I think you mean Thom and myself :)
Yes it is.

Did Simon use one of your cubes then?

Oh, I meant to ask, why do you have pink on all of your cubes?

Good question. Because I find light/dark easier to distinguish. That, and if I lose it, its pretty sure to be returned to me.
 
Great weekend, so many awesome people to talk to. On with business then.

DYK:
I was ridiculously lucky and set quite a few PBs?
Apart from 7x7 which I failed and decided to DNF?
I always seem to miss exciting things happening? (eg. I only knew when Daniel was doing his first 4BLD attempt after he set WR)
Breandan taught me the basics of juggling?
I can't juggle?
Deliberate DNFs in H2H are cool?
We didn't get thrown out of McDonald's?
I REALLY need to get a blindfold?
Round one megaminx results were crazy?
And out of the 4 close results, I had the worst average but best single?
Rob must have a really strong neck to carry all those medals?

Now, I need to go update my signature. Also, @Daniel: if you find the FMC scramble can you send it to me please? I wanna mess around looking for a 5-cycle insertion for Breandan's solution for lols.
 
All results are now online here

My 666 and 777 results are missing...

Anyway, it was a great comp, thanks for organising it.

DYK:
- I got lots of pops with my Guhong ?
- that's why I've decided to swith to my Lunhui from now on ?
- I got pops in two Square-1 solves too but the times were still respectively 25 and 26 ?
- my 44 in the finals happened because I did two parities ?
- I also got a pop at 4BLD in the middle of a comm but still managed to continue the solve normally fter fixing it ?
- but the solve was DNF for other reasons ?
- the megaminx results in the first rounf were funny ?
- in the finals I got my fourth 1:54.xx official single but I am still unable to beat my 1:54.00 official PB which is 2 1/2 years old now ?
- the only official PB I broke was my OH single ?
- I DNF'd the multi (3/8) because I applied a correction to a cube which didn't need it ?
- Joey's French is improving ?
- Chris Wall really looks like a shorter version of Spef ?
- Daniel's 3BLD first attempt was only 1 second faster than his 4BLD WR ?
- more to come ?
 
I've tried to use mine, unsuccessfully. When I click paypal, it keeps saying 'payment unsuccessful'. Did you, or anyone else who has used the coupon, have the same problem?
PM me the code on your voucher and I'll ask them

Anyone interested can also have a go at continuing my start if they want: Premove L2. 2x2x3: R2 F2 D2 F2 D2 L2
According to the live results, Breandan got a 41:56 OH single...?
I've sent a correction off. Thanks

I've found your 777 scoresheet and sent the result off, but not the 666...it's not in the envelope with all the other ones :(

If it can help, I did my last 666 attempt on Sunday early morning, between WF and the first round of 333. Maybe my scoresheet has landed in one of the two corresponding envelopes ?

Anyway, if you can't find it, it's not very important, I didn't make the top 3 and my times were not PBs either. But they were still good times for me so it's a bit frustrating...

I think I know what happened, and I sincerely apologise for it. When I was typing in the feet results, I remember that I did your results, then came across another scoresheet with your name on (and maybe a similar time too). I wrote all the feet scoresheets myself so I presumed this was a shoresheet that you put your name on, and was simply a defunct extra. Unfortunately I threw it away. So sorry :(
 
Yep, my 666 times and my WF times are quite close to each other (yes I suck at WF :p)
For the record, my 666 times were 4:16.xx 4:46.xx 4:41.xx or something close to that.

Thanks :). Breandan, you will kick yourself :p.

Breandan's skeleton: z * D F L u R' U2 R y' R' u L' U L u' U R U' F' U F U
Insert at *: [D' R U': R E' R' E] = D' R U' R E' R' E U R' D
Solution: z D' R U' R E' R' E U R' D2 F L u R' U2 R y' R' u L' U L u' U R U' F' U F U = 31 moves, if I counted right.

Anyone else care to do better?
