Toronto Open Summer 2010

I just had to mention that, as far as I know, no one caught my NR on video... So, if by chance someone realizes that they have it, or any good videos of me for that matter, it would be super special awesome if you could send it to me. :)

I'm not going to get my hopes up though. :/

I didn't see any cameras around during your 8.09. :/
I actually had mine on during your solve since I was video-taping all of my solves and I was up the same time you were. It caught the part of you saying "YES! WHERE'S SARAH?", but it was pointed at my cube so it's kinda useless. I deleted it anyway. Sorries.
 
Dave posted the scrambles so I was able to reconstruct my 8.09 NR single.

I'm a blue-crosser so scramble with cross on B.
B2 D2 U2 R2 F U2 F D2 B2 L2 U2 L' U' B2 L2 B' F' R D' B F

Cross: x2 z2 D' U' x' U' R' F D
F2L 1: R U' R' y R' U' R
F2L 2: R U' R' U R U' R' U R U' R'
F2L 3: L' U2 L U L' U' L
F2L 4: U y' L' U L
OLL: U' F R U R' U' F'
PLL: U' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U F' L' U L (Sela <3)
56 / 8.09 = 6.92 tps

Not bad. :3

I did another nice solution

x y' R' D F' R'
R' U R U' R' U' R
U' L' U L
U y' R' U2 R U' R' U R
y' U2 R U R'

r U R' U R U2 r
R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 U

46 moves :)

with the same TPS it would've been a 6.5s solve :O

lol, I don't know how I missed that cross, but I'm glad I didn't do it like that. :P
Yes, your solution is arguably nicer, but that doesn't necessarily mean I would have solved it as quickly. Or, at least, I'd rather not think that. :P

The news story was finally released here: mms://216.18.70.242/ftvnews/program_archive/427_776.wmv

I had been waiting for that to be put online because I had got four of my final round solves on video from people and was told that the solve I was missing was shown on TV. So, I waited, and here it is. :D

I don't get what you mean by "mms://216.18.70.242/ftvnews/program_archive/427_776.wmv", is that video all there is?
