Toronto Open Summer '09

[Dave Campbell]

Allow me to say what i forgot to say in the all the chaos. I didn't invent the mystery event, but was taught the ways by Tyson Mao and Adam Zamora. I have heard Tyson mention this before, and Adam and i had a whole conversation about it in Pittsburgh earlier this year. He proceeded to demonstrate it and immediately all the kids wanted to do it (this is with a cube cover and rolled up piece of paper, not the high class equipment that we brought!). So i knew it would be a hit.

I am glad everyone had a good time. Anthony, it was nice to meet you. You seem like a really cool guy, I'd love to see you back up here again some time. We don't plan on stopping any time soon, so if you can make it next year, i will be pleased to see you here again. Enjoy the rest of your time in Canada.

Congratulations to all our NR setters, and to Harris for reclaiming the NAR. You are a beast on the 3x3. It is a treat to be able to witness it.

It was nice meeting you, Anthony. Racing with you was fun.

11 straight 11 averages? Damn. How many white rubik's DIYs do you have now, Harris?

I demand the 2x2 scrambles.

I hate you, Harris. But congrats, and thanks for giving me extra motivation for US Nationals.

"Oh hey guys I'm Harris Chan I'm ABSOLUTELY INSANE"

But anyway...

Heh yes as I recall, everyone wanted to play with it the very first time I met everyone at the San Francisco Open in January. It was quite fun, and Adam was quite the expert.

I just registered, so sorry all you people

I will be visiting my aunt who lives in Canada and will be staying there for a while. So I thought why not break my previous sucky NRs? Lol

I still made it in time right?

I saw you during the 5x5x5 round.
I said "hi Nitrocan" a few times but you didn't hear me ._.

Oh, I'm sorry, I really didn't hear that. It was a better 5x5 round than I expected though. I'm happy to have succeeded the BLD too, but it was an extremely easy scramble. 4 corners were oriented and permuted correcly and one more was permuted correctly. The edges were normal.

BUT WHY DID I HAVE TO SUCK AT 3X3???

I was the one who was scrambling your 5x5x5

I messed up edges on the first BLD solve
I sucked at 3x3 too, especially in the finals

I demand the 2x2 scrambles.

David, you need leverage to make demands. Are there any hostages?

Requires a PDF reader, be sure to read the ReadMe.txt file to replicate the scramble in which you undoubtedly are interested.

Oh I remember this at CMU we didn't use it as an actual event but it was still really fun and funny to watch.

That 2x2 scramble is insane. As is Harris.

Thanks for the scrambles! Now my 5x5 single is better than my 4x4 single
My 4x4 sucked so I didn't compete in that.

LOL so YOU'RE Emily Wang. Congrats on your insane times... geez, fastest female canadian speedcuber much??

Harris has a BAJILLION because he usually wins more than just 3x3x3. =P

DUDE I didn't even realize you were there, I would have totally said hi to you, especially if my friend came (He's Cypriot and would have set NRs in anything he competed in, since there's STILL nobody from Cyprus who has registered in a competition yet)!!!

Ahh well, hopefully next time, or sometime soon.
