Thanks a lot Rowe, but I think you're gonna improve the average way before I can beat 3.15 in comp ;)

I saw you text Dan at dinner, I didn't know you were texting him before that :p
 
So... did anyone happen to pick up a verizon/LG USB cell phone charger? The wire detaches from the plug/base?

And did you know:
  • We passed about 10 wrecks on the way to the competition due to weather (snow)?
  • Most cars won't fit under semis?
  • Bridges freeze before roadways?
  • We were almost in 3 wrecks? But Carson is a good driver?
  • DNF's don't count if they involve an oversized cube?
  • Chester doesn't know how old he is?
  • Shaden smells wonderful?
  • Carson is allergic to some kinds of antibiotics? And if there were a mystery event, we could have played connect the dots?
  • Shaden's GPS has a new top speed / high score?

-I started magic with a 1.6x and 1.7x and then Preston jinxed me and I got a 8+2= 10.x, a 4, and something else that was awful.
-Si Senor really should not do hamburgers (worst I think I ever had)
-Justin said the Si Senor quesadillas were good
-I should of gotten the quesadilla
-Si Senor took along time to get us our food
-I started off my 1st Round 3x3 average with a 15 and a 17 (pretty ok) and then failed
-I don't want to talk about the first round of 2x2 right now
-despite that I did not make the final I'm really happy that Justin got another round of 2x2
-I feel bad for Thompson though cause he didn't place in the final despite placing in the first "final"
-I signed up for 4x4 and Square-1 but ended up dropping them
-Nathan let me borrow his 2x2 because I lost and busted all the ones I had
-It was too loose
-It led to 3 plus 2's
-Now I'm done with talking about that awful round
-Andy asked for handwarmers before we left for CMU
-I said we wouldn't need them like we did last year cause there was no snow or anything
-In literally less than a minute it started snowing
-It was my first comp where I didn't use handwarmers before the comp
-I really want to go to Canada
-Maybe January if they have one
- I SAW SOMEONE SOLVE A RUBIX CUBE!
- There was a cube that had keyboard keys instead of stickers/tiles.
-You had to get numbers/words/numbers w/ symbols/ words/ F#'s and I forget what else on their own sides
-I plan on learning EG over Christmas break because I saw the awesomeness of Justin's solves
-there will most likely be more dyk's to come

just send it to me in an email. I PM'd you.
 
Did you know:

-This is my first post here after 3 competitions and a year or so of lurking.
-My 2x2 is awesome, don't listen to Edmund.
-One blindsolve was off by 2 flipped edges, and another off by 2 twisted corners.
-That makes 7 consecutive BLD DNF's, I think I'm going to learn M2.
-The 4x4 and 5x5 cut-offs were pretty easy (compared to the 1:10 4x4 cut-off at UPenn last year).
-I missed the 3x3 final by 4 spots.
-I really should get my 3x3 average under 20 seconds.
-I would like to thank all the judges/scramblers/organizers that made this competition run smoothly.
