I know, I usually do that, but last time I ended up being able to come again temporarily, and you never no.if that may happen again. Ill unregister by wednesday.

I think you need to improve on "usually"

We finally got one of Eric's post-competition speeches on video.

That was amazing. Reminded me of this kid at my old school called Emilio who would just make random "inspirational" and often corny speeches at the end of terms.

That poem was tops

 

[Dene]

That's way better than what Tim McMahon pulls out at the end of every comp. We should totally get one of those on vid.

ok, sorry.

As a side note, would the scrambles be able to be posted? I want to try 2x2 xD

I am surprised that I got the fastest time on the 1st skewb scramble in the final round, I'm not really that fast at skewb. Here was my solution:

1) Solve 2 layer pieces
2) Sledgehammer


I thought it was even easier than the first scramble at Houston Winter (Walker's 4.63 WR scramble).

Houston 1st scramble solution:

1) Solve 2 layer pieces
2) U-perm

Well, here's the scrambles if you're interested to reconstruct that lucky skewb scramble:

I won the unofficial Beard comp

There was a pool table

I went 1-0 at pool

I beat James LaChance at 2x2

The bathroom had one toilet but two sinks

NINE!!!!!!!

Here is a video reconstruction of my 6.03 skewb single.

1st solve of final round at Blizzard Town 2014 for skewb.

Scramble: R B' L' U' R L' R' B U'

Time: 6.03
Moves: 10
TPS: 1.65 (LOL)

 

[Coolster01]

Got 3.46 on that solution and I wasn't warmed up or anything at all wat

E: Tried 2x2 scrambles even though wasn't warmed up and pretty bad lighting lol. Got 1.94 average on group a with 1.49 single, final round got 1.27 on first scramble and a counting 1.38 but counting 3 xD pretty good scrambles I guess and I'm going to sleep now.

EDIT2: Actually looked back at video, it was (1.27) 1.34, 2.66, 1.90, (Fail) so 1.97 average with counting 2.6 loooool.

Yep, I did the orange one, because I saw that it seemed to be a shorter face in inspection (5 moves vs 6 moves). I was right about that, but it was definitely not the right face to choose, clearly.

 

[Sa967St]

Someone left two American $5 bills on one of the tables. I believe it belongs to someone whom I sold a cube to, who got $10 back in change. I don't remember what your name was, but if this is you, send me a message along with some sort of evidence and I can send the money to you via Paypal or something.

Did you know...

- I won the unofficial best pants competition?
- I got 4 fantasy cubing points?
- Brandon knows how to pronounce everyone's names?
- I forgot how to turn a 3x3x3?
- I mistook a random parent for Frank Morris?
- "Right, left, right" is not the same as "left, right, left"?
- Lee didn't even realize until the car ride home that he got the skewb NR average?
- Right before Eric, Lee and I left Ann Arbor, we and Kit played one round of Super Smach Bros. on N64?
- Imitating Yoshi's sounds makes you a better player?
