Cincinnati Summer Open 2008

I don't think I can come....
I am working on G-FASSST though

Personally, I don't find G-FASSST worth it, but that's just me.

I'm pretty sure I won't have another solve over 4 after I finish it. For evrey scramble I'll easily find the max 6 or 7 quick moves to get to PBL, or I could use EG if I see the case from inspection which happens quite often. It will be easy to learn too, so yeah I think its worth it.

Only one more day

 

[Mike Hughey]

Yep. Should be fun.

And humbling. There's only one event there that I'm even marginally good at - 3x3x3 BLD. And lately, I've been really slow at that too. But that makes it more fun because I can concentrate on the events I'm no good at. Maybe I'll improve. I'm going to try to get some tips on 3x3x3 while I'm there.

 

[ExoCorsair]

Not going; good luck to everyone!

 

[pcharles93]

I'm terrible at 2x2 and OH. Those'll be fun. Sub-20 on 3x3 and sub-1:30 on 4x4. I'm aiming for top 5 in those events. Top 10 in OH will be easy. Sub-10 is my goal for 2x2. Does anyone have any information on all the people that don't have profiles?

Does anyone have any information on all the people that don't have profiles?

only on my brother: he is slow and can only solve 3x3... that's all

I will go ahead and list my goals:
sub 22 average 3x3, sub 20 single.
sub 8 average 2x2, sub 7 single
sub 1:45 average 4x4, sub 1:35 single
sub 48ish average OH, sub 40 single
Does anyone have any clue how these times would place me around?

 

[pcharles93]

It's hard to say. But with no Canadians competing, you could probably make it into top 10. I'm aiming for 5th. I'll get it depending on if Bob is coming or if any of the first timers are faster than me.

[slncuber21]

xls results are posted on the competition site:
http://www.thewonderidiot.net/timer/competition2/CincinnatiSummer08.html

They should be up on the WCA site sooner or later.

Edit:
WCA results.

Edit2:
Scrambles are up.

 

[CAT13]

I will go ahead and list my goals:
sub 22 average 3x3, sub 20 single.
sub 8 average 2x2, sub 7 single
sub 1:45 average 4x4, sub 1:35 single
sub 48ish average OH, sub 40 single

I just realizes how much I beat my OH and 4x4 goals

 

[pcharles93]

Does anyone have a video of Tyson's scream? I feel I should have a copy, because I was judging and I almost soiled myself.

I was actually "fiddling" with my camera at that moment I believe. Probably just missed getting the audio by a few seconds.

Here is one of the mystery events... Speed Oragami!

 

[pcharles93]

Haha, Jordan looked so helpless. He didn't want my help though.

 

[llamapuzzle]

Haha, Jordan looked so helpless. He didn't want my help though.

Yeah, I used to know how to make one without instructions but forgot, either that or the instructions screwed me up.

"Wuss!"

You gave up on origami, what else am I supposed to call you?

 

[philkt731]

wow those 2x2 scrambles were nice.

3.31 2.88 3.59 4.46 2.88 = 3.23 would've been WR
