ABHC 2015 - 29-30th August [Hertfordshire, UK]

I did not expect to still be in the top 10 for sum of ranks, wow...
Grats to Harry and Fabio for passing me :p (I feel like Fabio passed me a while back but I didn't check last comp)

I jumped from 20 to 18 for sum of singles, but fell from 25 to 27 for averages. I'm waiting to see how kinchranks change.
 
DYK?
  • It's apparently impossible for me to go to a comp and not feel very tired throughout the majority of my time there
  • On that note, I broke my PB for "Most tired I've been at a comp"- I spent most of the second half of the day trying not to fall asleep
  • I was only able show up for the second day because I spent half of Saturday in Portugal
  • And (for this comp only, I hope) the only event I participated in was 3x3, because I'm cheap and only wanted to pay £5, and because I'm a pleb
  • And I sucked at it because I was knackered
  • My new favourite threat is "I will render you airtight!"
  • I'm envious of glittery stickers
  • ...which aren't competition legal, apparently
  • Danny He he heh heheheheheh eheheheh
  • Jessica has conflicting thoughts about having the word "D***" plastered across the back of her UK cuber hoodie
  • Myachii is a heretic who thinks my hat "isn't comfy" and "feels like sandpaper"
  • Speaking of my hat, I think the poor ol' thing is starting to fall apart, oh nooo
  • My nice black jumper is covered in the fake fur that fell off it, I looked like I spent the day surrounded by cats
  • My sexuallity seemed to be a source of speculation/ debate on two seperate occasions this comp, and I'm still pondering why some people suspect
  • ...
  • Like, is it my girly sticker-scheme w/ pink? My zip-up jumper, my hair, my body language? Like, what? What?
  • For the record, pink stickers are manditory for playas like myself ;)
 
DYK...
I arrived at the hotel at 8:30am?
I was 9 pints in when people started arriving?
got a snog from a complete stranger having a disastrous 1st date for complimenting her?
ear plugs are a must when all 6 cubers in the room snore?
I bounced out of bed at 6am both days?
the comp never fell behind for even 1 minute?
it ran very smoothly and asking for judges wasn't quite as bad a normal?
I dragged up 5 parents to solve to see how many competitors we could get?
101 3x3 entries so got a 4th round in?
that 3BLD 27 from Hoya?
clock NR misscramble for Daniel?
I got 1 twisted corner in 2 separate 3BLD solves bringing my DNF streak up to 10?
I should've taken the 2:02 instead of having an extra scramble?
Conny finally beaten at 3x3 in the UK?

I can't remember much but it was a great weekend?

Thank you to everyone who came and especially those who worked so hard so I didn't have a nervous breakdown.
 
DYK

I failed my first event as i normally do
I cant get a sub 3 2x2 average to save my life
Overall PB in blind in first round but missed the final by one place
Had my first sub 10 on my first 3x3 solve and then had 2 more later on
Both my 5x5 averages were excatly the same
4x4 is now my least favourite nxnxn puzzle
7x7 is also stupid
would have missed 3x3 finals by one place but luckily it was increased to 16

Overall had a great weekend and it was a great comp as always :)
 
DYK:

I am sub-43 at FMC (approximately)
My second round 3x3x3 average involved me getting two comp. pbs but was still worse than the first round one
That I did some intuitive WV in my FMC, and did an EOCross
I have a problem with twisted corners and flipped edges in BLD
That there was a bush full of a swarm of bees in the car park
That 7x7x7 is the worst event ever (if I go over the cutoff, I get a DNF, because the timer turns off)
That I do about 10 minutes of practise on the average day.
That the lighting in my home is awful
 
i just realised how easy the 2nd extra scramble on pyraminx round 2 group 3 is

L R B' R' L B' U B' L' B' R u l r' b

B R L' R U' + tips

tried it and got 1.97
 
Got my goals eventually even though 3x3 first round and second round suuuuucked.

DYK?
  • Zak snores like an old lady
  • I got a medal
  • Danny got eaten by a chair
  • I spilled alcohol on myself when I wasn't even drunk
  • Train prices actually do go up overnight
  • A full 3.18 second difference between my 3x3 first round and 3rd round
  • Made skewb final because Daniel and Bryn dropped out
  • Had the same judge for most of 3x3 and it was pretty nice
  • I never lied to Joey
  • I was sure I actually posted this post last night but apparently not
 
Hi again.

I have found a black MoYu 5x5x5 (I am pretty sure it's an AoChuang) with no logo sticker that isn't mine. I think that the pieces have been lubed, and it cuts two cubies! Is anyone missing a cube that fits the description. Please PM me urgently if the answer is yes, and I shall return with a security question, to prove that it is your 5x5x5. I don't know how I am going to return it though, as I am not going to either Cuthbert's or UKC (my school runs on Saturday, for everybody). I shall probably go to the competition in December, so I can return then...

Please PM me if you think that it is your cube!
 
No idea. I have his email though.

Also sending out post comp email tonight. We ask for info about lost and found in that.
