Did I get a medal I didn't deserve? :( I'll give it back next weekend if there was a mistake with the results :(

No, John's wrong...you came in second.

There was a mistake in the results though...Dan actually came in 4th in 3x3 with 13.00. Everything will be corrected when it's uploaded to the WCA site.
 
wow i really wish i didnt mess up everyone of my crosses cus apparently your times go way up when you have all 10 second crosses..... who knew
 
Awesome competition! I finally got to meet so many people I've wanted to meet :D

Did you know...
  • that this was my first competition in America?
  • and it was awesome?
  • that I had so many +2s I don't even remember how many I had?
  • that Ian Winokur only uses the two front slots for team BLD?
  • and doesn't know the difference between Sune and Antisune?
  • and just calls them lefty Sune and righty Sune?
  • that we're telepathic because I immediately knew he meant R perm when he said "7"?
  • and was my judge for about half my solves?
  • and actually noticed that I use COLL when he saw my long pause at the bowtie OLL? (good judges pay attention :D)
  • that Bob recognized me as "the team BLD guy"?
  • but I didn't recognize him? :fp
  • that Sarah was my awesomest partner for team BLD today?
  • that we had an antisune + PLL skip?
  • like Nakajima's OH ex-WR?
  • but I don't remember what the time was?
  • but it beat her previous personal best?
  • that she has an awesome blindfold with glitter beads on it?
  • and is really comfortable to put on because it's really cushiony and stuff?
  • that the bowtie OLL is also called "the finger" OLL?
  • that "the finger" OLL is also called retarded fishy by people who think purple is the best color?
  • that chameleons are actually hammerhead sharks in disguise?
  • that there are dead guys on cubes?
  • and frying pans?
  • and broken frying pans?
  • that angelfishes actually look like "R"s?
  • that when Ian says spin right he means a y' rotation and when Sarah says spin right he means a y rotation?
  • that it's really hard to go back and forth between them for team BLD?
  • that I still haven't figured out who the random guy who kept trying to distract me during team BLD was?
  • that Forte can pronounce my last name right but doesn't want to?
  • that Sarah thought it was pronounced lion, like ROAR lion?
  • that Forte is a really good singer?
  • and dances randomly to entertain himself when everyone's just hanging around wondering what to do next?
  • and turns his square-1 real smooth?
  • that I heard some random kid say pie-raminx instead of pyraminx?
  • that Stachu didn't buy any stickers from me after all because none of us could remember what he ordered?
  • and he judged me for 4x4x4 BLD at which I FAILED miserably today?
  • and he's really awesome to hang out with?
  • because statues don't talk? :D
  • that I sucked hard at all speed events today? (which is actually only two events for me :p)
  • that Josh the Panda is my lucky judge?
  • because he volunteered to be judge at his first competition?
  • which is pretty awesome?
  • that Kirby beat me at my first BLD attempt by 0.06 seconds?
  • and completely destroyed me at my second attempt because I was stupid enough to triple check my edges when I had them memorized in about 7 seconds?
  • because I thought there was going to be a third attempt?
  • and there actually wasn't?
  • and everyone else, too, thought there was a third attempt?
  • that Michael Jackson had a girlfriend in my story for my second BLD attempt?
  • but I can't really say what happened between them in my story in a public forum like this one? ;)
  • that I lost my timer twice and found it three times? :cool:
  • that I went to the bathroom 17 times today to run my hands in warm water and to wash them with soap to get the sweat off? (yeah I counted)
  • that I carry my towel with me everywhere I go?
  • because sweaty palms suck?
  • that I stood for my first 9 OH solves and had a couple of +2s and lots of crappy solves?
  • and I got a sub-20 single when I randomly decided to sit for my last solve?
  • that Sarah has perfect pitch?
  • or at least makes random guesses at random notes Forte randomly sings?
  • that Jules and I had Jules for breakfast this morning?
  • that Jules actually has Jules for breakfast every morning?
  • because he's racist?
  • and I'm racist too?
  • that Jules DNFed his first 4x4x4 attempt so he couldn't get a second attempt?
  • and he DNFed his 5x5x5 too?
  • but he pwns at Roux OH solves just 'cause he can sub-60?
  • and he can't slice for OH?
  • that Jules and Sarah managed to do two team solves with Roux AND Fridrich?
  • and the Roux one kinda took forever?
  • and it was really funny?
  • that I had 2 DPs for 4x4x4 but they're actually single parities for me because I use a DP alg to fix OP?
  • that Tyson yelled at me when I tried to pick up someone's corner when his cube exploded?
  • but he's actually really nice to talk to when he judged me for my second BLD attempt?
  • and he has a BLD book written by Chuck that's in Indonesian?
  • and I'm hoping I can understand it?
  • that I really want to thank Tim Reynolds for organizing this amazing competition?
  • and everyone who turned up to make it such an awesome one?
  • and everyone else who helped out to keep it running smoothly?
  • that I'll be adding more stuff to this list even though I know no one really bothers to read the whole thing?

I lost my package of stickers.

It's a bubble envelope just like cubesmith sends and there's a bunch of complete fluorescent white replacements sets inside for several cubes. On the envelope, I wrote, STICKERS in black marker

I also lost a small yellow towel.

Please PM me if they were found

Except for me failing quite hard in just about everything, losing my stackmat and mini QJ 4x4, and breaking my meffert's 4x4 minutes before I had to compete, it was quite a fun competition :).

Does anyone happen to have a stackmat and/or a mini QJ 4x4 that isn't their's?
