Matt,
you beat me there. I’ve got my t-shirt about an hour ago and uploaded the photo only now: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/4D_Cubing/photos/album/1928657865/pic/2147048768/view . Nice t-shirt, thanks to Melinda. My problem is that I never can select the proper size for me…

Andrey

BTW: your link doesn’t work.

Not only that, but there was an article in the newspaper on the second day, and there was a picture of me there, with the t-shirt on! Slight problem, the front of the t-shirt isn’t really visible. In my defence I didn’t know I was having my photo taken or that it would end up in the paper, especially since I didn’t win anything, and was wearing a blindfold at the time (amusingly I didn’t even get any successes at blindsolving). Picture can be found here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/rubiks-cube-six-sides-54-squares-just-seconds-to-solve-2127350.html?action=Gallery&ino=2. Results will be on WCA soon for those interested (13.96 single on 3x3x3, 1:58.58 single on 5x5x5 and 2:09.88 single and 2:11.xx average on megaminx for the highlights, assuming I remembered correctly).

I did however find out that someone else at the competition had solved the 3^4 a couple of years ago: Daniel Sheppard. Another competitor (Thom Barlow) said he had looked at it before, but hadn’t put in the effort to solve it, although I get the feeling he might one day.
