Discovery Science Center 2009

- My sum of the fastest 3x3 time I've had in competition and the fastest 3x3 time I've judged in competition is now only 20.03, probably one of the best in the world?
Even if f the judging and competing doesn't have to be in the same competition, I think you might actually have this record. Ron/Erik and Yu/Yumu are other condidates because they all have sub-10's and have a high likelyhood of having judged eachother. I don't think the NL team has ever judged the Japan team. Sometimes we have official judges that don't compete to judge
- Dropping my Type F the wrong way can make seven edge caps fall off?
- This counts as a DNF?
A Type F basically has 12+12+6 centercaps. My record for popping them is 17 (> 50%). Centercaps are non-functional pieces. You could have seven of them fall off without it being a DNF, but if all of them were edges.... How many of these caps could you pop with the cube still being unambigiously solved?
- Dene got exactly a 1:00.00 OH time (on purpose)? And Adam Zamora got a 1:00.01 OH? (Also Xavier Perez got a 1:00.03 2h, and Arthur Dunn got a 1:00.06 2h.)
As long as the judge knows and agrees with this foolishness it is fine with me, but doing this just because it is fun for the contestant is something I don't like. It can also be distracting for other competitors
- The guy with the fastest Square-1 single ended up with a DNF average?
- Even Dene Beardsley cannot pull off a perfect Square-1 scramble?
Did that guy study the scrambles and got confused because Dene messed it up ;)? I personally think Square-1 scrambling is easy because messing up mostly means that you can't finish the scramble
- We did 6x6 but due to harsh time constraints only allowed people who were certain to be under 4 minutes to do it?
- I somehow managed to get under 3?
- We didn't have time to do any other bigcubes?
We did do 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 in Germany (Gutersloh), but not at the normal competition area. It seems like we WANT to include bigcubes, but can't make time for it in a 2 day schedule
- Leyan Lo's girlfriend has all of the letters of "rubik's cube" somewhere in her name?
Which dating site has that function?

- Jeremy Fleischman won the Best Pants Award?
So from now on I have to choose between getting awards because of good time (pink pj's) and for clothing (pants). Or does "no pants" still gives me a chance on the Best Pants Award?
...Still, learn your WCA IDs people. When you don't fill it in, it makes our lives that much harder. And when I say our, I mean my. You bums.

I don't know about the 2H guys, but I do know that:
- My solve was going really badly; I messed up OLL three times (OH amnesia) and had a terrible R perm, so my solve actually ended at about 55 seconds, and I figured I may as well have a go at it.
- Adam's solve was for real; it was purely a coincidence that he got 1:00.01.

Jeremy was actually wearing Superman pajama pants. I think wearing pink pajamas would give you a good chance at the pants award.

Also I just realized that "pants" refers to underwear in British English, and their word for what we call pants is "trousers". This award must sound funny to some people reading this forum :p

Thanks, Arnaud :D
 
Shelley, my pink pyjama doesn't include (US) pants. However, just for decency I do wear (UK) pants (when wearing that pyjama).

Differences between UK and US English are confusing to me. I just mix the two and hope for the best.
Just for fun I will explain the Dutch version of pants:
Broek = Trousers
Onder-broek = Under-trousers
Broek-je = Women underwear ("je" at the end means small version. Obviously Dutch women are only supposed to wear small underwear ;))

It amazes me that you were Chan number four even when you started in 2004.

I also think I met my future wife: http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2007GALE01 at
