Hi,

Remarkable results at Brussels Summer Open 2009 this weekend:

fewest moves:
1 Arnaud van Galen 27 NR Netherlands
1 Guillain Potron 27 NR France

Awfully!
Congratz Arnaud & Guillain!

Did you guys find the same solution?
Anyone got the scramble?

Gus
 
I am so annoyed I couldn't go :( I can't believe Mats didn't do as well as usual, my money is on him for the WC. Congrats to Arnaud and Guillain :) Also jealous that I couldn't compete in TWO rounds of pyraminx, two WHOLE rounds... jeez.
 
No, unfortunately someone wiped it off before a photo was taken.

FMC scramble: B' U2 B2 D2 R2 F D2 B' U2 L2 R2 U2 F L U B D2 R B' U

Arnaud's 27 moves:
L' B U B' F R L B2 L U L' R B (triple x-cross)
R D' R2 D B (setup pair/remaining pieces)
F' R' F R' F' R2 F (sune)
R' B' (undo setup)

Arnaud and Guillain had different solutions. Guillain built a 2x2x3 block,then finished F2L with U R2 U2 R2, then ELL followed by a 3-cycle of corners (which cancelled two moves)

Yes, I did :)

My best results were 4x4 single and sq-1 single/avg.
4x4 49.88
First round sq-1
22.30 single (this was a +2)
26.20 avg
Then I got a 21.52 single in the second round, but 29.58 avg. I came second..

The results are up by the way ;) (I`m pretty happy with these, I did better than expected)

Yeah, I kept going on the Brussels page and nothing came up. Then I refreshed it an it did :p

I really should've gone to this competition. Brussels is quite close and there were two rounds of square-1!
 
Wow, I beat my 12.23 seconds average with a 12.22 average after almost a year.
I just noticed today when looking at the results that I had an orange 12.22. :P

It's the fifth time I've did a sub 20 average OH in competition and this was a bad one too...
On the last solve I didn't knew wich pll it was, but I just did the V perm and halfway through I was like: ''Wait! Is this the V perm?''.

OMG HOW OLD DOES MATS LOOK!? He looks like a grown up!

Mats did seem more grown up indeed! His voice is even getting lower ;)

Competition was awesome! Only sad things were my times and the lack of a 7x7 event :rolleyes:
2 good results for me, another sub-2 for BLD and a very 'erik style' FMC PB. Come 20 minutes late and leave as first, use 5 min to find solution, use 15 to write it down correctly (hard when you have the inverse scramble)
Congrats to Arnaud and Guillain for getting 27!

My solution:
FMC scramble: B' U2 B2 D2 R2 F D2 B' U2 L2 R2 U2 F L U B D2 R B' U
Do the inverse of this otherwise you'll not see any logic ;)
Inverse: U' B R' D2 B' U' L' F' U2 R2 L2 U2 B D2 F' R2 D2 B2 U2 B

2x2 block: D2 U B' L' B U' x' y
Extend: F2 U F U' F' R2
Finish F2L: U' F U' L' U' L U' F' U' F y
LL: L F' L F2 R' F R F2 L2 U'

Hope it's correct I only have one cube here at school ;) and not much time to write it down. I loved the ending :D
 
The FMC scramble was awesome. Official PB for me too, I found a 35-move solution after only 5 minutes and spent the rest of the hour tweaking it to ge my final 31-move solution for a 3rd place (tied with Erik):

Corners + 1 edge (7): U' B2 L' D L2 F2 U2
3 more edges (10): z' U' M' d D2 l2 L E2 L
2 more edges (5): U R E2 R'
Last 6 edges (9): L E' L E2 L2 U' D'
 
Great competition indeed :) Thanks to Olivier for organising and all the judges/scramblers for helping out!

Did you know that...

... *hug* ;)?
... Rodrigo did really well and got himself some nice NR's? Congratz!
... we need to come up with at least 5 things 'she' cannot say?
... Lars, Joey and Erik solved François' Gigaminx in a McDonald's Restaurant?
... Conor needs to grow up and dominate the world :p?
... we ALL missed Charlie?
... Arnaud will ALWAYS be the "1,2,3,4 and again and again and again"-sexy-move-guy? (even if he skips 1 & 3)
... I forgot my memo as soon as I wanted to start execution in 3x3-BLD, but this morning after waking up, it all came back to me :(?
... Sachi did pretty well in 3x3x3 and Carole tried to do 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 after learning how to do them the previous day?
... I am still in Brussels because I missed my train last night ;)?
... I should go now?

:)

Wew..
Nice job Arnaud, you beat your own 2 years old 33, and tied Guus.
Congratulations!
 
@Coolmission: You missed your train? Then you might as well have stayed for pasta at Carole's (now Joey's) house

@Charlie: You mean Polish isn't that far away ;)

I almost didn't go because I have a lot to do at home and I am missing Max but I am really glad I did because I met some great people and had some of my best results ever. In the last month I have broken just about all my personal bests, mostly by big margins

Lol, I already checked the travel arrangements for Polish and it's too complicated.... I would miss a lot of classes (which I definitely don't want to do) and I can't afford it :P

Haha I should have :) How was it by the way?

Basically, I wandered around for about an hour in Brussels before realizing I was actually going in the wrong direction :fp

That's when I realized it was getting dark so I caught a random bus and at 22:00 I finally arrived back home, after a LOOONG walk :D
 
Did you know?

* Joël still owes me a 999999999? (I have to put this with it since he saw a spelling mistake: EDIT BIATCH)
* Lars' bed grew from a one person to a 4+ person bed?
* I tried to get the slowest magic time ever, but there were people waiting for Arnaud's magic, but I was stubborn. Then Arnaud gave me a (legit) DNF for talking to people other than the judge (him) xD?
* everbody loves Connor?
* I tried to surprise Joey at Schiphol after he just landed, got up at 6 O clock in the morning to get the train and then they called that the train would be arriving 5 mins later than Joey's arrival time due to a malfunctional train in front of us, so I had to text Joey to hold on and the surprise was gone?
* I said goodbye to Joey in Rotterdam and met later in Leuven (Belgium)?
* Parking a smart can be hard???
* getting out is even harder? SEE PIC:
2v3fn6e.jpg

* Olivier successfully bullied me by refusing a 7x7x7 event?
* I did an Erik style FMC:
come 20 mins late, spend 5 mins for a solution with a forced PLL skip, 15 mins to write down and leave the room as first again. Do a PB of 31 moves and end up 3rd??? Congrats to Arnaud and Guillain for that :)
* it was awesome?
* traffic jams caused me to be late at school this morning? (stayed at my gf's place to be sure not to make accidents due to sleep-driving)
* Sachi said: aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww?? (insider)
* I'll never do warm up solves for 4x4 again cause I get 5 sub-40's in about 5 minutes and then do crap in competition? I think by the time I do competition solves I already got over the peek moment :P
