Norwegian Open 2010

Introduction

The Norwegian Open Rubik's Cube Championship will be held at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. This is a casual event and the only requirement for participating is that you try to solve one of the puzzles in the competition. There is no admission fee, the winners of the 3x3x3 event receives prices and everybody gets free pizza. Also, the first 55 participants get a free t-shirt.

When, where, how

When: 13-14 February.

Where: The building of natural sciences (Realfagbygget), Gløshaugen campus, Trondheim, Norway.Maps and directions.

How: For international guests, you can get to Trondheim airport (TRD) from Oslo airport (OSL) with Norwegian, which is probably the cheapest option. Some international carriers offer flights directly to Værnes, most notably KLM from Amsterdam.

To get from the airport to the city, the Airport Shuttle is decidedly the best option. Getting off at "Prof. Brochsgt." should land you within five minutes of walking to the venue. See the maps page.

We provide lodging at a local school. This will probably be free, but there might be a small fee. If you bring friends or family that do not participate, but that would like to stay with you at the school, the cost is 150 NOK and you will have to mail us beforehand.
