Nebraska Open

you know the parent kid solve. What was the winning time ( my dad and i failed it) but my mom and i have got it down to 4:13.97 sec.

I think it was mid 3's.

Normally for a mystery event, we do a parent/child teamsolve, where the child is giving the parents instructions on what to turn. For this, we did it a little different and had the child hold their head down (or wear a blindfold), and the parents gave them instructions. I gave them a default strategy of pointing to a sticker and having the parents name the color, but some resorted to asking where the blue/yellow edge was, etc.

More DYK's.
...my wife watched as someone did their first OH solve using both hands, and once they finished, said, "DNF?!?!"?
...John Brechon's name sounds best (and correct) if you do it in a heavy French accent?
...it was the most comfortable competitor waiting area ever (nice couches).
...even when we had more stations than competitors, they would still go back to the competitor waiting area?
...Valentino's in Nebraska are way better than ones in Minnesota?
...for subsequent rounds, we could just use first names and have no conflicts, so that's all I wrote on the score cards?
 
Results are up on the WCA page. Question:
1 Waris Ali DNF USA DNF DNF DNF
2 Boris Perkhounkov DNF USA DNF DNF DNS
2 Ryan Olson DNF USA DNF DNF DNF
2 Ravi Fernando 5:57.22 USA DNF 6:16.18 5:57.22
?

Also, I don't recall placing in 2x2. Does anybody know whether the error was made at the competition or in the online submission? (In other words, should I have placed? ;))

... There was a cliptomaniac there?

Is this a bad spelling of kleptomaniac or was someone addicted to clips?

If you did have stuff stolen at the competition, let me know. I didn't have any issues and hadn't heard of any.

Bad spelling of kleptomaniac. I don't remember his name, but one of the younger competitors tried taking my stackmat when no one was picking it up at the end of the competition, and when Riley forgot his Jig-a-loo, it was in his back pack. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding...
