MIT Fall competition 2009

Also, I hope that anyone that has any video from the competition would link it in this thread. I'd be interested some of the many great solves again.

I took about half an hour of video before realizing I hadn't put my memory card back in my camera and had left it home, so I won't be able to contribute, sadly.
I should have actually bothered to get someone to record solves for me, and record others too.
 
And I don't know why Meryl Streep and I are apparently in love, but I would certainly be willing to take half her money in a divorce.

It's not all about the money Kian, do what your heart tells you.

Edit: What's with these multi-blind numbers :confused: Eh, I guess Bob is still proofreading/updating the results.
1 Chester Lian 47/91 7:52 NR Malaysia
2 Micael Boulet 6/10 54:39 Canada
3 Dan Cohen 51/101 12:47 USA
4 Andy Tsao 2/3 15:22 USA
5 Bob Burton 84/168 5:51 USA

The times are all correct but the numbers should read: 3/3, 6/10, 2/3, 2/3, 1/2.

Did you know that…
  • Mark is an excellent cameraman?
  • he puts way too much effort into lubing his 3x3s?

1 thanks, you two are wonderful friends and it's a pleasure to record y'all
2 first off you disassemble the entire cube and apply lube with apaint brush. because I use LESS lube MORE effectively then center spraying I spend LESS time because I don't have to frequently clean out excess gunk. also because of the way I spread the small amount in the acellerant that temporally softens the cube evaporates faster.

If I had a video camera like you I would shoot a video to explain it.
 
Did you know that…
  • when Jules and I were doing teamsolving with Roux, he did most of the first two 1x2x3 blocks on his own since I kept doing U4?
  • Taylor Brock-Fisher's nickname was 'Gwen Stefani'?
  • he didn't mind it?
  • Gwen confused a T perm with an R perm?

When Jules and I tried to teamsolve we realized that no two roux users are the same, I insert with F and he does it with R

I have no idea why I was Gwen, but I could only see half the cube so it looked like a T

I really need to get a new camera with a screen that isn't broken so it can at least tell me when there is no memory card.

Or I could just not be a moron and put the memory card in before I leave.
 
That is how my 6/10 multiBLD ended. Next time...
