Harvard Fall 2011

[blackzabbathfan]

I am super excited for this comp but i probably should have practiced more. I spent the past week working on 3BLD and haven't touched a 4x4 or 5x5 in weeks.

Currently in the Marriott, very nice hotel, just had a swim after a 5:30 megabus ride (meant to be 4:15), now watching some college football.
kitten, are those demo only? If they're good I was thinking of buying one. Or is it just the rules within the competition?

Edit: ah crap starts at 8, I was hoping to shower, eat then work out the train system. I'll probably get a taxi then :/
And thanks Andrew.

Bob didn't allow him to set up a table last time, but if Phil brings his stuff, you could just ask him.

Tables are not permitted to be set up by vendors at east coast competitions. However, no one would probably care if you bought a cube out of Phil's backpack.

The trains are really VERY easy, all you have to do is find the "Red Line, Inbound towards 'Alewife Station'" and just get off at Harvard Square. You can just ask around to find the building, it's like .2 miles away from the stop.

Except magic, 444, and BLD, I had decent results

OH I got. 20.xx LL skip. And then 22 full step. Average was barely not sub30.
2h, 15.01 average 2nd round. Fails both rounds. Blah. At least I'm out of my megafail stage
444, pop every solve with minimum of OLL parity. Awesome
555 I finally have an official average! 2nd solve made cutoff. 2:39 average. Meh.
BLD. Two dnfs then on 3rd I triple check memo, off by two twisted. 1:28.xx. I should have practiced this past week. I'm slow on comms again.
222, decent. I'll take it.

Also Frank Morris introduced himself to me here . He looks like the new James Bond. Whatever his name is.

DYK to come later when I'm not on my phone

 

[Tim Reynolds]

24:15 5bld. Also like 14 minute 4bld.

Fun competition. Great to see frank lawrence again.

 

[JyH]

Dunno if I broke 3x3 average.
1:45 BLD looooooool. 3 flipped corners, 1 solved edge, the memorization was really easy.

 

[rowehessler]

good comp for me overall.
got 2 more sub10 avgs in 3x3, (9.87, 9.82). also got 7 more sub10s, putting me at 97 official sub10 solves . Also i finally got a new OH pb avg, 15.95.
congrats to andy on the win!

Megabus WiFi+default phone browser = terribad access/lag.
-5.43 pyra average with 3.44 single.
-19.19 oh single that should've been sub 18 but I undid first 2 turns of antisune, started wrong COLL then realised it was just normal antisune alg.
-lol-by-4 failnub parities
-222 DNF finals average with best single being DNF.
Moar later when I can use a noncrappy browser. Fun comp, lighting and temp sucked though :/

 

[Andrew Ricci]

I failed terribly in the last round, but I did manage to get a decent average in the second round. Frank Morris looks like Daniel Craig, but I failed and didn't say anything to him. D:

Anyway, I talked to Mike, Tim, Jeffrey, and Ryan a ton. It was an awesome competition, despite my terrible results. I'll hopefully see all of you at Liberty Science!

Jeffrey

ohai

I MISSED FRANK MORRIS? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

 

[Andrew Ricci]

I MISSED FRANK MORRIS? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

I know, I was ridiculously surprised to see him there. I didn't even believe Mike and Ryan when they said it was Frank.

Did you know Frank Morris can do a Q perm?

 

[Kian]

I know, I was ridiculously surprised to see him there. I didn't even believe Mike and Ryan when they said it was Frank.

I miss ONE Northeast comp and he's there? This is remarkable. Why was he there?

I know, you were missed. :'(

I'm pretty sure he was on vacation, but I'm not entirely certain.

[RyanReese09]

Not vacation. Going to visit his wifes family and he is travelling all over the east coast. I did not know he would be leaving the philly area though. I was surprised when he introduced himself to me as Frank.
