Indiana 2013

has anybody found a white weilong that smells like silicone spray?
Also i found someones ss aurora with half-bright plus bright blue
I saw a white weilong sitting next to a 55mm zhanchi and a name tag (sorry,can't quite recall the name) on one of the tables after everybody had left. Mike Hughey took it, so ask him.

The name tag was Dae San Kim's. I didn't check to see what it smelled like yet; sometime when I go through the boxes to find it I can check - maybe it's yours.
 
What I learned at Indiana 2013:
Multi BLD success does not work when you solve the cubes in the wrong order
My Ao5 for 4x4 is more consistent(went from a range of 3:16.12 to only 57.01 seconds)
Do not switch 3x3 mains two days before the competition
Wish 3x3BLD was a mean of three so I could win by default
Needed 7x7 hard cutoff to be 10:00.5 to finally get a single
Still hate 5x5 soft cutoffs
Need my own good clock

I can relate to these. I switched mains. Today I was averaging 20 then I got a pop and my average got dragged down to 45.
I got 4 DNFs in clock because the insides of my pins fall an the exterior doesn't (squished insides), and on top of that the pins just push themselves. It sucks averaging 15 on clock and averaging DNF at your first two competitions. Someone link me a rubik brand clock to buy?

I wish the timers went to 10:00.5): I would have got my foot solve then!
 
I should probably reflect on how well I did. I'm really happy about my results, but I kinda only did good in side events.

Goals:

2x2: Sub-2.9 and podium. I could've gotten like a 2.7-2.8 average in round 3 at world's if I didn't fail the 1 look on the last solve, but of course, 3.00 average :( And sub2 single, I'm really freaking mad that I've been close a ton of times.

Hmmm... 3.26 average in first round, 3.46 in finals. :( I guess I'll do it another time. No for this one. Finals had nice scrambles, could've easily beaten my goals.

For single, I got 2.13, could've been better (Chris got 1.56). So no...

3x3: sub-11 average again. I have done it before at tree town but that day was just a really insane day for me. And sub-8.99 (comp pb) single.

11.11 average in first round, 11.34 in finals. Not bad, but not quite. No for this one, ugh. D:

And 9.93 single, terrible. No.

4x4: sub 53.3 average (random number lol) and sub 43 single. I had a 41 at world's but that was just insane.

No. 57.08 average.

No again, 50.59 single.

Now we get into the events I did better in:

5x5: sub 2 average (I have 2:00.03 like wth) and sub 1:50 single

WOW! I got a PB average of 5: 1:55.00, 2:09.00, 1:49.84, 1:56.75, 1:48.88 = 1:53.86. So mad it wasn't recorded, but hopefully next time! Yes, finally!

And, of course, 1:48.88 did beat my goal. Yes again!

7x7: idc but sub 6:30 average and sub 6 single I guess.

I didn't practice, I failed centers, I got called for feet in the middle of the solve, and I didn't care because I wanted to practice feet and I didn't care if I didn't beat the cutoff. My eyes were like tired and I just completely bombed it.

8:30.93 xD.

No and No.

BLD: oh god. Sub 2 success -_-

No. 2:06.93, but I'm still decently happy with that. I could've done it easily, though.

OH: sub 22 average and sub 17 single

No and No again. 24.40 average, 21.77 single.

Megaminx!: sub 1:22 average and sub 1:16 single

1:25.20, 1:21.82, 1:09.99, 1:09.49, 1:08.31 = 1:13.77 (PB!). Very happy with this one! Yes!

The single is also PB (both of these weren't just official PB's, but all time PB's!). Yes.

Sq-1: idc but sub 28.5 average and sub 23 single

Total fail. So much parity, a pop, and bad cubeshapes. 38.85 average. No.

Single was 33.76, also bad. No.

Multi BLD: at least 4 points -_-

Woah! I somehow managed to pull of 8/8 in 59:46! I barely made it in time, lol. I have never attempted 8 in my life, only 7. I suck at BLD, but somehow I am top 100 MBLD! My personal PB by 5 points! Yes, baby!

Feet: sub 45 average NAR and sub 39 single NAR (no more nerves, I promise)

WOAH. I actually did it. No nerves because I kept talking about how it won't happen and how the event is stupid and blah blah blah. zi got a 39.10 mean of 3! Yes! 10th in the world.

Single was not quite as up to par with the average, but 36.97. Y perms suck. Yes, though!

EDIT: I'd also like to thank Mike for the overall rankings prizes! It was so cool of Mike to give away 25 free cubes. Thanks! Now I have another 3x3 (zhanchi), so let's do some Multi BLD! lol.

Also, Feet NAR video coming soon.

I failed horribly at the events I competed in.
I almost took home a random C4U 3x3x5 that someone left on my table.
I was the one that was yelling all that funny stuff at the awards like "Get the Rubik's brand".
Also My second OH solve had an easy cross I almost beat my best time for OH on my wca profile.
