I was in the contests. First place in Peoria, IL with 48 seconds or so. Then I won 5th place in Chicago with 47ish seconds, 3rd in St. Louis with 46 seconds. I was only 13 at the time and it was just a thrill to be there with so many other avid cube-solvers. I still have my official Ideal "Cubists Do It Faster" T-shirts. From the St. Louis contest, which was held in a large outdoor mall, I managed to come away with one of the stage props which was a giant cardboard cube about 3 feet per side. I used it as a table for a few years, then it finally collapsed. Chris Pelley ck1@flnet.com
