[Ethan Rosen]

That's a really nice improvement, especially on gigaminx Mike. I look forward to competing against you next month.

 

[Mike Hughey]

That's a really nice improvement, especially on gigaminx Mike. I look forward to competing against you next month.

Thanks! I'm amazed how gigaminx seems to be one of my best events. I guess that's just because no one has ever spent much time practicing it, so I'm not so far behind on it compared to the other puzzles.

Note that I didn't accomplish my goal this month - I was still in last place other than DNFs on all events. But at least the gap above me was much smaller in most events, and I was first and last at the same time in one event.

 

[Ethan Rosen]

That's only because I forgot to do 3x3 clock. Next month you should have no trouble beating me.
