Did you know...
-This is the first "did you know post"
-I am still "master of 4th place"
-The one and only Thompson Clarke said, "your my pick for the next generation of Canadian cubers"
-I had the best 4x4 single of the whole competition
-I came 4th in 4x4
-I came 4th in 5x5
-I called Antoine's OH WR average

The one and only Thompson Clarke said, "your my pick for the next generation of Canadian cubers"

You're set for life.

 

[antoineccantin]

By the way, my second round 9.24 average had a counting +2. Without it, I would have gotten 8.58 NR average.

Yeah, they entered a time wrong, same with the second round which was 2.16 at first.

The 2.07 would've been 1.91 without the last solve +2 :/

EDIT: DYK:

I videobombed Antoine's last solve of the WR?
- Pretty dark lighting?
- Antoine is awesome?
- He wouldn't let me race him in 2x2 or feet, but just the events he was better than me at (everything else)?
- Canada has cream flavored soda/pop/fizzy drink/crush?
- USA?
- Two 18.75s and an 18.74 (well, 18.749 xD) in an OH average?
- Last solve was DNF because my arm scraped the timer?
- If I ended up getting 18.75 or lower, not only would I have gotten an 18.75 comp PB (first sub 20) by a lot average, but a 0 standard deviation?
- I can't say ready for about 20 seconds because I have to wait for my grandpa to come and make me turn on the phone because he doesn't know how?
- Counting 14 for Antoine?
- I almost got sub 10 on all three rounds, but especially final, where I failed the easy last solve then got .03 off of podium?
- I get nervous in freaking skewb? (i.e. after 3-4 second layer, I had a 3 center cycle around one corner, then got 15)
- 40.59 4x4 single had DP? :/ could've beaten 38.25
- I literally just made excuses (above) for not getting comp PBs in every event except for pyra and BLD?
- People want trades for my cubes?
- We left in the morning for a 5 hour drive, so I was ready to sleep at 3?
- Terrible comp for my times?

EDIT: any leftover cubes? I feel like I dont have everything, but havent been able to check yet.

 

[Genius4Jesus]

Did you know (part 2)...

-Kit has something against Canadian money
-I had more DNFs this competition than I've had in my whole cubing career
-I had three pops (bad pops) on 5x5 that cost me podium
-In my opinion the chairs where uncomfortable
-In my opinion the room had mediocre lighting
-The mediocre light made me see a Gc PLL instead of a Ra PLL
-The PLL fail gave me a DNF
-The DNF gave me a 13 average instead of a low 11.
-TOsp 2014 was still great

[Coolster01]

Would Dave be able to post the scrambles by any chance?

 

[Sa967St]

Did you know...

- three people used Rubik's brand 3x3x3s?
- about a third of the competitors were first-time competitors?
- Kit wore a canadianCUBING shirt under his Team USA jacket?
- it took just as long to get out of Toronto as the rest of the ride back?
- we passed by Eric's car a few times on the highway?

 

[Genius4Jesus]

The scrambles are usually put up on the competition website.

 

[Genius4Jesus]

One of those people using a Rubik's was a younger boy I got into speed cubing . Also, the fact that Kit had the canadianCubing shirt and Team USA jacket on was a little contradictory in my opinion.

Alright, cool.

How could I forget, DYK:

- You must ask where someone lives exactly when you first meet them? (ahem: me to antoine)
- Credit card number and color of mailbox I also required?
