ah, the ridiculous red tape is one of the few things i don't miss about college. have you thought about having a math club or another club on campus host the room and costs? one would think that mit would have some clubs that already exist interested.
 
tim reynolds is there gonig to be and armonk 2009 competition? i live in pleasantville so it will be really really close. btw i am friends with evan stolatis and matt belenich they told me you went on ASP with them, which made me surprised there was another speedcuber who lived in pvilee
 
I'm not involved in organizing Westchester competitions anymore, so I couldn't say. It would be Harris and Ethan organizing it most likely. I might work on something this summer depending on where I am, but that's up in the air. What are your times like hippo?
 
I'm going to westchester to compete in 3x3, and to sell stickers. complete sets, fluorescent colors and standard colors. also have a black and light blue so you could have a set like the v-cubes colors. I'm trying to bring some competitors with me. my friend just started and he says he can slot the whole f2l in one big move. I watched him do it. makes me feel so dumb.
 
my times are alright i guess for the amount of time i've been cubing, i started at the beginning of the summer, 3x3 average: 26 pb:18.4(PLL skip), 2x2 average 9, pb 4.7, magic average: 1.74, pb 1.49. btw matt belenich is coming and he is entering in basically everything because he bought it all and knows how to do it, i think its pretty cool, the only bad thing is hes not really good at anything. but he can do it all megaminx and ect. btw i say you at the newark, i had brown curly hair and i asked you if you could fix my broken magic and you were like "eeeerrrrrggghh!" then i was saying "its ok its ok you don't have to" that took about a whole 5 seconds... btw my real name is jake ruth
 
Ahh that was you...yeah sorry about that, the one thing that came to mind was Trumbull 06 when I fixed Craig Bouchard's magic about 3 times and it took the entire day. Is anyone else from Pleasantville going? Vishal?

Good luck, wish I could make it to this...
 
don't worry about it i was able to borrow bob burton's, which was better then mine actually. Vishal is not going and matt was going to go but now he says he might have conflicting plans. I was actually wuite agrivated when i haerd that because we have been looking forward to it for a while. Luke tancredi is going though, i think his father is friends with your father because luke said that he emailed you or something .... i wasn't really paying attention. so yea from pleasantville its going to be me and luke
 
I got home from the Weschester Fall 2008 competition!

It was a lot of fun and I brought the same three friends I brought to the Newark Open 2008.

First round was 3x3, and I did not do very good. I got a 19 second average so it was so so. I made it into the 2nd round though! The first round took a very long time, went to like 12:30 and we started at like 9:45.

Then it was 2x2. I don't know what my average was but I did bad. Like I think it was 11 seconds or something.

Then came 3x3 OH. I didn't make it even close to the qualifications (lower than 35 seconds) but I got a new PB! :)

Magic was next. I got some new PBs but then I got a +2 on one of the solves and a DNF also. So I think my average is going to be worse than the average I got at Newark Open 2008.

Finally we got to the second round of 3x3. I did worse and got like a 20 second average. Didn't make it to the finals. :(

Last came 3x3 BLD. I had yet to complete one successful solve but I learned the method, so what the heck, it doesn't hurt to try. So I tried all 3 attempts and on all of them I wasn't even close to getting a successful solve.

Because of the amount of time the first 3x3 round took, a lot of the events were cut. They were: 4x4 speed, 5x5 speed, 4x4 BLD, 5x5 BLD, 3x3 Mutli-BLD, 6x6 Unofficial. I was unhappy about 4x4 and 5x5 speed because I actually practiced a little bit and I wanted to get better times! :(

Like Newark Open 2008, I made another AWESOME trade. The same kid gave me a used white V-Cube 7, and I gave him an Eastsheen 4x4, and my storebought 3x3. LOL. And then he wanted to refund my 5x5 trade I did with him at Newark but then later he got a brand new black V5 from Dan Cohen for $40.

It was an awesome competition, but I didn't do so well as expected. :( Well now I have lots of time to improve for the next competition (which will probably be in 2009)

I also saw Drew's awesome puzzles he built, including two Teraminx's!

One last thing, Rowe Hessler got a 52 second BLD solve. Shame I didn't see one of his great solves again. :(

Just got back also.

A couple of things... we had to cancel 4x4 and 5x5... so no new WR from me :(

Either way, I did well in 3x3, winning with a 13.80. I also had a 12.96 average in the 2nd round.

23.xx average for OH
15.18 single and 21.xx mean for sq-1 :D
10.15 avg for pyraminx


Let's not talk about Magic, MM, and Clock (except for a MM 2.4 single)

also, I FINALLY BROKE MY BLD STREAK and got a 1:29 :D

Hey Dan, remember me? I was the Chinese kid without glasses watching you when you hilariously broke your Master Magic, tried to fix it, failed, and finally realized that you could DNF it. :D
 
No 4x4 or 5x5 :(((((. Basically all I practiced for was 4x4. Magic was UGH..... My times were;
DNF(.97), .94(NAR), 2.93+, .97, 3.15+

Would have tied WR if I didn't get the +2s/dnf....

11.9x 3x3 single was good for me :). I did horrible for avg.

Also I apparently did good in pyra(even though I failed.) with a 11.xx avg. Apparently I'm not half bad at MM as well. I had like a 4.xx avg.
