Irish Open 2011/2012

We were 15 in total if I remember correctly ?

DYK :

- Our plane on the way to Ireland was delayed by 2 hours, the one to go back to Belgium by 1 (bad luck ?)
- You can't rent a car in Ireland if you only have the copy of your driver's license
- We lost about 3 hours in Dublin's airport still trying to rent that stupid car
- After a while we eventually gave up and decided to meet Joey and Thom in Dublin to take the bus
- Turned out they didn't wait for us and were already on their way to Galway when we arrived in the city
- Which was probably a smart thing, because they were in the last bus that would make it to Tuam that night
- So after we arrived in Galway we had to hitchhike the last 40km (easy peasy)
- As everybody else, I am wondering how Tuam ends up being pronounced "Choom"
- Thanks a lot to Daniel for letting us stay in his room :)
- Baps are probably the fattest breakfast I ever had... but it's freaking good !
- Beers in Ireland are insanely expensive O.O
- I tried FM for the first time... turns out it's quite fun !
- It is absolutely cool to judge Daniel for blind (so fast :p)
- Ireland = new country = cool
- I managed to do make the cut off for megaminx (miracle)... and then did an 8 min solve (sorry James ^^)
- Best DNF ever on magic by Joey :D
- Thanks to the fastest winner's ceremony ever, we were on time to get our bus (which turned out to be late anyway)
- G.V.G.W. (good luck guessing what this means :p)
- Somehow Arnaud always thinks of stuff like removing the "U" of Supermacs :fp
- overall : a bit unorganized, but fun !
 
DYK

-Everyone at the comp was awesome?
-Joey is sooo good at OH?
-The stopwatches and pens started disappearing as the comp progressed?
-Arnaud's accent is awesome(So is Sam's)?
-I suck at BLD?
-My judge forgot to DNF my first solve, so I had to DNF it myself after my second attempt?
-2 move cross on 11.36?
-10.17 second try...
-8.23 is my first sub 10 average on pyra?
-I nearly fell over after my 15.83?
-I couldn't be bothered to do FMC?
-I always did worse in the finals?
-I gave Kelsey a solved square-1 to solve?
-My dad and I got badly lost on the way home?
- Tao prevented a UK clean sweep by winning 2x2

What does this mean:confused:


F2 U2 B2 D R2 U F' L2 R F' D2 L' B2 F L' D' B R2 B'

y x2 // inspection
R' U2' r U R2 x' // cross
R U' R' U R U' R' // 1st pair
U R' U R U' R' U' R // 2nd pair
(y' z) U' R' U z' U2' R U R' // 3rd pair
d2 U' x' U' R U R' x // EOLS / COLL skip
U' R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 U' // EPLL

Thanks sooo much, I remember almost nothing of that solve before I looked at your reconstruction:tu.
 
DYK...

- 16/17 podiums :( but still :)
- I finally managed to get an official 4x4 average that wasn't shameful
- Irish accent is confusing
- Zoé is amazing for typing in almost all the results herself.
- My 28 move FMC is here
- Every competitor scrambled and judged when I asked them too :)
- Only 4 competitors didn't podium
- Joey is consistent at 3bld. Very consistent.
- Thom won with a nice average!
- It was easier for Blake to say when his solves weren't NRs
- My first comp where there were no sub-10 3x3 singles
- I owe Joey 2 drinks for my sub-1 blds.
- He owes me the value of 2 drinks for staying in my room
- 9th on sum of single ranks :)
- Tao prevented a UK clean sweep by winning 2x2
- James got a nice FMC F2L, but has no idea how to LL.
- Kelsey is much faster at bld than anyone expected, and accurate.
- 3:07 winners ceremony = 11 seconds per podium - UWR?

Thanks man! I'm really going to concentrate on BLD and make it my main event. At the competition I was just using Old Pochmann corners and M2 Edges. I know BH for corners but I don't practice it at all and so I hesitate a lot and am not comfortable with it yet but hopefully I will be able to use it very soon :D I know it won't make me a lot faster but hopefully it will help. :D
