Rubik's Cube Competition

Hello ladies and Gentlemen!

Tonight, I present to you guys more details about our first competition, the Rubik's Cubes Contest!

So fellow Rafflesians, if you have been naughty recently and gotten your cubes confiscated, now would be a good time to try and talk the teacher out of holding on to your precious squares of mathematical logic.

With more and more students playing with Rubik's Cubes these days, these cubes are springing up more and more everywhere, from the tabletops of hyperactive students to the decorations of the teacher's staff rooms, providing a testament to the popularity of this uniquely Rafflesian toy.

Anyway, back to the contest!

Venue
School Canteen
Time
Both Recesses
What to bring
Your own 3x3 rubik's cube (if you have. we have spares for those who dont). It would be helpful if it was pre-solved, as we will be jumbling up all the cubes in the same way to ensure that the contest is fair.
What to expect
We will give you back your cube all jumbled out, and your timing will start. The time ends when you completely solves the cube. The 8 fastest solvers will qualify for the finals on Fabulous Friday, where it will be a intense competitive round.
Format
We will be jumbling up your cube with 40 different moves and thereby handing it back to you. After which, you have 15 seconds to look at it before your time begins. There will only be 1 time taken. Aim to the fastest 8 to qualify for finals on Fri!
Prizes!!!
1st Place: Title of fastest Rubik's Cube Solver in RI, limited edition cube!
2nd Place: Cube Lubricant ( so that you can solve faster next time =P)
3rd Place: Cube stickers
Plus the top 5 places gets wristbands!

So, till next time, happy memorising of cube sequences!
