I don't know how one would determine appropriate compensation for use of a spray can of Jig-A-Loo. The costs are variable, and it's difficult to determine how much product is dispensed per second of holding down the spray nozzle.

(I'll bring along mine and I'll let you use it)
 
Did you know...

-Meep needs to do an average of 10,000 on 3x3, like right now.
-Meep got 2 1:02 singles
-Meep's reduction on the second 1:02 was :46
-Meep's reduction on the first 1:02 was :44
 
Just wanted to say that the competition was awesome. :D
I did surprisingly well (almost three 12.xx averages, stupid +2...) and I NEVER do that well in competition. Also Finals were the most lolfinals ever. :p

edit: Because it hasn't been mentioned yet: Matthew Yep 14.32 square-one average NAR
I have the last 4 solves on my camera, I'll send it to him later this week when I get home so he can upload it.

More DYKs:

-It's only possible to pronounce "Jacobus", "VanderGriend", and "LoPrete" properly after bungling it multiple times, and being corrected each time. At which point, the microphone will be handled over to someone, who will continue to bungle it multiple times.
-To add further insult to injury after failing to make second round, a thick black marker was drawn right through my name to indicate where the cut off was. Must practice more.
-Sarah can recognize PLL cases from two sides, but cannot locate the bathroom when there are two signs pointing to it.
-Forte's hand will be famous.
-Sending money to the Catholic Church is a good incentive to quit smoking.

You can upload my Square-1 solves on your channel if you want, I don't upload videos on mine.

Did you know...
-the elevator didn't even finish F2L yet?
Click to expand...
-the venue was a mall hallway that had a random window on the wall?
-on the other side of the window was a Winners?
-more specifically the lingerie section of Winners?
-there was a table in front of the window with two timing stations?
-these were the two timing stations used for 3x3x3 finals?
-there were people inside the Winners crowding around who were watching the finals through the window?
-like, there were 8 or so people all staring out of the window just standing there for 15 mins?
-there was a little boy at the window during square-1 and I tried to scare him?
-he did eventually get scared and run through the lingerie aisle?
-the 3x3x3 final pairs were "randomly computer generated"?
-"the random computer generator" was Justyn Houle who thought it'd be funny to pair me with Desie four times and call it a coincidence?
-"you know what else is tight" *stare* ?
-"you know what else is gummy...gummy worms!" ?
-Thomas likes brown bawls in his mouth?
-Forte=Mr. Hollywood?
-"IS THIS MIC ON?"?
-you could actually adjust the volume on the mic?
-the louder you are the more right you are?
-there were many Tim Hortons signs but finding the Tim Hortons was a challenge?
-I was freaking out because there were no recycling bins for paper in the food court and we had paper waste from Tim Hortons?
-me putting my hair in a ponytail while holding a blindfold and wearing a nametag and pajama bottoms in the public washroom must have been lol for the other people there?
-at the Subway Thomas was talking about his septum piercing and I asked "does it tickle your nostril?" and the people in the line around us were WTFing, not knowing the context?
-there was a small piercing jewelry shop that had ossim colourful labrets and industrial barbells, but none were in my size?
-Kevin Hays borrowed my 2x2x2 after I borrowed his at the Canadian Open?
-the V-cube 2 with maru lube is godly?
-I had a 2.61+2 2x2x2 single which was lol?
-Kevin Hays still loves pyraminx?
-...and maru lube, lots of it?
-Thomas got really excited when he saw that he placed 20th in the first 3x3x3 round since top 20 made the next round?
-it turned out that there was an error and he actually placed 21st?
-Kevin Matthews competed in magic for the first time without knowing how to solve it?
-like, he actually just bought one and was opening it at the timing station right before competing in it?
-he didn't even know what the solved state looked like?
-I was solving at the timing station beside Meep's during his second 5x5x5 single NAR, and when he got up and everyone was cheering I walked over still solving my 5x5x5 during an official solve to see what he got?
-during my last 5x5x5 solve I walked around because I was tired and felt like walking around?
-I did all of the edge pairing and most of the 3x3x3 stage during the two laps of venue that I walked?
-I finally gave Desie some chocolate that I owed her from Toronto Open Fall 2008?
-when we were about to leave the venue I was lazy and just sat on the floor and Thomas tried to drag me by pulling on my backpack?
-he managed to drag me for a few meters?
-Vince prefers "Did You Nos" over "Did You Yeses"?
-team BLD and teamsolving with Thomas didn't go as well as I hoped, since he uses Roux and doesn't know most OLLs and PLLs?
-he likes all colours except yellow?
-Jameson has his own business cards?
-I managed to spill every kind of drink I had that day (water, Monster and orange juice) on my shirt?
-"the washroom is...on the ceiling?" ?
-MeepNAR!
-KeviNAR!
-NARtthew Yep!
-three ossim competitions in three ossim weekends in a row :3 ?
-that also meant three giant cans of Monster (with lids!)?
-PANcouver!

Heck yeah. Thanks to Kevin, I've almost completely recouped my losses from buying all that crap specifically for Big Cubes BC 2012. Which arrived the day after Big Cubes BC 2012. Which I had to sell, on my own, without the backdrop of a competition, ever since Big Cubes BC 2012.

Thanks for coming out. Marginal improvements to my PBs aside, overall those past two weekends have probably done more to improve my cubing (in general) than learning all my PLLs.
