I changed my mind. All scrambles will be the same for events. That keeps it as fair as possible given the wide range of events. Times due in TWO days on Thursday 09/12 at 11:59 PM EST!

How much inspection time?
 
Reminder that times are due tomorrow at 11:59 PM EST! Only 1 person has submitted, but there is still well over a day.

I can't believe we're nearing the end of this comp. Only two more rounds after this!
I plan to submit tomorrow but I passed out this afternoon and likely have a concussion now.
 
QUARTERFINAL RESULTS


@CAPTAINVALPO96 @Abram Grimsley @Cubist-Guitar @bldcuber314 @SkewbIsTheBestEvent @AJT17

Amazing, astounding, sensational job. This was perhaps one of the most challenging rounds of this competition in terms of pure speedsolving, and you all did fantastic work. You also solved five puzzles in a row. That’s pretty neat!

The time has come. The top three competitors of The Battle of Wits and Whims (and therefore the three who podium) will be revealed. I made the results hidden for suspense. Click if you dare.


Cubist-Guitar | 36.84% from target

CAPTAINVALPO96 | 23.55% off from target

SkewbIsTheBestEvent | 22.07% off from target

bldcuber314 | 17.56% off from target

AJT17 | 5.58% off from target

Abram Grimsley | 0.54% off from target

He was the only competitor with a LOWER time than his target, and voluntarily chose to not use his advantage this round. Abe Grimmy deserves the advantage in the Semifinal Round 100%.

The semifinal format will be revealed in the near future. Stay tuned folks.

YES! YES! HECK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!! You guys have no idea how happy this makes me. I have never made it into the semifinals of ANYTHING. I am so happy right now.

Abe Grimmy
Also, please don't edit this. I have not had my name so mispronounced since 2012. It makes me laugh so hard. Thank you.
