UBING DARE: When did you started with cubing and why?
MAARTEN SMIT : I started cubing in February 2008. I had a keychain cube on my keys, and I felt annoyed by the fact that it was always scrambled... So I looked up a tutorial on internet and after about half an hour I knew how to solve it. At first it's hard to believe 足 you've been staring at the scrambled thing for so long that you don't even remember what it looks like when it's solved. Then (with great fear) I scrambled it again and set a stopwatch. The time was 6 minutes and 10 seconds.
CUBING DARE : How was your competition and what was your reactions.
first
MAARTEN SMIT: My first competition was Dutch Nationals 2008 (I think it was called Netherlands 2008 back then), and the most important thing I remember from that competition was being so amazed at the people who were solving blindfolded I wouldn't have guessed back then that I would get the NR in blindfolded later 8

MAARTEN SMIT: When I started bld足cubing I did. Remember when Ville Sepp辰nen was considered crazy? That's how long ago that was But nowadays the world top is swarmed with talents like Zane Carney, Daniel Sheppard, Marcell Endrey and others, so there is no way I'm going to get any world records in bld anymore...

CUBING DARE: How and why you started to play with Rubik's clock?
Favorite Number: 7
MAARTEN SMIT: You know, clock isn't really my favorite event, I actually think it's quite boring compared to other events. The reason I got so fast at it was just because it seemed so easy to get fast at it. I started with clock about 2 weeks before the Czech Open 2009, because that's when I bought it. At the

Aries (213/204)
June looks good for Aries. Mercury is in your sign until the 11th, use your skills for communication at the beginning of the month then. If you have a contract to sign, make it during that period of time too. Mars in Virgo is encouraging you to pay attention to details and be very organized. Uranus gives you insights to open up to new projects and to see instantly what is positive for you and it helps you to act immediately. Rate 8
Taurus (224/215)
Enjoy the positive effects of Jupiter in your sign before it goes away for 12 years. If you have any strong decision for a professional change then you have to hurry up as Lady Luck may leave you. Money is a protected area during the whole month, so if you want to invest, you are safe. You start having different friends in style, background or social milieu, it helps opening your mind and taking you out of your routine. Rate: 9
Gemini (225/216)
Venus stays another month in your sign and it gives good vibes to your love life. You get compliments whenever you go, because of your nice look, or your warm presence. Enjoy these moments where your sexappeal is high. If you are single, it is a good time to go out every night as your chances to meet somebody who would please you a lot are strong. Rate 8.5
Horoscope
Cancer (226/227)
You share many hours of hard work with your coworkers. Sometimes you have the feeling that they are like family as you get so close to them. It is hard for you to draw a line between professional and private because you need emotions and affection to move forward. You cannot work with people if there are only cold relationships. Rate 7
Leo (237/238)
Your social life is intense in June. Engagement parties, weddings, you are at the center of all the nice events happening around you. Without you it would not be complete, you are the soul of the best parties. At work, Mercury helps you negotiate some hard contracts and you win. What a satisfaction for your ego! You see also what could be a problem and you make steps to correct that immediately especially after June 11th. Rate 9
Virgo (248/239)
Libra (249/2310)
Venus makes your life easier as you are charming, engaging and in a good mood. You pay attention to your look too and you get compliments all day long and it is of course very encouraging to keep making efforts on the way you dress. Love is very good if you are in a romance already, you seem to feel the intensity from the very beginning. Rate 8.5
Scorpio (2410/2211)
If you are in a steady relationship, you will be talking about big subjects; like long –term commitment, baby, buying a house, starting a business together… you want to have projects and make sure you are aiming at the same direction at the same pace too. Some other Scorpios are engaging in a professional association and it is exciting for them as it looks like a new start. Ready for a change in their look, Scorpios ask for advice to make sure it will be for the best. Rate 8
Sagittarius Mars keeps bringing a special (2311/2112) energy to the Virgos. Anything that is hard to do is being done by them this month. Remodeling and painting your kitchen by yourself, driving a big truck to carry furniture, going to the gym every day or giving away all the clothes you don’t wear anymore… it looks like you have no limits. Rate 8
You feel overwhelmed by too many things happening at the same time and you don’t know how to prioritize. Should you spend more times with your friend who is getting married soon and need advice and support? If you mother worries for your father’s health do you need to call her every day? Do you make enough efforts to keep up at work? Rate 7
Capricorn (2212/201)
The planets are excellent for you and it is a great time for you Capricorns. Aim higher than ever, make plans for unusual activities, engage in relationships with people that are bright and bring in you the desire to progress and soar. If you decide to lose weight for a special occasion, it will work. Rate 9
Aquarium (211/192)
Family is important in June for the Aquarius. Family dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, weddings, you have the feeling that you need to be part of all of it and you will make efforts to assist to each of the invitations. You may have to cancel some friends and they will have the feeling that you are too busy. Rate 7.5
Piscies (202/203)
Neptune makes you feel more sensitive than ever and also more intuitive. You perceive things in people that you would not have guessed before. It helps you connect more deeply to them. Single, you may meet a new partner that is very intriguing for you. You feel close then distant and then close again. Rate 7
