Nebraska Open

...so Cyrus learned the hard way you shouldn't just take a DNF in the first round on a pop and assume you won't DNF in the future?

Yes.

I think Riley Thurm was third with another 13.xx average.
Nope, I have the third place in 3x3x3 certificate, I think I won it.
Riley left 2x2x2 and 3x3x3 certificates in my car.
I'll get some DYKs up later. That drive took forever.
 
I was first (10.15, 9.44, 12.90, 13.02, 9.86+2 => 11.64), Waris was second (13.xx, after winning round 2 with an 11.81 avg), and I think Riley Thurm was third with another 13.xx average.

Wow, you would've had a sub-11 (10.97) avg of it weren't for that +2.

And if you're going by your way of measuring speed, you would've had a 10.15 avg.

Were those fast solves normal solves for you or easy/lucky?
 
Did you know....

...The luxurious Ramada Inn is the best hotel Riley or I have ever stayed at?
...Dan Cohen has cancer?
...Emma Logan placed higher than I did in 3x3x3?
...John Brechon has been accepted into "The Homie Gang?"

I thought that was reThinking the Cube's idea? My proposal, the mean average, would have given me a result of (12.40 + 12.72 + 11.64)/3 = 12.25 (or 12.03 without the penalty).

I would call them fast normal solves. I've been averaging in the high 11 range since switching from a storebought cube to an FII last Wednesday, so 11.64 is only a little better than average. I don't think I had any lucky times throughout the competition. (What annoyed me was that I was getting some insanely fast runs while warming up at the comp. I remember having something like 9.06 9.xx 11.7x 10.00 9.50 10.06 11.xx shortly after the first round of 3x3. I also had three or four 8s while warming up, two of which were immediately preceded by 9s. But I still get too many 13+ solves.)
