Caltech Winter 2010

From Facebook: Phillip Espinoza: "Is now the 9th fastest speedcuber in the world and 2nd fastest in the Western Hemisphere (excluding Scotland). 10.81 second avg."
Awesome, Phillip. :)
 
Did You Know:
- I left my house at 5 am yesterday morning to get on a bus to caltech?
- The bus schedule I had must've been wrong?
- I missed the competition and spent 7 hours total on and waiting for buses to get me back home?
- I need a freaking car?
 
Did you know that:
-I failed at 2x2?
-I'm ok at 3x3?
-Adam likes to change the cut-off to 15 seconds faster that what he originally said?
-Since Adam changed the cut-off, I didn't finish my 4x4 and 5x5 average?
-I bought a mysterious cube and today I realized it was a haiyan?
-I don't like white cubes, even thought it's an amazing haiyan?
-I now like solving clock?
-I won magic, again?
-I need to fix, and practice mastermagic?
-I need to practice square-1?
-Taiyan cubes are good?
-There is a thing called an "edison mood"?
-The 2x2 round 2 scrambles were insanely easy?
-Adam got a sub-5 average with LBL in 2x2?
-My grandparents car in which we drove in, is the best car ever made?
 
Lol, i want to go cus this is about 10 min away from my house, but I suck hardcore. Im sub 1 min on 3x3.

Don't let that be a reason for not attending. Plenty of people would kill to have a competition take place so close by. Nobody will point and laugh at you for being slow, and it's a fun experience. Definitely well worth it if it's only 10 minutes away.

someone laughed at my friends for being so slow at OH during thankscubing :p
 
-The 2x2 round 2 scrambles were insanely easy?
rawr.. I wish I had gone. :p[/QUOTE]

The first scramble was a ll skip. The second solve was a pll skip with an easy sune oll. The third solve had a really easy fast, trigger which allowed for an oll skip and an easy pbl. 4th solve had a 3 move face and an easy oll. 5th solve had another 3 move face. Too bad I failed in first round with 2 +2s.

Solve 1: The scramble wasn't "a ll skip". I'm assuming you mean that if you solved it a certain you would have had a skip. lol. I probably would have seen it. :p
Solve 2: "PLL skip." lol.
Solve 3: Sounds like SS. I probably would have seen that as well.
Solve 4 and 5: I can usually predict the entire solve (minus AUF sometimes) with 3 or less move faces.

Sounds nice. Do you know which group had these scrambles?

Well those comments are from the point of view of an ortega/lbl solver. And it was group 2.
 
Round 2 scrambles were:
1) F R F' U F R' F2 R2
2) F R2 F' R' U2 F U' F' U'
3) R' F2 R' F R' U' F2 U F2
4) F U' R2 U' F2 R F' U' F2 U2
5) R F2 U2 R' F' U' R U R'

Those were the ones Edward got.

Anyway, do you know which group Edward was in?

2) F R2 F' R' U2 F U' F' U'
3) R' F2 R' F R' U' F2 U F2

5) R F2 U2 R' F' U' R U R'

Those were the ones Edward got.
What was your average?
