Cube Problem

I have a major problem on my hands right now.  I ordered cubes for the 
exploratorium... except they were sent to Pasadena instead of San 
Francisco.  They should arrive in Pasadena on Thursday morning.  If 
you're driving up from Southern California and can bring cubes up for 
me, please let me know immediately.

Sudoku Cube

A Sudoku puzzle uses the numbers 1-9.  It gives you some numbers and
then you have use your head to figure out the rest.  On a Sudokube,
all the numbers that you can use are given to you.  In a nut shell,
use the method that we first taught you in math class.  This will take
a lot more time as you have to be checking to make sure you don't
repeat numbers on sides.  Just do each layer individually and take
your time while watching what numbers your using.  Remember that the
numbers that they give you are the only ones that can be used so the
possibilities, while still tremendous, are fewer than if you had to
put your own numbers in.  This will seem much harder as there are no
colors to identify with, but other than that, it's a regular 3x3x3. 
By the way, are you still up for the competition on August 12th?  Send
me an email and I'll give you the club members' details of what time
and such.

him to get your food or drink out of the fridge for you.  You will not
be allowed on the kitchen yourself.  Find myself or another club
member!  Be sure that your name is clearly written on the food or
drink!  We will not be responsible for this!

Re: San Clemente High School Rubik's Club's First Competition

I'll be in New York, but I wish all of you good luck.  I would 
recommend canceling the 3x3x3 Speed Solve (all rounds) in favor of the 
mystery puzzle competition.
