I’m not as good as I should be lol.
Now all I have left is 3BLD and 3x3 to do an ao100 on.

I just had a thought: doesn't the mgc squan come with black caps?

 

[GeographicalCuber]

I just had a thought: doesn't the mgc squan come with black caps?

Mine didn't, so I don't think they do.

 

[Cubinginatree]

I just had a thought: doesn't the mgc squan come with black caps?

Yes I believe so, at least mine did.

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

I just had a thought: doesn't the mgc squan come with black caps?

Yeah, mine did

 

[GeographicalCuber]

Yes I believe so, at least mine did.

They might have changed it between when we got ours? I got mine about a year ago.

Cus I have not touched the caps on this sq1

Edit: my unused caps

But there were black caps in the box, therefore it comes with black caps just not on the puzzle itself

Ohhhh I thought you meant that it came with black caps attached, sorry for the confusion.

Calling all Linux Users out there:
I've installed Ubuntu version 22.04 on my acer c720 chromebook. However, it's been forever since I've used this device and now I have forgotten the password. One issue that I have encountered: I have tried to enter recovery mode, but the chromebook will not let me enter the mode to be able to change the password. I've tried multiple times and even spent 30 dollars on a USB to try to boot from that live USB and be able to uninstall the bad version of linux and reinstall it with my new password. I'm stuck at the moment.

So day 1 of the comp is today. I’m competing in clock, mega, and 5-7.

 

[Garf]

9.59 average for clock with a 7.94 single for clock, and a 2:07 single for 3-BLD so far.

How come WCA live says you DNF’d all your 3BLD solves?

It’s complicated. I’ll explain later.

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

9.59 average for clock with a 7.94 single for clock

Bro is fire at Clock!!

 

[Garf]

51 average with a 45 single for mega.

 

[Garf]

3:01 mean with a 2:53 single on 7x7, a 2:13 mean with a 1:58 single on 6x6, and a 1:16 average with a 1:05 single on 5x5.

 

[Garf]

@gsingh I almost beat 7x7 for us lol.

 

[Garf]

Also I'm going to explain solve 2 for the 3bld mean:
1. It was a success, to be clear. I got a 2:07, but...
2. I didn't start the timer. However...
3. The judge timed the solve using the stopwatch. Unfortunately...
4. We were unsure whether to count the solve, Carter checked with someone and apparently they said it was a DNF. Furthermore.
5. I counted it as a DNF. Then this popped up:
6. @Tabe and I talked about it and he said it should have counted. So then...
7. I went to talk to the time enterers and talked to them about the situation. Now...
8. They are going to talk with the WDC about this to see if the ruling can get overturned due to a miscommunication and a workaround with one of the regulations. I mean I'll take the DNF but I hope it gets counted so that I can get a PR for that event.

 

[Garf]

10.02 average with a 3.44 single for Pyra. This event is dumb.

 

[Garf]

gist for today: everything was wild, 3x3 was wildly bad.
