I hate pyraminx too, and I made it to finals. Many people can confirm this too if you don't believe that I hate pyraminx :POriginally Posted by AustinReed
I'm going to see if I can get the results on the website, but I have to sort some things out first.
Oh gosh, it must have been terrible then xD
By the way, I was told by Calvin Le and Dan Sarnelli that an announcer said, "Can Zach Goldman please come up on stage?" What was that about? haha
First of all, I want to thank Tyson, Tim, and all of the staff for an amazing competition. There were a few quirks, but overall this has been the best nationals yet. The venue was amazing, and I'm excited for next year!
So now, without further ado,
Did you know...
...that Brest is awesome?
...really, really awesome?
...that Las Vegas is hot?
...really, really hot?
...even at night?
...I DNFed my last solve in 3x3 first round because I didn't start the timer, and still got a PB average with a counting sup20
...I did the same exact thing in Square-1 finals, DNFing the second solve but still winning with a counting 22
...every cube I own has popped on me multiple times this weekend
...Breandan has walked 30 minutes in the hot sun to get taco bell, at least 3 times this weekend.
...Rowe lost 40 lbs eating nothing but beefy crunch burritos
...Weston is bald
...I narrowly avoided Rowe and Anthony's fate because my card was declined
...Rowe punched Thom in the face
...I got free pizza by giving the girl in the food court a cube
...more to come later, breakfast now.
There were two groups.
Group A- F D2 F' D2 F' L2 F U2 F' U' B' U2 R' D B F D' L' F U2
Group B- R D L F R' F' B' D2 F R2 D' L2 B2 D F2 U' R2 D' L2 D'
Not sure which one you need but it was certainly one of those two.
Can I get the first and third scrambles for 3x3 2nd round. I was in the fast heat (probably heat 6), with Yumu, Rowe, Austin Moore, etc.
thanks
About to board my flight so if these aren't right we'll make the scrambles available somewhere else when I get home.
1) R2 U2 L2 U' F2 D' B2 R2 U L2 R2 F' L B2 U2 B' L' U' R D2
3)U2 L2 R' U2 F2 L D2 F2 D B L2 R' U L' R' U2 F2 R
I'm gonna try this...
Did you know
-Weston was bald?
...But 10 minutes later he wasn't?
.....Someone legit thought I thought Weston was bald?
-Also Weston told me no Koreans?
-I'm Korean?
-This was the first time Big Green, Ravi, David and I have been in the same room since 2009?
...I wanted us to have a name, so we are the 'Elite Four' like Pokemon?
-While racing Big Green, every time I would sub9 he would sub8?
-While racing Ravi, he beat me numerous times by only .02?
-Rowe gave me his lanyard for being an awesome camera man?
-Rowe also thinks I'm racist(but not really)?
-Being 20 in Vegas isn't as fun as being 21?
-I only wanted to make finals so I could have a Childish Gambino song be my intro song?
-This is the first time I have beaten Chris in years?
-It took five of us to do a T Perm in 30 seconds?
-Thom likes to cover people's cubes while they solve them?
...Thom also took one of my edge pieces in the middle of a timed solve at dinner Sunday night?
.....So I stuck my thumb in the edge slot to continue the solve?
.......and when I finally finished, Thom hit reset on the timer?
-I was mean to John for wearing a 'Cardinals' shirt everyday?
-Anthony is a really good friend?
-David and I need to coordinate better with flights?
-Andrew and David told me I didn't make finals because I wasn't going to use 'Bowser's Castle' as my intro if I did make it?
-Andrew told me that he has no videos of him solving Square 1 so I recorded his average in the finals?
-Chester is the best person to be with in Vegas?
-EVERYONE hates my color scheme?
I'll add more if I remember
