Allard's blog just achieved a milestone (well, for me anyway! I didn't think anyone would be amused by my rubbish writing) - over a thousand page-views passed today - since starting at the end of Feb ... (and I promise I'm not counting my own!) - thanks for dropping by, guys (and gals)...

Interestingly some of the hits are coming from searches on odd phrases like: "revomaze bronze map", "revomaze bronze", "revomaze bronze dynamic" and "blue revomaze solution map" - guess there are some disappointed readers of my blog as well then! ;)

It's funny, as I started the stats tracking on my blog recently, and since putting up the Revomaze 'series so far' post, the hits searching for Bronze hint or Bronze open map have jumped. I have no idea what will happen over the next 4 days as each of my reviews of the Blue, Green, Bronze and Silver go up one after the other. I'm really starting to like Wordpress, and the extra control I have over what goes on. The customisability is incredible.

Two things happened to coincide last week:
[1] I realised I'd been ignoring twisty puzzles for too long, and
[2] Kayleb's Corner had a bit of a sale...

...the rest is predictable!

At this rate I think we're going to have to make the MPP a 3 day event like the IPP! :lol:

Just thought it worth mentioning that Jerry McFarland is now selling the Burrcube 1 puzzle that Allard reviewed a couple of weeks ago. Got a quick look at MPP2 at the puzzle which looks very nice and Jerry is offering them at a reasonable price Inc shipping (and still includes shipping to the UK at the same price!).

Have ordered one myself which will go very nicely with the box burrs I have on the way from Eric at the moment.
Open = Green, Blue, Bronze, Red, Black, Black V2, resting = Silver, started = Gold, ready for when Gold gets too much = Orange.

It's been nearly a week Allard since your last blog update - illness?

Where is Rosebud, SuperNova, Windmill Burr, Siamese Locked Nest?

I know Brian has beat you to it with Opening Bat but bet you could still add something more with your own review?

And bet you have more on the way?
