Daniel Sheppard 3*3 final: 4:59.xx single

Lol, explanation please?!

Well my first 4 times were something like 19, 20 17, DNF (it would have been 20 but I had given up by then so just DNFed). Thought I might as well have some fun on 5th solve. Can't remember exactly what I messed about with, but it involved some CP corners, M2 edges, slow-turning PLL attack (took ages to remember them all), about 30 U-perms, scrambled and raced Rowan (I got F2L headstart (of course I won (apart from that I left AUF))). That was about it. Part of the reason I was rubbish at 3x3 was because I had just done multi followed by 5x5bld straight away, so my brain was a little frazzled

Daniel is cool (especially when showing hot girls solving cubes)

What an interesting reputation I have...I hope that's not the lasting memory you have of me! :confused:

dedication to chris ness for being a great competitor

not much happened in clock
feel sorry for james and tom barlow as master magic didn't go too well

erik almost got a sub ten average
rob got a 10xx average
the 2x2 standard was amazing everyone but one person in the final was sub 4

I dont think pyraminx went too well for many people
Dan mucklow "what pyraminx method do you use?"
Rowan "the rowan method"

sorry for bad spelling

Oliver lost his WR..that's what happened

Pyra went well for me...Charlie didn't beat my NR single (5.86 is a bit close though). At least I have a sub-10 average now as well

megaminx NR!!!!!!
dedication to chris ness for being a great competitor

Haha, thanks, but I never would have counted my self as a competitor, I just wanted someone (anyone) to take the NR from Dan cos his record was really old and slow so yeh, congrats they are nice times! You will need to do a lot better though if you want to keep the record for as long as Dan

Besides, everyone knows the only event I practIced for this comp was OH. Hours and hours of it...

That used to be the main reason to why I wanted to compete in 3x3x3 more than any other event, but then Breandan come along...

Very nice competition !!
I was really excited by the world class level there was in 2x2. Had to do my best to win this. And congrats Rowan for your average in the 1st round.

Special thanks to Charlie, Mickael and Lars for the organisation and Daniel for the hostel reservation.

You are right, you had trouble to carry yourself home. Good point for you, I was here.
But, ok, I accept to thank you.
