Weekly competition 2009-31

I didn't DNF the magic average, it was a 1.03.

Sorry.
You most certainly did not as I can see. Corrected now.

The result program cannot read .93, you have to enter 0.93.
I'll see if it is easy to change/correct that. It is only in Magic (and possibly 2x2 then)
that this is relevant.

There has been a big mistake.
These are the BLD times I have posted.

3x3 BLD :
(2:54.89), 2:54.31, (2:29.65)

It says 1:38:00 Please correct it.

Hmmm. I could not understand this bug (as we have seen, this program will never be free of bugs ).
But I realize now what has happened. Parentheses are handled different in events with best of three
as opposed to average of five. In blind events (best of three) times in parentheses are ignored.
So the program continues to look at the next lines and finds 1:38 (which happened to be the calendar time
of your post ) and uses it as your 3x3x3 BLD time! Funny

So next time, please remove your parentheses, they are usually used in blind events to mark memorization times. Like this, perhaps:
3x3 BLD : 2:54.89, 2:54.31, 2:29.65
or
3x3 BLD : 2:54.89, 2:54.31, 2:29.65 = 2:29.65

But I'll try to put a warning in my program for this. Sorry!!

Sometimes there is quite a big difference between 1st and 2nd place

Clock(7)

1. 6.83 Vault312
2. 17.89 Tim Reynolds
3. 18.36 AvGalen

I'm am fairly certain I have won by a larger margin/ratio in the past (8 vs 25 or something like that).

I'm am actually most surprised/pleased by my 3BLD results. I did all BLD events in one night, and after that terrible 4BLD and 0/2 I wasn't expecting anything good. Then I got a 2:14 and was less than 6 seconds away from beating Mike and winning! I didn't actually DNF the last 2 scrambles, I looked at them and just stopped the timer because they didn't look easy enough to beat 2:14 .

And I beat Piotr in sq-1 .

Umm...looking back, I feel I should be 3rd at multiBLD

Ooh, just saw the results. And Guus is back!

It's not everyday one can claim to have beaten THE Guus Razoux-Schultz by a grand total of 6 moves No offense Guus, just me being happy
