Cuthbert's Open 2013 (UK)

I don't know how this could have happened but I'm missing my new black weilong. I think someone might have taken it from me because I swear I had it with me on the sunday. It's not great since I haven't done anything with it. It should be in a white box.
 
wasnt me idunfink

mollerz jus gave me an weilong right before 3x3final started and asked if it was mine and am pretty sure it was mine so jar. felt the same, stickers were same shade/quality and d logo was chipped the same amount

Someone bought my new weilong before I did? :(
I have a total fan crush on BV?
He has really cold hands.
UWR touchy-feely team blind was the best thing to watch?
I can't see the difference in the words "clock" and "cube"?
Neither can Adam?
I don't like doing laps round a multistory car park?
Especially as I wasn't in a car?
I shouldn't race while competing?
Selkie, I'm still sorry? :(
I was so pleased to make cut for 5x5 that i turned to jelly for the average?
And failed so badly at 3x3 I'm ashamed of myself?
My only real goal was to make that cut?
The two nicest guys helped me to do it? x
I think me hugging Daniel winds him up?
So i kept doing it?

Thank you everybody again.

Billy and Daniel you impress me so much and I'm very grateful.

I am very much looking forward to doing it all again soon x

I knew the feeling of Rob's cube and yours was totally different so I just came to you first because I knew you were missing yours and it had been on the table at the back for ages.
 
i have a black dayan mega without ridges and a black wittwo 2x2x2 that aren't mine. I also found a white weilong which i gave to rob since he lost his i figured it was fair. GL finding cubes. Weilongs are confusing to tell apart deffoo gonna do something to mine

9 Comp PBs. The most I've set apart from my first comp?
Twice as many official solve pops as PBs?
Turn as fast as possible and hold on to lookahead for dear life doesn't work in comp?
Not giving a damn and normal speed does?
First time my 3x3 official average is only about a second slower than what I average at home?
Sub 18? (Just!)
Forgetting the hundredths of one of my OH solves is about as important and relevant as one of my OH solves itself? (So Sarah, don,t worry one bit :) )
My hands have made the decision to retire OH from my repertoire?
Sarah's 5x5 was awesome, florian mod to my spare SS 5x5 this weekend?
Most of my averages would have been much better with two slowest solves disregarded?
Most motivated coming back from the comp to concentrate on BLD (Didnt see it at this comp) and FMC (Wasn't an event at this comp)??
My wife wants to learn to cube, we start this evening? :)
First time I made 5x5 average cut? (Still a pants average)
Best sausage and egg mcmuffin ever - 5 hours old, solid and cold?
Can't believe I missed 7 UK competitions in a row?
More public venues please?
Great first organised comp Billy, so pleased to have been able to make it. Annually?
The UK cubing community is fantastic?

- I was told to go through 'the silver door' to get into the galleria and there were about 6 :/
- Not even once during a single official solve did I think about the fact that at any given time 15+ people were watching.
- When walking around the galleria I had about 3 people ask me to solve a cube for them
- I assumed I would get 1-2 PB's, got 4!
- I thought there was a 97% chance of getting a 3x3x3 average PB, but it didn't happen :/
- and only a 3% chance of breaking my single PB, but I did :P
- SUB-10 IN COMP!!!!1!1!1!
- by 0.009 seconds
 
billy there was a asian kid i was with who was playing with a black weilong, he said when i asked him about it that it was ??????'s but i cant remember. after the second round of 3x3 i dont remember seeing him .

I saw the score card and was like omfg he got a sub 10 before me

Indeed, we are about equal so it was about 50/50 who would get there first, you seem to be just about overtaking me though so I assumed it would be you :p You probably will get sub-10 at Leicester now :p Funnily enough I thought we might both be in the final but neither of us were :/

You still got sub-1 single though :p and at least comp nerves didn't make you do a solve of 21 seconds. probably my least consistent average ever :P How often are you getting Sub-10's these days?

Also before cuthberts the UK had 13 solvers with a sub-10 single, now it's 15, Sameer being the other one :D
