I was the sole prize-winning Canadian in the US contests (the 2nd one). Unfortunately, that was not really allowed by the rules so the feat was never recorded in the Ideal newsletters, though I still have my medal from Sept. 28, 1981 from Buffalo New York. My time was around 38 seconds... although I did improve after that a bit. There are other people from the cube contests that are on the internet: Myself, Chris Pelley, Robert Jen.... I was never sure if Mike Reid of Cube-Lovers was the same Mike Reid in the cube contests... I was in the Canadian contests too, although no prizes there. I did get a yellow certificate for making to the final round (under a minute). I went to London and Toronto Ontario. Erno Rubik was at the Canadian Championships at the Ontario Science Centre. Ron Lancaster was also a judge, and Stewart Sims from Ideal Toy was there.
