Do you get PLL skips too often?

[DAE_JA_VOO]

I hardly ever get any skips. If i get 2 PLL skips a month it's a lot

 

[cookingfat]

I hardly get any either. I got 2 last night though, lol.

^^ I'm the same >.< not one LL skip and I've almost been cubing for 10 months now >.>

EDIT: I take that back I got an LL skip on 4x4x4 with OLL and PLL parity O.o

I haven't gotten a LL skip for 11 months but I got one on 4x4 with OP parity...

Also, I get about 5 PLL skips every H-perm...

I've gotten LL skip twice with double parity on 4x4. I haven't even solved it 100 times yet!

If you don't just blindly apply the parities, chances of LL skip on a 4x4 are greater than the same thing on a 3x3. And if you know 3 or 4 parity algorithms, they are even greater.

I had three OLL skips in 13 solves yesterday. Altough some were forced.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

You guys are all lame. I've never had an LL skip.

 

[nitrocan]

You guys are all lame. I've never had an LL skip.

Neither did I.

Lets say you need to solve approximately 15000 cubes to get a LL skip (hopefully)

I've been cubing for about 6 months = 180 days. That means I need to have solved 15000/180 = 83.333 cubes a day. I don't think I've solved that many yet

I've been cubing for about three years ~= 1100 days.

15000/1100 = 13.6 cubes a day. I'm pretty sure I've done more.

 

[Lofty]

I must be getting all the skips you guys don't get
I do big averages of over 100 and in there I always get a couple PLL skips like 2 or 3 and every once in awhile a OLL skip.
My last comp average i got 2 OLL skips and a PLL skip! out of 5 solves lol. One skip was forced. Plus my pb of 16.90 at nats which was an OLL skip.
It may have something to do with heavy edge control and COLL tho I have been cubing less then 2 years and have had many many LL skips. like 5-10 none of them timed... again attributed to the heavy edge control. cause if you get your edges oriented you can sometimes force corners too.

 

[d4m4s74]

I NEVER had a pll skip in my life, I'm already happy if I can skip the second look for my oll

I don't quite understand... Explain please?

There are 3 well known parity algorithms (at least to me ):
"OLL Parity" - flips one edge
"PLL Parity" - exchanges UF and UB edges
"Double Parity" - exchanges UF and UB, also flipping the edge that was at UF

It's like forcing an OLL skip (if I understood the concept of forcing). If your corners are already solved after OLL, there's a good chance you can solve the edges too only with parities, which also increases the overall chances of whole LL skip.

Back to 3x3.

I had 3 LL skips in last 4 months, all unforced.

Chances for LL skip should be 1 / 15 552.
Chances for forced LL skip should be 1 / 3 888 (4 times greater).

Cross skips have stuff to do with the scramble

So do 4 move x-crosses. I got a 4 move 3x-cross followed by a 4 move 2x-cross in a physics lesson the other day. My OH hand scrambling technique must be a little flawed. (I swear they weren't 2-gen!)

 

[Gomorrite]

I just did 3 PLL skips in a row! Chances are 1/373248 I think.

Did anyone accomplish this? ^^

 

[Kirjava]

I get a last layer skip every 8 or so solves.

You've also bumped 1,5 years old topic, unfortunately, quite a few people have also "accomplished" this.

i only get them on one hand. THats why im not terrible

I know this is way old bump but... I just got 4 PLL skips in a row...

Dang! Can that really be a 1/26,873856 odds?
