Melbourne Summer Open 2010

Sadly, I didn't get wr in fishbone. [Insert fish related joke/pun here]

Will make a bigger post later on, but overall, it was a great comp, and well run.

2x2: 2.19? single, 3.03 avg
3x3: 8.33 single, 9.21 avg
4x4: 37.8x? single 42.01 avg
Btw, my 4x4 solves were like 38, 37, 55, 48, 39 :s
5x5: 1:07.65 AARGH R2 u' G PERM FTL. and 1:18 avg
Sq1: beat dene, he gave up cuz he's a nub.
Magic: lol everyone failed magic.
Pyra: 4.38/7.1? lol fail, easy single though.
BLD: Matt beat my Aur, and i got a 2:49 lol idc. Congrats matt!
Oh: Yeah, fail, 20.7x avg. times were like, 22, 16, 24, 22+, 16. heh.

Congrats also to matt with a 10.83 single in the final. pll skips ftw.
 
Ugh bloody media, they interrupted us halfway through 3x3, and made us all solve for like 15 mins and interviewed people. Oh and in the morning, me and dene hid from the media, and practised sq-1 :3
 
I got the 4x4 WR on tape, from directly in front, with the timer showing. I think Faz's Dad got all faz's solves on camera, lol. I'll post the 4x4 average after faz does.

Did you know:

-I came third in pyra, with a 10.08 average and a 7.09 single (0.01 slower than old 3x3 average, and 0.01 slower than 3x3 single.
-I had 26.xy, DNF(15) DNF(16) DNF(18) 19.xy in clock. :( I think one of my edge clock's in malfunctioning, as it was the same clock in 2 DNFs.'
-On the last solve, I was finished at like, 17, but I carefully checked the other side, like twice, and carefully laid down the clock.
-I actually expected faz to get 4x4 WR, which is why I filmed, but for 3x3 final, I was judging so I missed it.
-I am the worst judge ever.
-I've done heaps of 2x2 lately, but my 2x2 popped first solve.
-That solve would've been like 6.
-I used an es for the rest, and was like, 5 seconds over average.
-Me and Matt got 7.09 in pyra on the same solve.
-I'm really happy with every result, except pyra and clock (and 2x2, but that wasn't my fault)
-Dene is really weird.
-His Kiwi accent makes second sound like "sicund".
-I didn't feel much pressure.
-EVERYONE completely failed in Magic.
-Especially Jeremy who's done plenty on 1.1 solves and below, that I've seen.
-His best time was 2.xy
-I wish faz would hurry up and post his videos.
-Faz's Dad is really nice.
-Faz now has like 6/7 Haiyan cubes.
-I beat Anthony in OH average, he beat me on single.
-Australian cubers aren't good at 2x2.
-A big thankyou goes to Tim, who did all the organising.
-Great job Tim.
-I can't wait to get my WCA profile, and stare at it non-stop for hours.
-The news people were more nooby than me.
-:fp so hard to the female host of both shows.
-Dene basically scrambled for every event.
-Dene pulled out of Square-1.
-A guy came third in square-1 who takes like 1:30.

Can't wait until next comp :p

Edit:

After my second clock solve, people were applauding for quite a bit (8/9 seconds off the Aur)
Then, as faz was about to take it to Dene, I was like, wtf? check the other side, it had an edge 1 hour off. Everyone was like awwww....
That happened next solve.
And the solve after, read the above text for stuff about that.

Dene, I hope you see this edit, my comments were meant to be a joke, but someone pointed out they were pretty rude. I'm sorry, by weird, I mean, I don't know, I guess just different. You were really awesome, and came all the way from NZ just to delegate, did heaps of scrambling, it was great. And sorry about your accent, but I guess to you, our accents sound weird as well.
