Cornell Spring 2011

My friend was crazy. She was walking back home from Starbucks and she dropped her phone in the middle of the road and she went back to get it and a truck hit her head on and she went flying.

It makes me sad to think how much technology ruins peoples lives.

ummmm no.

Can you guys not chat about this kinda stuff on this thread? Thanks.

 

[Harris_Karsch]

Let's meet at RPCC (building that the competition is in tomorrow) at 8:30.

Make that more like 8:45-9, I want to wait for Ethan to get here. If you get there and I'm not there yet, you can go outside RPCC and jump around (stand on the big chalk cube I drew and then back up a bit), I'll see you from my window, haha.

 

[freshcuber]

I should be there soon

 

[Vinny]

I'm so excited. Checked out the college today and now I'm staying in a hotel overnight.

 

[Owen]

This is going to be so fun! See you guys there!

 

[Kian]

Had fun. Thanks Harris and Co.!

 

[freshcuber]

Great first comp, met some cool people and had some...interesting solves lol

Edit: When will the results be up? I need to know if I beat Eric in 4x4

 

[Vinny]

I had a great time as well. Got 5x5 single PB and Ao5 PB, all on camera, so that was pretty cool.

 

[freshcuber]

I failed 5x5 sooo hard lol. I would've needed a good solves to make the cut off but I didn't even sub-3 :fp I had a 3:00.17 I think it was and I had a 3:01.xy

I DNF'ed my 2x2 average and my magic average has a DNF and two +2s. Haven't touched a magic in 7 months before today. I did pretty decent in 3x3 and alright in 4x4. OH was mega fail. My average of 30 I'm doing right now is almost as fast as my in comp single.

 

[EricReese]

I did terrible in every event, the only good thing I can possibily say is I had 2 acceptable 3x3 solves, and one acceptable OH solve, a 15 and a 19 solve in 3x3 meh..and a 34 OH solve, ugh, terrible comp in terms of my solves, I think I'm going to be laying off the cubes for a bit, this comp depressed me

Also, if anyone took a stackmat that is not theirs, it is mine, I don't care how it got into your bag, but I would appreciate it being returned, as i have already waited 2 months to get it back from Washington 2011 comp, thank you a lot if you could return it

 

[freshcuber]

Again Eric? Lol real smooth. Did they post the 4x4 results?

 

[EricReese]

Yea I forgot kids like to steal crap that isn't theirs. I just assume people won't pick up stackmat timers that aren't theirs <_<

edit: they usually dont post results for a few days, you prob beat me in 4x4 anyway, lolsplosion, plus DP on 4 terrible terrible solves in a row kills an average

Um... what?

 

[RyanReese09]

Great competition! Had some good results. Thanks to Harris and the team for organizing. Broke many comp PBs but still not happy with many results. Sad I could have gotten a multi attempt if I was faster to the punch .

Happy I won BLD! First time me ever winning something.

Also I'm missing a brand new Guhong. If you have an extra in your bag let me know. Should have a new "feel" to it.

DYK-
Certificates smell good?
DP on 4 solves of 4x4x4?
I suck at OH?
I get a bad time on BLD on a great scramble yet somehow won?
Pandas **** people off?
BLD solves in finals of 3x3?
I should try to not fail in comp?
2x2 gogo with no inspection?

More if I think of some. Exhausted.

 

[EricReese]

Um... what?

I don't know if you guys have it in Aus, but every comp I have been to so far, there has been problems with people stealing stackmats/cubes from people who it isn't theirs, like ryan also had a Guhong stolen from him today, one he JUST purchased like 3 hours previous. There is a chance this is just a misunderstanding, but whatever.

edit:

2x2 gogo with no inspection?

I lol'd at this, it was seriously weird that Owen just did that with no inspection at all, it was like he knew already what he was going to do

Cubes go missing but they're always returned. There may be some dishonest people, but not people who steal. I doubt country would change anything. Perhaps put a sticker on it or your name. "Also, if anyone took a stackmat that is not theirs, it is mine," don't you have anything to differentiate it easily from other timers? If not, that's asking for trouble. And it's easy for new GuHongs to get lost too. They're new, so they look the same as other GuHongs, with no stickers chips, etc.

Congrats Ryan :tu

 

[freshcuber]

Yea I almost lost my stackmat too so I'm just gonna put my name somewhere on it. I'm probably gonna sharpie the inside of my center caps with my initials or something.

The thing is, I had just gotten the stackmat timer before Washington open, not barely used at all, and I accidently left it there so I hadn't even had a chance to marker my name on or anything. Also, Ryans cube was still in the new box IIRC, though I could be wrong

Congrats Ryan! Next time get a fast success in 3x3 finals

 

[Tim Major]

Something like this is hard to take accidentally.
I have sharpie marks on mine, and used to have a sticker on both buttons.
