Have you loosened/lubed your floppy cube yet?

Saw it on TV tonight. They showed Waris's full 9 second solve. I'll ask the station if they can release a very high quality version of that video to put on a website, hopefully without my crap interview part.

Waris: I love the signature. THAT was my favorite part of the competition.

Some stuff that happened:

The camera crew came by and was filming a bunch of high 20 and even some 30 second solves. We were doing Group A at the time, and Waris was in Group B. So I end up doing Waris's Group B scrambling for him ahead of schedule and told the camera to just film all of his solves. So we found the best station for the camera angle and one of the solves happened to be 9.93.

During some slower event (pyraminx?) all of the sudden we hear from the competitor's area ("Who is Bob Burton?") Everyone turns and looks, and the kid next to him is like, "He said it! Not me!" and pointed to the kid next to him. I ask the kid who he was, but he didn't respond.

We finally have enough free time for a mystery event. It was a team solve with kids and parents. 4/5 groups finished around the 8 minute mark. One of the 4 DNF'd because they were doing something, and the cube had a three edge cycle left, but the dad saw two solved sides and stopped the timer. We also held up the microphone to hear the contestants giving instructions.

Byran what was wrong with your interview?

Byran what was wrong with your interview?

I thought they would ask some more straightforward questions, but when you pull the answer to "Why is this important?" out the air and then they take bits and pieces of that, it somewhat sucks.....

I asked them, they referred me to their website where you can order the DVD for $25.....

I'm guessing the video will be posted on Monday. I don't think they're going to spend time working on getting this done on the weekend.
