UK Open 2011

Who has got some footage of some of my solves? My video quality isn't good and I'd like to see exactly what I did in the solves.

I remember there was a man recording the whole final... Who was he?

Also, 3 of the DIY GuHongs are missing the bits to join the corners up, the last DIY had all the corners and edges formed already. I presume this is unintentional because I am unable to build them :b

Damn, sorry I did not realise. As I mentioned I had never opened them and did offer for you to check them! So they are missing the connecting 'stars'? Are all the stars missing from each bag? Odd. I will order some replacements for you right now. Or I can take them back. Up to you but happy to sort it any way you want.

Yes it is the little stars, I was not aware GuHongs had these as I thought they were built the same as the ZhanChi which I guess is my fault. It's only with 3 of them as the 4th one already had all the corners and edges put together. If you could order 3 of them that would be excellent then you could post them with the stickers maybe. I'd be happy to send you some money to pay for them via paypal or something as well.

No, no need for any money, its all good. I'm sorry I never checked them myself. I'll get replacements ordered and send them just as soon as I have them. Sorry for the trouble.

I filmed almost all of the final (camera ran out of memory so I missed Breandan and Rowan's first 2 solves- sorry!) but I got all yours. Will upload the videos within the next couple of days.

No trouble at all, thanks for doing this. :)

Also the one with half bright stickers is probably going to become my main after a little tightening, I keep overshotting M slices but it's really nice otherwise.

If people have footage of MY solve from the final, I really want to see.

Other than Rowan and Breandan, I only recorded 2 solves for other finalists. Sorry about that, only a quarter of the battery left, and the spare battery wasn't with me at that time.

Will upload the videos soon.
 
Great competition, nice to see everyone again and also meet many more.
Did you know...
- I was about 24 hours without sleep before I arrived at the competition on Saturday morning?
- I slept 4 hours or so Sat. night, and then didn't sleep at all Sunday?
- I had a hard time finding the tiny street called "telephone"?
- I got a 12.41 avg the first day, which is a new competition PB?
- I always break all my records on little sleep?
- Cider can be very sweet if you buy the cheapest one?
- Axel will someday marry one of Michael Erskine's ginger granddaughters?
- Breandan's sister has an awesome Scotish accent that I sometimes had a hard time understanding?
- Robert Yau is a friendly guy?
- Daniel Sheppard is crazy fast at 4x4 BLD - and every other event apparently?
- I got a 43.xx 4x4 single the second day, which improved my old competition PB by 7 seconds?
- I failed 4x4 avg?
- I got a 20.xx OH single, even though I haven't done a OH solve in more than a half year?
- Sebastian has almost the same times as me on nearly every puzzle I competed in?
- The people from Seventowns are great - they even bought a round of cider?
- The CubeStormer solver is cool, but has lots of room for improvement to shatter the WR it currently holds?
- I wonder if they will try to make it faster since there is little competition to do so?
- Subway in Bristol sucks?
- UK competitions are always great fun, and competitive for how small the UK is?
- Most UK cubers are fun and friendly?

It was nice seeing everyone again, and meeting all the new people there. Well done Daniel. Thanks Charlie for letting for crash on your floor.

To new competitors: don't be shy to talk to people. I did see a few cubers at this comp. that didn't seem to talk to anyone other than their family. Meet people at these - it isn't all about cubing.
 
DYK...

- I had an awesome time with everyone, despite probably seeming quite stressed most of the time
- My boss laughed when I tried to speak to him this morning at work
- Spef's clock actually turns now
- I want a better megaminx
- 4x4 pb single ftw
- McDonalds and Cider Boat ftw
- Antisunes are attracted to me
- Joey held the 3bld NR for over 4 years
- I want him to practise loads so that I keep some motivation too :)
- Mollerz is my lucky judge
- Although Breandan is still a great 4bld judge for me
- 5BLD can't do 5bld
- He was too fast for a 1st-timer
- Slowan Kinneavy is sub11 :)
- DJ Yau got 6 different NRs in one day
- FINALLY sub10 for Simon
- Muckers shouldn't lie about how fast he is at mega
- I think I'm going to miss the sum of singles list by <150 places (0.09 improvement needed in magic single :p)
- I'm sad for Charlie and her lack of NRs :(
- But so grateful that she prevented me from sleeping on the streets :)
- I can 15-look a Roux solve
- Thom got 5 looks when he tried
- I guess I should stop typing and start thinking about the next UK comp now instead

EDIT: One more thing - if anyone has videos of my 3blds or 4blds, please let me know - I might want to post it on my channel :)

EDIT2: If you lost anything/gained anything, then please email [email protected] in the next 24 hours. I'll be sending out an email to everyone
