canadianCUBING Classic 2009

[Zaxef]

Did you know..
- I have the most inconsistent times of all the competitors? (3x3)
- I had never solved a 2x2 in my life before the day of the competition
- I had never solved a 4x4 either!
- My 5x5 times were only ~20 seconds slower than my 4x4 :|

did you just learn the 4x4 parities that day? XD

I have a 6x6 so I knew the algs... the OLL parity is on 5x5/7x7 too so I knew that one, but I only know the one other parity alg for 4x4, the PLL edge swap one..
I'm slowly getting used to the 4x4 now, I replaced the tiles with stickers and I'm getting my times down a little bit at a time

I need to learn all the 4x4 Parity Algs, 5x5 Last Edge Algs, and full OLL by Canadian Open, hopefully :|

-Daniel (Zaxef) is a pretty cool guy.

-I suspected who Zaxef was for a while, and was debating with Thompson whether or not to call out his name? When I did, he turned to someone and said "Oh, he was right here all along."? XD (I was selling him a 2x2)

Lol I was looking at people's nametags.. I felt so creepy.. and I looked at you like 10 times.. I figured you heard me telling my mom I was looking for someone to buy a 2x2 from
Thanks again btw

Yay I have a WCA profile now

Overall, for my first competition, I'm quite pleased.. My 2x2 and 4x4 times weren't that great, and some of my 3x3 times were horrendous, but I still got around my usual 26-28 average on some solves where I wasn't REALLY nervous or messing up (see 1:01.33 solve LOL -_-)... but my 5x5 is right around what I average so I was really pleased with that one..
Solving beside Harris Chan made me really nervous on the second solve though haha

you know there were like, 4 daniels at the comp. so every time the judge called "daniel" we all turned

Lol yes that was getting pretty funny.. but eventually they figured out who was who.. apparently my last name is hard to say.. almost every judge asked how to pronounce it
I've never had people have trouble with it lol :|
