UCSD Summer Open 2008

I came to this thread for the express purpose of finding out about that OH solve... I havent heard of this guy before who is he? I am shocked that it is not lucky as his averages were around 23 and 24.

Yea, I was shocked too. That solve, as I recall had a easy cross, could've been sub 20 had I not get so distracted by people cheering for Jeremy, haha.The cross was like R2 F B'. It was one of the easier solve in competition, I think. I got a N perm though, haha. Jeremy goes to Berkeley and learns from Dan Dzoan.

ok... even with an easy cross can it really cut that much off his average...
I wish I had another OH cuber to teach me/practice with. Actually maybe not because then I would have competition.

So Mr. Baum doesn't count then? I always find it strange when you American's complain about not having cubers nearby :rolleyes:

Jason is not near us.

To Brian: He said it was a very fluid solve. It happens that you sometimes get solves that's so fluid that it's faster than your normal times.

I think Dene is just saying that, from an Australian point of view, anyone who doesn't require crossing a major ocean to get to is considered near you.

Haha, even that, For us to reach Pedro Santos is about the same distance for Dene to reach Yu Nakajima. haha.

exactly
(with the difference that the plane tickets for Dene would probably be cheaper don't know why it's so expensive to fly from here internationally)

 

[Dene]

First of all, New Zealand .

Second of all, for me to fly to Japan, return trip, would be looking at at least NZ$4000. That's just for the tickets of course, and cheap ones at that. so it would be over US$3000

Sorry, Dene, I knew that. How did I forget? (And it was right there in your info to remind me in case I forgot, too. I feel like such an idiot.)

I saw the timer for the 15.77, but I didn't know it was an OH solve, thats amazing! If Ryan didn't get a lucky solve at San Diego, Jeremy would hold the WR :]
