbewerb ist auf das Blindlösen von Zauberwürfeln und die Disziplin FMC (Lösen in möglichst wenig Zügen) fokussiert. Das "normale" Lösen mit offenen Augen wird bei diesem Wettkampf nicht angeboten. Bitte melde dich nur an, wenn du am Blindlösen und/oder in FMC teilnehmen möchtest. Ansonsten bist du natürlich gerne als Zuschauer willkommen.

Welcome to the first Mental Breakdown Competition in Hanover. We look forward to a day full of mental feats with you.

Note for newcomers: This competition focuses on blind solving of Rubik's cubes and the discipline FMC (solving in as few moves as possible). “Normal” solving with eyes open is not offered in this competition. Please only register if you want to participate in blind solving and/or FMC. Otherwise, you are of course welcome to attend as a spectator.
