[Official] Feliks Zemdegs: 9.16 avg, final round of Australian Nationals 2010

darn, I look so stupid in the bakground

You think you look stupid? I was randomly leaning over in the first solve, and then stood up and started clapping when he finished. :p Why was I even there? I must have just been supporting Brian. :)

Edit: It surprises me that Faz never fails under pressure in the finals, or on his last solve of the comp. He actually seems to do better.
LOL
But how could you have been supporting me when I went first and faz went last, all the other times?? what were you doing

I don't know, watching? I guess I probably shouldn't have been standing there if I wasn't in the finals. I was so young and foolish then. :)
blah blah blah
young and foolish, once again
(gonna go now, stop posting)
 
Even if the 9.44+2 wouldn't be a DNF, shouldn't it be a +2 twice (so +2)?
Because he stopped the timer with his wrists...

"A6i) Time penalties for Ending the Solve are not cumulative. There is a maximum of 1 time penalty for Ending the Solve." If it had two +2s it would have turned into a DNF.
 
If it had two +2s it would have turned into a DNF.

I was under the impression that A6i just ment you can't get more than a +2 (ex 2 penalties would still be a +2) but either way misalignment is not counted as a time penalty for ending the solve (it's a time penalty awarded by solved state section of the regs) where stoping with wrists is so in this case it could have been a +4 if the judge had determined that he stoped with his wrists.

Personally I probably would have given a DNF for touching the cube though because he should know better.
 
If it had two +2s it would have turned into a DNF.

Is that in the rules?

No. The rule says there is maximum of 1 penalty for each state, in my understanding it rather means a DNF, then only one +2.

Come to think of it, the rule says the penalties are not commutative for each state: starting and ending a solve. So if someone starts the solve after a 16 seconds inspection (which is a +2) and stops it with both hands not being flat (also a +2) is it a +4? Again, in my understanding it should be a DNF rather then a +2 or a +4.
 
If I was Olivér I would be cool. Well said Sir!

If I was Olivér I would be in love with myself :3

Thank you guys! ;) (Rowan: That sentence came off slightly weird, but I know what you meant, and I feel the same way. :))

If I was Erik I'd be scared.

If I was Erik I'd be practicing.

If any of you were Erik you would be so much cooler ;)

Not to mention faster, and a proud owner of a general knowledge of competitive speedcubing.

I hope you guys do realize that this was a bad idea.
