Hello everyone. I'm flying in on 8/13, leaving 8/15. I'm not sure yet where I'll be staying, but if anyone happens to have extra space available I'll pay $40 or $50 a night for somewhere to sleep, even if it's on the floor. :]

I will be top 10 in North America for 6x6 if I get my normal average (5:00) and no one else that is new sets records faster.
And I will be like 57th or something for World Record
^_^
But on everything else, aside from 7x7, I fail.

Not even remotely close to possible.

I added that saying if I were to compete by myself, right now, that is where I would place. Which makes me happy.
I am in no way saying that I will be there, or that no one new will set official times.

The WR for 4x4 is a bit under 5 minutes. I can solve a 4x4 in about 2 minutes, so if I can memorize the cube in 30 seconds, I will BLOW AWAY the world record.

And I'll watch. I desperately want to see a WR set.

Since you can solve BLD in about a minute and a half, then with the full hour, you can do 40/40 in MultiBLD.

The world record for 3x3 speedsolve is 7.08. My PB is 14.xx. Therefore I have a 50% chance of setting the world record at nationals.

Based on...?

His math is kind of off, but the basis is this: There are two separate outcomes.
1) He gets the WR.
2) He doesn't get the WR.
So the probability of him getting the WR is 50%.
Tyson's post is an inside joke going back to 2005 or so.

Shouldn't it be weighted somehow? Like, someone who averages 1 minute won't get the WR when someone who averages 10 seconds will have the same scramble. So if he's the fastest person at Nationals, then he has a better chance. And yes, I saw your white text because I always highlight the page before reading it.
