4th LL skip, but 1st time this happens to me in a OH solve!! Anyway, it's not even PB (my PB is 23.xy)... xD

Time: 24.607

Luckily I reconstructed it:

Scramble: R B2 L' D' L' D' B2 D R2 U R' U2 L F' B L R' F' R F' B' L2 B2 U2 B2

y2 R U' F' x2 F R' F' //Cross
U2 y' R2 U' R' U R2 //Pair
y2 R2 U2 R' U' R U' R2 //Pair
y' U2 R U L U L' U R' //Pair
U' R U2 R2 F R F' //Pair
U2 //LL

It was weird. This is the 2nd LL skip of the year. wtff

This is my first. But I will learn all 7 subsets cause I'm crazy!

I wish you the best of luck. You have much more patience than I have. After learning VHLS, I started learning some common ZBLS cases. I think I'll just go through and learn as much ZBLS as I can. It's not very widely used, and I've always had a pull to learn alg sets that not many people use (I considered MGLS at one point). Probably a waste of time, but oh well.

My girlfriend and the cube.

I taught her Petrus as first method. She learnt it very quickly. Not really surprising for me, since she is very smart.
After a couple of weeks I asked if she likes cubing; she said she does enjoy solving the cube, but she is not interested in speedsolving.
Yesterday I taught her commutators, which means I explained the basic theory (optional setup, insert, interchange) and showed her exactly 3 examples (two corner commutators and one edge case). The whole "lesson" lasted about 10 minutes. About one hour later she says "I didt it!". She solved the whole cube using only commutators (I think I told her about corner-edge parity at some point, I don't remember when exactly).
Today she solved a 4x4 from scratch in like 30 minutes (she didn't get any kind of parity). She knew the concept of reduction, so she applied that using lots of commutators. Later I told her about wing-center parity and how to fix it (inner layer quarter turn like r) and some other hard cases you face using reduction (like PLL and centers "parity"), so she can now solve a 4x4 no matter what.
She says she could do that because I'm a good teacher, but I think that no matter how good the tacher is, you need one hell of a brain to learn that fast.
I am so proud of her :)

Lol my friend you and I are THE original madmen. (possibly including Chris Tran for his motivational speeches :P)
Also I know you are learning other non-ZBLL 1LLL cases. But the probabilities of these cases are even lower than ZBLL. surely there comes a point where the sheer probability of every case means there is no point learning them?

Never, learning an alg is easy. Recog and speed of a case is the only determining factor of whether a case is worth learning IMO.
 
6.99 LL Skip!

I was just breaking in a new cube and ending up getting my first last layer skip in years. It is funny how a horrible solution ended up resulting in a LL skip! If I had been looking ahead better I could've gotten a better time. :eek:
Scramble - R F' L2 U B2 U' L' B2 L2 D' F' U' R2 F2 U R2 U B2 U' B2 U

Solution -
Cross - z2 D U L2 R
Pair 1 - U2 y' R' U' R U2 R' U R
Pair 2- U2 y L U L' U y' L' U' L
Pair 3 - y' U2 L' U' L U2 L' U L
Pair 4 - U2 R' U' R U:eek:

Cute. ;) She's a keeper, haha. I also have a smart ex-girlfriend who somehow found an OLL parity alg from scratch, and solved a 7x7 with very little help. I'm blown away by what she can figure out herself.
