Is it on like the box or is it like a big image in the front of the hall or something?

What's the most shocking shocker that you have had doing a competition?

Like either an image that you were like, fuck this, or you've dropped shit all over the floor.

Like, have you had ever had anything shocking happen to you?

That's nightmare territory.

That kind of leads me into my next question, which is like, where are you in the world of competitive puzzling?

Like, where do you kind of sit in that world?

And as a side question, like, where does America sit in those world charts?

So it's tough out there.

The competition's tough.

Yeah, right.

And like where in the world is there certain countries that generally chart like higher than other countries?

Really?

That's why you're good at puzzling?

It's in my blood.

Are there any New Zealanders that you've bumped into?

Do we come over here at all?

That's offensive.

So wait, so two weeks out from the Nationals, what are you doing?

Is the training, is there sort of something you do to get into the headspace on the day?
