Vidar Open/Berkeley Spring 2011 (04.17.2011)

[Vincents]

Did you know...

I fell off the stage and onto my hip... But I didn't realize I had fallen until I was on the ground already, because I was just kind of wondering where the floor was and trying to step on it on my way down?
I was ridiculously tired coming in, and even more ridiculously tired going out, which led to me falling asleep on a book at 9 pm and not waking up until noon the next day?
I got an 8.55 on the solve with a 2x2x2 block/pair formed due to dumb luck (PLL skip)?
I got an incorrect scramble on solve 2 and 4 of finals?
Johanne's cake was AWESOME?
There will be no Berkeley Summer?

Did you know...

I DNF'd all the BLD solves?
I didn't recognise Mr. Petrus until I walked away from him as he was trying to pay for parking?
I wanted sub-17 first round, and I got 17.01?
There were like 75 competitors for 3x3?
Feet was AWESOME?
Ravi got a feet pop on a GuHong, corner and edge?
The corner disassembled itself in Ravi's toes?
Ryan won feet, thinking he'd get third the day before?
Maru 3x3s are wicked fast?
Justin Adsuara isn't half bad at calling Team BLD?
I got a 1.53 on my Na-perm, which is 21 moves long?
I got a +2 on an 18.08 POP, becoming my ONLY sup-20 solve in 3x3 at the competition? Pop, +2, and sup-20. Oh my.

Feet was AWESOME?

Yes it was. Too bad this is probably the last time it will be held.
Also,

-I totally failed at square-1, yet I somehow ended up getting third?
-Despite having 4 4x4s, I didn't have one not stuck in inner alignment when 4x4 started?
-I ended up dropping 4x4?
-I think I was the only one who didn't pop during feet?
-It looked like Vidar was going to beat me by about 10 seconds, but he got a pop?
-He still ended up "pulling it out of the gutter"?
-I am now 2nd in North America at feet?
-There is no way I can beat Timothy Sun?
-I thought Edward would beat me at pyraminx?
-I somehow won, with a pretty disappointing average.
-I got a 19.96 in OH?
-There was a really nice 3x3 scramble, and I got a 12.21, but it should have been faster?
-The medals were really nice this time?
-The trophy was very nice. I was really afraid I would break it.
-I'll upload a picture of it if I remember to.

...what's wrong with you people?
j/k

Devin blew one of the latex scrambling gloves into a balloon and it was batted around during the feetsolve round. It was poetic, really - a giant hand in protest of feetsolving.

Well, you gotta give Devin a hand. xD

 

[Lars Petrus]

... one scramble started with a solved 2x2x2 and formed pair? UB2U'FB'L2DFU2'F2R'D'B2UB2R2U'R2B2R2B2? Lars Petrus got a 40 on this.

Yeah, I screwed up the final alg, decided to DNF, but stopped the timer out of habit when the cube was solved. I don't think it would have been a great time anyway.

I didn't recognise Mr. Petrus until I walked away from him as he was trying to pay for parking?

Full day parking was $15. I ended up paying $22. Berkeley parking takes a lot of getting used to.


I pretty much sucked at all I did, except I set my personal OH record. 32.55 (?) even when I wasted 5 seconds on that solve. So that sucked too, in it's own way. Not that that made it much less fun.

Lars, meter maids don't work on Sunday in Berkeley =P

... Which nearly left Devin homeless?

... Which nearly left Devin homeless?

I know; I'm really sorry T_T

If it makes you feel any better, I've been paying for exhausting myself to that point with a really bad influenza infection. Think vomiting, fever, swollen throat, etc.
