Hi Princeton Spring 2013 competitors!

Thank you all for coming! I had a super awesome time and I'm sure the rest of the staff and volunteers did too! I'd like to let you all know some things:

Results. The results are not up officially on the WCA website yet, but they will be soon.

Survey. If you enjoyed the competition, please let us know! It’ll make the staff and volunteers happy! If you have complaints, that’s great too! We're sending out a survey so that we can run better competitions for you all in the future! Please take a moment to fill out a survey:

Lost and found.

Found:

1. black earbuds (see picture: http://www.princeton.edu/~cubeclub/princetonspring2013/lostandfound/black_earbuds.JPG)

2. black jacket (see pictures: http://www.princeton.edu/~cubeclub/princetonspring2013/lostandfound/found_jacket.JPG and http://www.princeton.edu/~cubeclub/princetonspring2013/lostandfound/jacket_closeup.JPG)

3. two StackMat bags that say “Burton.” Hmm... I wonder who these belong to. (here’s a picture anyway http://www.princeton.edu/~cubeclub/princetonspring2013/lostandfound/burton_stackmat_bags.JPG)

Lost:

1. My Rubik’s cube. It’s a Dayan GuHong -- the plastic of the stickers are kind of peeling. If you think you have a cube that’s not yours, it might be mine.

2. Someone told me at the end of the competition that he lost a USB iPhone charger. Did anyone take it by mistake.

Pictures. If you have any nice pictures you would like to share, please send them to me! (acsix at princeton dot edu) We would love to put them up in a photo album here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/106169960620029499029/photos/106169960620029499029/albums

Next Princeton competition. In the fall, maybe? Help me think of ways to motivate Princeton students to help me run the competition. Doing most of the planning myself is quite tiring.

Thanks again!

I take full credit for this, I told Collin it would be hilarious if he wrote down a Yu-Gi-Oh character instead of a Pokemon

You left out what followed:

Audience: Hahaha!
Kian: That's supposed to funny, apparently...
Audience: HAHAHA!

Also, one request: if you have photos and videos that you'd like to share with everyone, could you please send them to me? (acsix at princeton dot edu)

Photos. I will put them up here:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/10616...169960620029499029/albums/5861476962611451201

As you can see, all of my photos were not taken during the actual competition. Also, the person who volunteered to take photos had to go to another event, so we didn't have a photographer. So please, send me your photos!

Videos. If you have videos up on YouTube that you'd like to share, please send me the links. (Edit: or just post them in this thread -- that's probably easier.) I'll find a place to post all of them.

Thanks!

LOl, I meant to post this vid before Alan made that post, but it's okay.

It didn't sound like a Pokemon, but I am too old to differentiate.

That first solve was pretty funny to watch. It is unfortunate you had the pop though.

Why were Tim Sun's 3x3 results removed?

 

[Tim Reynolds]

He showed up late, after other people had already been told they were too late to compete in 3x3, so he should not have been allowed to compete in 3x3 at all.

Neither Bob nor I realized until the end of the day that this had happened, so no corrections could happen during the day.

 

[cityzach]

I would have been in finals then... :/

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Yeah, I apologize to everyone, especially Zach, for competing in 3x3 when I definitely shouldn't have.

 

[Alan Chang]

It's my fault. I let him compete without realizing that I shouldn't have. Sorry.
