Virginia Open 2008 results

Im not sure if it was you, Bob but it it the one where you get a layer, and then get another layer and repeat until it's solved?
 
OK, results complete.

Nice job Rowe! Those 2x2 scrambles aren't really easy, but they're fast...

I got:
2.94 2.58 3.68 5.38 2.83 = 3.15

This is after a 4 day vacation and I have cold hands, but I am at home :)

I hope I can get somewhere near you in Indiana

Why was the 4th one so hard for everyone? I got a XLL (PBL) skip on that in the comp.
 
1. Baian! Did you get AsR?

2. Where's the pyraminx scrambles? I want to beat the first place times!
If you know my method, you know that if you can turn faster than 3tps on it, you can beat the WR easily when you perfect it. :D

Edit: Lotsofsloths, Bob, anyone? Can you email me all the scrambles? Thanks!
I especially want Pyraminx, FMC, 3OH and 3speed scrambles.

Edit2: Nooo!!!! Baian, you DNFed on FMC again!?! I guess I should have went. I don't believe in hard scrambles. Even if It's the hardest scramble ever, something around 40 should still be quite easy. Well, congrats on 2x2 NR!

I wish I had went there. Good thing I didn't miss too much, just a chance to win FMC and Pyraminx. I'm not even so ready for them yet. Next time I go to a competition, I'm going to make sure I can sub-30 average OH easily, have high BLD accuracy, sub-35 FMC nearly 100%, and sub-NAR pyraminx easily.

I believe Baian got a national record.

I believe you could easily beat my pyraminx times. I don't have a good pyraminx method anyway... it just happened to be that nobody was fast at pyraminx at this competition...

If you don't mind, what exactly is your method? I would be interested in learning a better speedsolving method.

Look at the speedsolving wiki. It is the FP method (Face-Permute) It's like the EG method for 2x2. You make 1 face, then learn 20 algs and solve all. It's not done yet. I have 8 algs, but not the complete version of everything yet.

Hm, that sounds interesting (and it's definitely better than my current method). But how are you going about solving the puzzle without all the algs? And is there anywhere where I can find the algs that you currently have?
