US Nationals 2014 - Jersey City, New Jersey - August 1-3, 2014

Just to let everyone know, when my mom was exploring the venue, she noticed that it was extremely easy to take pictures of the scrambles with her camera from the second floor of the venue.
I just thought that I'd mention this so that hopefully the scrambles can be a little more secure in future venues.

- While waiting backstage for Good Day New York, someone told us that his uncle used to be able to solve a cube while he was sleeping?

Did he think that's impressive? Did he not realize that you're able to solve 1000 cubes while he is sleeping?

Canadians call napkins serviettes?

I just do that when I forget the real English word.

Related: Some of the FMC competitors were in the main room. This meant that someone could've seen the scramble and signaled a very short FMC-like solution they found with Cube Explorer by playing it out on the Groovik's cube. A little farfetched but still possible

Nats was pretty good for FMC means. Not only did Vincent tie #1, but 4 of the top 10 and 26 of the top 100 got their records there.

DYK:
Thompson was born in St. Lucia?

I knew where St. Lucia is, do I get a half point?

Doesn't it mean napkin or gianthankie? (The ones they give you at restaurants.

Aha! I figured out how to inline images.

Here's one of all the finalists (except Rowe):

Here's a rectangularized version of my 360° pano of Finals. (Click to get a draggable panorama; if on mobile, open link in G+ app to get drag controls.*)



* Seems in the G+ app on Android, at least, you can tape the compass icon to get accelerometer-based panning; it'll be like you're there!

Do any of the organizers have the scrambles and could post them here? Thanks.
