Harrow Spring 2015 (February 28th-March 1st)

[Hssandwich]

At the end of the day, you podium'ed in an event, which is more than I and many others have done (yet ) so GJ

Btw, what event was it? Pyraminx?

I'm not sure, I think so.

Splendid competition. Thanks Ollie and Dan and James.

DYK:

• I've read Oscar and Jan's names so many times, in so many contexts. For some reason that made it seem surprising how normal and nice they both were.
• Jan helped me pronounce his surname correctly. Not at all how I'd expected it to be.
• I guess if I'd been able to stay longer on Sunday I'd have been able to take part in round 2 of OH, in spite of not getting an average on round 1.
• Mollerz and I went to the same school. About 20 years apart.
• Stepping outside with Adam while he "smoked" before MBLD probably did help, but not enough
• Ollie doesn't like it when you stack the cups on the scrambling table...
• Berd is as friendly and nice in person as he is on this forum
• He really seems to like lube
• I was very glad the OH cut-off got increased, but I still didn't manage an average

How'd I do against goals:

• Clock: Get an average YES
• 3x3: PB single and PB average YES
• 3BLD: a success NO :-(
• MBLD: 2/2 (yeah right) NO. I went for 3 and got 0.
• OH: PB single YES

I'm pretty happy about that, but one day I'm going to actually get a blindfold success, instead of just saying I'm going to...

2x2: sub 3.7 average, sub 3 single YES! 3.33 average, 2.11 single
3x3: sub 14 average, sub 12 single YES! 13.21 average, 11.50 single
4x4: sub minute average, sub 55 single I made it in my mind...
5x5: sub 2:30 average, sub 2:20 single YES! 1:58 single
6x6: sub 4:30 single lol, I went slower so I didn't have to do a mean
7x7: sub 8 single missed 7x7
Mega: sub 2:30 average, sub 2:10 single NO
Pyra: 3rd in Britain average, sub 4 single YES!(by 0.17)
Skewb: NR average (sub 5.3), sub 4.3 single got the single
Clock: sub 17 average, sub 14 single YES!
BLD: success :,(
MBLD: success 1/2
OH: sub 29 average, sub 25 single NO

I didn't do bad

Let it go. Let it go.

 

[Mollerz]

Let it go. Let it go.

Can't hold it back anymore.

 

[supercavitation]

Can't hold it back anymore.

Let it go. Let it go.

 

[scotzbhoy]

Let it go. Let it go.

Turn away and slam the door.

 

[DuffyEdge]

Turn away and slam the door.

I don't care, what they're going to say.

 

[~Adam~]

Let the storm rage on.

 

[Berd]

Let the storm rage on.

The cold never bothered me anyway...

 

[DuffyEdge]

I seem to have lost my black dayan 2x2, and was wondering if anyone accidentally picked it up?

Spoiler

The chorus ended, so I don't believe I broke the combo

We have it. It was announced twice. Noob.

Thanks I think I must have been busy when you did

(P.S James, for my fourth solve of Clock, the time was entered as 16.47 when it was actually 18.47. If you can change that, that'd be great )

Your scorecard looks like this:

Extra, 18.97, 19.65, DNF, Extra, 16.47, DNF.

So yeah...

 

[Myachii]

Clock: Sub-20 average, sub-15 single - Neither I didn't even get an average, and my best solve was 18.47
Skewb: Sub-20 average, sub-15 single - Sub-19 Average, and two low 14 second solves D
6x6: sub-4:30 average, sub-4 single - Sub-4 single, in fact even sub-3:45. It was enough to get me a sub-4 mean as well
2x2: sub-7 average, sub-5 single - Sub-4 single DD And two sub-6 averages yay!
Megaminx: sub-4 average - Sub-3 single, no average tho :?
4x4: sub-1 average, sub-55 single - SOO close to a sub-1 average (1:00.78) and I got a 53, 54 and 56 over two rounds
3BLD: 3 successes, sub-3 single - No sub-3 single, but I did get 2/2 attempts (I didn't have enough time for another unless it was sub-2 xD)

Overall, a very good competition. Clock was a giant failure, but other than that then I can't complain, especially now I have a 100% BLD success rate

Your scorecard looks like this:

Extra, 18.97, 19.65, DNF, Extra, 16.47, DNF.

So yeah...

huehuehue those timers were really playing up in the morning.
Is there no chance of getting the 16 changed to an 18?

 

[DuffyEdge]

Goals:
2x2 - sub 3 single
3x3 - sub 14 average
4x4 - sub 50 average
5x5 - sub 1:40 average
6x6 - sub 3:20 single
7x7 - sub 5:00 average
Skewb - sub 8 average
Clock - sub 8 average
MBLD - 5+ pts

2x2 - no. 3.00 single so pretty close I guess
3x3 - no. 14.21 average, not too pleased with this but at least it was a PB
4x4 - no. tbf I had DP in pretty much every solve
5x5 - no, but close enough. Plus I got a pretty fast single
6x6 - Yes, 3:02 single
7x7 - no, 7x7 wasn't great. I blame it being first thing in the morning.
Skewb - Yes (just)
Clock - no, but it's always great to deny CHJ of his podium by 0.01
MBLD - no, but I really should have got all 5 cubes, (accidentally swapped 2nd and 3rd cube during execution).

I really should have got all of these goals... but I'm still happy with my results overall
