Caltech Winter 2010

[MrData]

What was your average?

Terrible.

 

[Anthony]

Your point of view would be from a hardcore CLL guy.

Well, I also use EG1 and quite a bit of SS.

Round 2 scrambles were:
1) F R F' U F R' F2 R2
2) F R2 F' R' U2 F U' F' U'
3) R' F2 R' F R' U' F2 U F2
4) F U' R2 U' F2 R F' U' F2 U2
5) R F2 U2 R' F' U' R U R'

Those were the ones Edward got.

Which group were you in Steven?

Also, according to Ian, the first scramble had a "ll skip." :S

I think there was only one group for 2x2 finals

No idea about groups, but I know those were the scrambles Edward and I had.
Dunno how any of it got skips, all mine were NL and slow.

EDIT: Just found the LL skip solution for the first scramble.

EDIT 2: Results are up.

You were shy on Camera, steven xD

And who was it that was downloading the thing for the iPhone?

Well, that's kind of stupid. That wasn't the fastest/most efficient layer, but I guess it paid off for whoever did that.

When was I on camera?
And that was Shayan Sadigh.

Lol i got a LL skip but I didnt do that solution. I was trying to find it yesterday after the comp, but I couldnt find it. Mine had no AUF.

-I don't like white cubes, even thought it's an amazing haiyan?

I know how you feel..

Hey Anthony, guess who won 3 black Haiyan cubes yesterday?

I just realized how much Gottlieb kicked ass. He got his first sub-10 and a low 12 average. Not to mention 1:24 5x5 avg. Good stuff.

Oh and Weston, I saw you take about 3 bags of cubes. I was wondering what happened to all the cubes. Haha. I thought you were supposed to only take one cube regardless of how many events you placed in? Knowing that, I would've taken 4. Oh well, I got a memory cube so I can't complain.

 

[ianini]

Is the memory cube good?

 

[PhillipEspinoza]

Did You Know:
- I left my house at 5 am yesterday morning to get on a bus to caltech?
- The bus schedule I had must've been wrong?
- I missed the competition and spent 7 hours total on and waiting for buses to get me back home?
- I need a freaking car?

Ah man. That sucks! I feel your pain, I feel your pain, man. I've been in positions like this before. Not having a car sucks so much and it sucks even more that you had to spend 7 hours traveling back home. But don't worry. To make up for it, I got a sub-11 avg for the West Coast cubers.

On another note, there was this RIDICULOUSLY EASY BLD scramble. So much so that most of us choked and spent a chunk of time during the memo phase freaking out. I could only imagine if Shelley or Lucas were there. It would have definitely been an easy sub-1 BLD solve for either of them. I think Adam has the scramble somewhere...

EDIT: Memory cubes = meh. not really my style. Not bad though. Not GREAT either.

Well, I asked Adam after every event I placed in if i was allowed to take another cube, and he said yes every time (except for the fastest single award).
So I'm pretty sure we were allowed to take more than one. I remember there were a few left over that were bought by some competitors. Those ones were probably meant for you.

 

[Dene]

Nice job qq! Someone has been practising 3x3. I need to do some more of that.

yeah it was ridiculously easy. Definitely sub 1 min for lucas or shelley. My pauses kept me from sub 2 min

Wow. My edge memo was sub 10. 3 solved edges and 3 flipped edges. I actually memo'd to flip the two unoriented edges on top as well so that the top 3 unsolved edges are merely a 3 cycle. That just leaves 3 edges to be solved. Corners weren't too amazing though.

 

[joey]

WTF is that scramble.
I got 32.36 on it..
and it's 4am :|
