- I was doing bld, and when I took off the blindfold, Faz had beaten OH record. I heard no applause
- Faz got 8.8~ and got no applause at all.

Is the competition hold in a mosque or a library? :confused:

 

[Forte]

I wish I could have competed with Joey ):
The best part of the competition was being there in person and seeing Feliks not get the Fishbone WR.

 

[Faz]

Hmm, today no-one got a successful 4bld. Aron and Zane got DNF's by 2 wings, aron's was 6:30ish I think.

3x3 round 2 was high 9, and 7.71 single.
OH round 2 idc
2x2 round 2 low 3
4x4 round 2 **** OLL PARITY ON EVERY SOLVE. 46 avg
5x5 round 2 1:10 avg
2x2 final 2.56 avg
3x3 OH final idc
3x3 final, 7.59, 9.16

 

[Faz]

Chris came 2nd with 14.10 avg, and Aron was 3rd with mid 14.

Matt's 2nd round 3x3 started with 2 NL 10's, a solve that should have been 10, and then 16, 14

Rubik's Magic Results- FAIL!

Hey guys,

The Rubik's Magic finals yesterday was a complete FAIL for everyone.

I won the event with a disgraceful average of 1.64; and 2nd (David Edwards) with 1.93, and 3rd (Mingren Lu) with 2.02.

I won this by luck, at the last minute before the event, one magic string snapped, and one string came loose. I thought i was doomed. I had to use one less string for my solves. I usually average about sub-1 though, but i didn't want to risk my magic.

Jeremy Lu, got a DNF average- usually 1.0x solves
Brian Kim, got a 2.xx average (I think)- usually 1.2x solves

Does any Aussie know where the best place to buy a speedstack timer.

 

[Mr.Toad]

Well done, Feliks, congratulations. If I'm right, you have now:

1º 3x3 avg
1º 4x4 avg
1º 5x5 avg
1º OH avg
2º 2x2 avg

Amazing.

Speed Stacks Australia for a real stackmat timer. There's always the QJ timer if you don't mind having less features, and the fact that it isn't competition legal.

By the way, this MAY not have been the best thread to post this in, probably a more relevant thread would be the One Answer Question Thread.

Can someone refresh my memory and tell me if there's anyone that's ever had a 3 for sum of 3x3-5x5 avgs?

 

[Luigimamo]

Um mid 15 avg I think. also anyone in Melbourne watch the channel 9news.

=\. Nope, I don't watch current affair shows . What was on??

You know the old lady there? She became the oldest person to solve it in comp, so that's all they had. They showed Luke and Jake for literally 2 seconds.

Wow, isn't she special. And that's why I don't watch crap like that .

Faz got his 5x5 single WR while they were filming the old lady, So I went up too the cameraman and rubbed it in his face.

 

[Robert-Y]

Erik was close. Michal stole his 555 avg WR at the start of Feb 2009 and then Erik broke the 333 avg WR in late Feb 2009 So he has had a 4 for sum of 333-555 avgs I think.

Feliks does.

Didn't feel the need to mention Matt's DNF off by 3 wings?
Gar... I fail at Pyra. Last scramble in the finals was so easy >_<
I got a 3.93 single though first solve so that was good.
Another scramble, I inspected a red corner as green, and when I realised it was red at like, 8, I couldn't find the other green edge in time. I'm sure I coulda sub 4'd that as well (2-4 move V, but I didn't have time to find it in inspection, only while solving.

Before OH I said to Zane, k, gonna sub 30 now (avg), but I kinda doubted I actually would considering how much I'd failed in my past 4 rounds in OH since I'd been 30~.
36 first solve and I basically gave up, but then went on to a 29.98 average with a 24 fullstep. I had an X-cross on either white or yellow EVERY solve O_O

3x3 2nd round went awesome, I had 2 13s, and some other nice solves. Finals scrambles were awesome, easy white. 2 X-crosses, but I kinda failed the easy scrambles. I think it was a fairly normal average, but with those scrambles it coulda been way better.

Faz/David: Post the finals footage asap please

Faz/David: Post the finals footage asap please

- Dajana (pronounced Diana) used the craziest method I'd ever seen xD Corners FL, then middle edges, edges first layer, then some really cool LL. Very fun to judge.

All for now, more tomorrow.

I didn't teach her that she learnt it all herself... lol...

 

[KboyForeverB]

Does the results usually come up the next day morning or something?

Nice work on the win btw, so wish I had a magic I could have practiced with...
