Craig Bouchard is Calling Out Matyas Kuti on Magic

[CraigBouchard]

This is the first formal post that I, Craig Bouchard, will, by the end of 2008, hold the WR for magic, single and average, beating Matyas Kuti's records. If, after that, he wants to take me on head to head, then I am fine with that, but in 1 year or less, Matyas Kuti will hold 2 less world records.

I'm bringing him down.

Who's with me?

Craig Bouchard

 

[CraigBouchard]

If you vote, let us all know who you voted for.

craig bouchard. i hope to have the master magic ones...if there ever is a competition on the eastcoast (eastern canada).

 

[CraigBouchard]

You can have them...They were my next target after magic...But, come to Canadian Open...

 

[Erik]

sorry I'm with Matyas, he's still my heroe and team 'de base fils' member

 

[MAHTI-ANSSI]

Craig, are you trying to scare poor Matyas?

 

[Radu]

i wish both of you luck. i just hope the best times will come out and this competition might motivate you both.
i'm supproting you in your challange

 

[Mátyás Kuti(shaipo)]

We'll see Mr. Bouchard, we'll see...
I voted on myself...
Well, what would you do if you couldn't get the WRs?

 

[Mike Hughey]

Okay, now I'm sure I'm voting for Mátyás. He's been challenged, you see, and in the past that has always meant a quantum leap in his ability for the next competition. I suspect that now he'll beat his current personal best by at least 25% in his next competition, so Craig, I suspect you'll have to be awfully good to accomplish your goal.

But good luck anyway - I hope you manage it somehow.

 

[sam]

hahahah, very true Mike. I can almost SEE the asymptote .

 

[Me]

I have faith in you Craig!
Your challenging him might persuade me to try and beat his Rubik's Clock record. Good Luck, may the Magic be with you.

 

[edd5190]

I vote for Craig Sorry Matyi, you have to give the others a chance.

 

[Dene]

I vote Mr. Kuti!! Don't let me down!

 

[AvGalen]

Sorry Craig, but this time I will back up Mátyás.

People have also asked for more details. Could you answer the following questions:
* When do you consider to have beaten Mátyás? (faster than his current times, faster in a direct confrontation, beat him in a direct confrontation (accounts for DNF's), faster during the year, faster at the end of the year)
* What happens when someone else beats the both of you?
* What happens if you don't succeed?

 

[Stefan]

What happens if you don't succeed?

Obviously he'll then look like a presumptuous fool.

One clear statement he made is that he'll "by the end of 2008, hold the WR for magic, single and average". Oh wait, even that's not clear. Craig, do you mean the official or the unofficial records?

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

I'm pretty sure he means official WR.

 

[CraigBouchard]

Ok, to clear this up, as apparently it was badly worded, and everyone has asked me, it goes a little something like this:

I'm going to OFFICIALLY beat Matyas' records, thus holding the WR at some point in 2008, but if someone comes along and beats my records, and as long as that person is not Matyas, then that is ok, as I will still have satisfied both conditions, having held the WR, and beating Matyas. When I say "Beating Matyas" I mean faster single solve and average. And as for if I don't succeed, well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, right?

 

[LarsN]

I voted for Craig. Hoping that sheer determination will make him reach his goal.

But I would have voted for Henrik Buus Aagaard, ranking 2nd in average at the moment.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

i voted Kuti, my hero!
although, I'm not sure of how fast Craig is unofficially.

 

[MiloD]

I think every cuber has a matyas kuti complex...

...I know I do... heh

I guess I'll support Craig, I know how he feels...
