Andy Tsao
3x3x3
Solve 1: 1:09.27 (?!?!?! It didn't seem that fast...)
Solve 2: DNF (I did a corner cycle the wrong way somewhere in the middle)

I must redeem myself after that miserable failure at Caltech Winter.

Chris Hardwick
3x3x3
1) 1:34.00 (memo in 50 seconds)
2) DNF

I'm starting to solve the 3x3x3 exactly the same way as I solve the centralmost edges and corners of a 5x5x5, since I solve the 5x5x5 more often than the 3x3x3 anyway and those commutators now come to mind quicker than standard 3 cycles do. Yay! That times is really good for me!
