I insulted a famous magician (well, in the magic circle) without even noticing him, glad he has a sense of humor

I was playing with my cube at a magic convention and suddenly behind me I hear "wait, you can really solve it?"
without looking up I said "all good magicians can do it."
He reacted "now I'm insulted"
Then I looked behind me and saw it was Gregory Wilson

NAR next? Someday, you'll get NAR for 4x4, FMC, and clock.
You beat my pb by 3 moves!

No one ever says that when I do good results.

I take that back, #rubik does.

I did a computer Gigaminx. It was 11:34 (second sub12, did a 11:57 yesterday). Good edges 795 moves (ftm) total.

Tried again today, 11:33 (838 moves), one second improvement ftw. (Nobody thinks this is impressive? really? give it a try )

I do! I will only comment when you get sub10 though (apart from this comment saying I won't comment)

Haha, sub-10, that would be like... 8:00 redux o_0 I don't know if that's doable or not. You'd have to be pretty beast at finding edges.

In other news, 1:47 computer megaminx. I think I still haven't gotten a sub2 on a real one...

Got Gold in the UK Senior Maths Challenge, and Best in School. I only got one question wrong (of those I answered) which turned out to be the second question on the paper. It was a really easy question, and I realised my mistake just as I left the room we did the test in.

 

[Escher]

Simon, i have come to realise that you are one of those really, really annoying people who are very, very good at everything...

 

[MTGjumper]

Did you do the UK Maths Challenge? If so, how did you fare?

Also, thanks

thats because you always get good results, and we'd get tired of saying it. Also, we expect you to already have some NARs, so get on it

 

[Escher]

nope, my old school didn't do any of that sort of thing...
ive only actually got interested in maths in the past year or two, during A levels. of which i chose non-maths/science based subjects.

hmm.

& i didnt do ANY work in gcse maths. as in, nothing. at all.
so i learnt the whole lot before my exam and got an A* in it...
but the coursework pushed it down a lot

Edit
i think ewan, jude and martin all did SMC recently in further maths, but i dont know what their results were or whether theyve got them back yet.
i doubt they all did badly, seeing as they all 90+% further maths last year.

I did my GSCE Drama exam today, I really wish I hadn't of took Drama, but it went well. I like acting but not performing.

 

[joey]

Eh? explain the difference between acting and performing?

i got gold once, two silvers and a bronze on other attempts. a complete joke because i suck at maths

Acting in general, but not in front of people, I am shy.

My record for longest time doing homework was 4PM to 1AM with only a dinner break and a shower break... All due next day.

 

[Escher]
