[Andrew Ricci]

Thanks for posting the average with such a good camera angle, and the interview as well. I now realize that I have the most boring monotone of all time, so that's useful information for the future. xD

More love for Andrew Ricci...I've had a feeling about this kid for a long time, and I was delighted to learn that he took nationals. I simply cannot wrap my head around the TPS and recognition that happened during that full step NAR solve. Incredible...inspirational.

I think it's incredibly cool that the top 4 times ever are from four different continents.

This is a really good video.

Well done Andrew!

Thanks, Feliks!

Thanks, Rowe. And I'll be sure to save them, I heard some crazy stories about people throwing away double that in one night.

I have to say, this is my favorite solve ever. It's really been a pleasure to watch you go from noob to NAR holder, and I hope you continue to get faster.

Thanks Johnathon, but I don't see myself improving for a while. I feel like I've hit a bit of a wall recently.
