Indiana Winter 2010

[DavidWoner]

I think they were all A-Vs and A-IIs.

Your average is way too close to mine now >:[

And tropicalestore is out of stock, so unless they get more soon I am in trouble if I go to Iowa.

 

[RyanO]

I've never tried a tropicalstore pyraminx. I use a Mefferts. 7.69 was a really good average for me, so you'll probably beat me at Iowa. Hopefully I'll be fast enough to get sub 8 consistently by then though.

 

[hatter]

I had a lot of fun. I averaged 29, which is better than average at home.

I was really embarrassed because my white side was stickerless, and I didn't realize every side had to be stickered. I knew this was the rule, but I guess I hadn't put it together. I'm definitely looking forward to the next indy competition!


Mike, you did a fantastic job. thanks!

 

[Dave Campbell]

I just wanted to thank Mike and his team for doing a great job at hosting a quality competition. It is always an enjoyable time when i get to hang out with Jim, Shaden, Dan, Carson, Mike and now, of course, Chester. Thanks to you guys, too, for providing a memorable experience. And hey, i did alright for once.

Is this Kyle? Did you end up stickering your cube or using an FII?

Agreed. I had a wonderful time too! I'm still trying to catch up on all the lost sleep, but it was worth it.

And Dave, I really did mean it when I said I'd like to make it to a competition in Canada sometime soon. We'll probably have to wait until after US Nationals, but if I have enough vacation time after that, perhaps we can make the next one after that.

Ditto! I took a 4 hour nap Sunday evening, was up for a few minutes, then it was back to bed for another 8 hours.

I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we really appreciate the turnout that we have seen at all of our contests. We have had plenty of experienced cubers, as well as many new faces. The networking cubing creates is amazing in my opinion.

Time for mine....

Did you know?
-I sold a lot of cubes?
-There was this cool French guy who had a bunch of cool puzzles?
-The French guy also had a 11x11, 9x9, and more amazing puzzles?
-I failed at magic again?
-I did awesome at 3x3?
-I did awesome at 2x2?
-Thrawst was there?
-Chester was giving out free stickers?
-The "Famous Deaf Cuber" was there?
-Dan Cohen was selling a Type A-V for $25?

i think there were 2 deaf cubers, but i know what your talkin about

 

[hatter]

Is this Kyle? Did you end up stickering your cube or using an FII?

Nope, not Kyle. My name is Allison and someone ended up giving me stickers because I use Japanese color scheme and we didn't know anyone else there who did.

I couldn't believe how nice everyone at the competition was. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

[hatter]

ha. Yeah, I was one of the few girls there. I was for sure the oldest girl and was definitely out numbered! =]

You did great for your first contest... actually, that was pretty good for any contest...

Sorry about the sticker issue...

And you should get an award for not spamming the forum. 8 posts in over 2.5 years? wow!

Catching up on sleep is for old people.. oh wait.

I heard Rachel was crazy still, good to hear.

About the canada comp.. I'm probably going to the one that should be around Nats time.. you should make it to that one.

Hmmm, we'll have to see. We have a very specific commitment the weekend before Nationals, so hopefully it's not then. If it's after Nationals, there's definitely a possibility.

And yeah, Rachel is still crazy.

For those that might remember the random kid asking help for putting the 2x2 back together, I finally got it back together last night! And thank you Tristan/Thrawt for letting me use yours

Carson did you upload all your video footage anywhere? I noticed you were recording the whole bop it deal, and I'm sure that's not all you recorded

I'm pretty sure I broke one of the corners...

That was Chester. He and i were the scramblers at that time. Chester is a stand up guy like that.

It is true. Though not announced officially, it has been cleared with the WCA and the venue has been booked. It is the weekend following the US Nationals, Saturday, August 14. But keep this just between us for now. Oh, wait a second...

If it's after Nationals, there's definitely a possibility.

I was serious about my offer. You let me know what event.

Are you Jason? I didn't really recognize too many people there from the forums since I don't know real names. But no you didn't "break" it really. You did break a tab off from inside the corner but that doesn't affect it any. The corner slides back down onto the piece that goes inside the puzzle, and I can still slide it off but it works just fine now.

Also I'm curious as to what kind of 2x2 I actually have. I should have taken pictures of it apart. I sure don't want to take it apart again, but man, I'm really curious. If anybody can help me it'd be great. There aren't any springs or screws in this one, one of the corners is permanently molded onto the main "core", there are several little pieces that fit between the 8 actual cubies, and the would be screws are little round pieces with a clip on the end. I realize that wasn't a great description :/ Without pictures I'm not sure how much better I could do.

@fatboyxpc Your 2x2 sounds like an eastsheen
