MPP6 - Saturday 2nd June 2012

[a-maze-ing]

Ali, please bring the Chiaro bolts again.
Chris, please bring the 1C again (persistence or perseverance, whatever).
Kevin, please bring some wire puzzles, including brontosaurus, whale, yak, pendulum, pentangle. Not that I think to solve them all, but I would like to have a go and find out what a level 10 wire puzzle feels like.

I will bring along my self made bookbox puzzle (from MPP3 I believe) and an
improved a-mazing box.

Wil has already claimed space in my hand baggage to get all his stuff along, we will be leaving in 12 hours, this is going to be a great weekend!

The Dutch Duo has landed safely. Now waiting for many kilo's of puzzles to show up... This is going to be a great weekend, see (some of) you tomorrow!

(cola bottles in hand baggage are a great way to get attention at an airport!)

Look forward to seeing you both tomorrow (after I've been to see Prometheus tonight!!!)

Rocky bolts are packed!
A small selection of random puzzles packed.

Louis - glad you are bringing both the 'amazing' puzzles, they are both fun!!

It will be great to catch up with all tomorrow.

I have packed a fairly decent selection of wire puzzles - I do seem to have made a name for myself with these. I have also added a few interesting twisties that can be solved with thought rather than algorithms and 1 or 2 with interesting movements. I have also grabbed a few that others may not have played with.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

My box is now also packed up and ready to go!

Best try and get some sleep now I guess. Can't wait to catch up with you guys!

...anyone got that optical illusion of the two boxes where the same piece fits both places in spite of the apparently different shapes? Chris ...?

(Louis is keen to have a closer look at it)

What a superb day!

Once again thanks Nigel for the great organisation of what proved to be another
perfect event.

Thanks to all those who made it. It certainly was great to see new faces and loads of new puzzles.

A huge thanks also to Allard, Gill and Chris for an evening of BBQ and a feast for all the hungry puzzlers.

There are a couple of guys that might have the same coments ringing in thier ears......."have you tried spinning it?" or "have you blown on it yet?" and many more red herrings

You are a great bunch, thanks for a great day!!!

Ps Allard, #6 MG Bolt is done

I couldn't agree more! This was a day to be remembered! So many new puzzles so much fun. The food was great as well as the puzzling!

As for the "helpful comments" - I tried all the suggestions and none of them worked! I suspect that someone was trying to make me look foolish! I can't help it if I am an amateur at this puzzling business! I also have said on my blog that I am not very bright and I proved it today. Although I solved at least 8 or 10 puzzles today!

Thanks again everyone!
