Norwegian Rubik's Cube Championship 2012

Introduction

The Norwegian 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 solve one of the puzzles in the competition. There is no registration fee.

When, where, how

When: 18-19 February 2012.

Where: R2, 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, Værnesekspressen is decidedly the best option. Then, getting off at "Gløshaugen Syd" should land you pretty much right outside the venue.
