Just wondering--is this the way I do it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYjgwfV84TE), or juggling two in one while solving OH? (Or Bret Wengeler's siteswap/some other pattern?)

Sune while juggling? That's awesome! I'd say that's at least halfway to solving the whole thing, in terms of difficulty. Try a PLL next. Then a cross. If you manage to solve an x-cross, then you're basically there.

Yeah, this happened to me too.

No. :P EDIT: Okay, *maybe*, with extremely large amounts of practice, I could imagine doing something like cube + ball in one hand and three balls in the other hand (siteswap 64, for jugglers). But even that would be ridiculously hard, especially because the three-in-one-hand throws have to...

This was at Stanford's juggling club's weekly meeting--the other jugglers were just standing behind me. So not so random. (And it happens that there's a weekly a cappella mini-concert right in front of the bookstore at the same time, so that explains the group of people who are singing on the...

I'm pretty sure this is the first time that this has been done. Unfortunately, the cube isn't quite visible when I'm actually doing moves here, but I'm happy enough that I got it at all. Time is about 5:37. Brest, you're welcome to have a go if you feel up to it.

Awesome! :D I think I started timing from what you call catch 0, because I'd actually intended to start solving there--I just locked up a bit. But yeah, everything looks right. Pretty happy to see my tpc that much higher than 1.

Old trick, new camera, new perspective. (The time is about 1:33.) GYjgwfV84TE

Sorry for joining the conversation late, everyone--I've been busy lately. As the judge for this particular solve (and as one of the organizers of the competition), it seems appropriate for me to offer some kind of comment on this solve. Some people in this thread have pointed out that I had...

Update: the competition gained official status yesterday. We've had to enlist some new staff (thanks to everyone who volunteered!) due to the anticipated absence of several of our usual helpers, but I'm happy to say that we are still offering all of the originally scheduled events. You can...

Hi everyone, Stanford Spring 2012 is planned for May 6. Registration and other information is available at the competition's web page: http://ca.cubingusa.com/stanfordspring2012/ Note that this competition hasn't been approved by the WCA yet. We were going to wait for official status...

For those who missed it: The mystery puzzle was a team BLD variant. I'm not sure what it should be called, but I'm calling it "dueling team BLD" for now. Basically, we had several teams do regular team BLD first, and then we took the top two teams (four people) competing in another team BLD...

Backup for Missouri? (There's also Waris Ali and David Woner, of course.) I'd ask to be the main MO person, except that Austin is actually way faster than me, and I'm not in MO for most of the year anyway. Too bad this wasn't made five years ago. But seriously, in what other state can you be...

Wait, did Lucas tell you?
