So I was just practicing 3x3 today and here were two solves:

24. (10.62) L D2 F2 L' B D' R U F D F2 U' R2 D' R2 F2 U2 F2 L2
25. 11.84 R2 F2 L2 D2 B2 U2 R D2 R' F2 B L' B' D' R' F D' L2 B2 U'

What happened was that after I did the first solve, I misscrambled the second to lead to the SAME positon
OR
I byhearted the previous scramble subconciously and implemented it subconciously

Has anybody had something like this, or anything weird or peculiar?
 
Whoa, that's really weird... I have a weird experience though. At my last competition, Manhasset Spring 2016, my first 3 skewb solves in finals were all famous times from some other event. First was a 5.55 (Mats Valk), then a 6.25 (Mitch Lane; I was already freaking out at this point, haha), then a 6.88 (Faz OH WR). It was pretty crazy. After that I got an 8.65 and a 5.36 though, so I didn't really complete the average with cool times.

EDIT: 8.65 was once Sq-1 WR single, but I can't find anything to make 5.36 famous. :O

I recognize Mats and Faz, but not the others. But that's pretty shweet.

This counts right...?

Yep, any weird thing does
that reminded me of when i was averaging 45 and was using 4LLL. I did two slots and landed up up w/ U perm from another angle and got a 23 :eek:
btw it was a handscramble
E: lol I did like 7 skewb solves on plus timer and on 3 solves I got setup pure pi after constructing rest of the layer lol

So on Friday, I was watching Keaton's livestream, and he asked Jesse if he thought it counts as a last layer skip if you do a sledgehammer to force an EO or OLL skip. The morning afterwards, I got that exact case.
 
Whenever I get a V perm, I have about a 1/5 chance to get a V perm each solve for the next hour.
I hate V perms.

This just started happening a month or so ago, and I realize probability can be screwy, but come on man...

sol is x' y F R U' R2 F R U

And then you get a cancellation into the lefty eg1 case

Here's where the weird part comes in

So 2 months ago at Ind Nats I got the exact SAME scramble at R1 solve 5.
Only the AUF was different.
There I took no risks and got 1.73

O_O
 
holy... it happened again

SAME round Ind Nats

U2 R U' R' U' F2 U2 F U2 R U2

My pyraminx average during this week's weekly comp.

I got 4.86 (Blake Thompson), 4.90, (etter, nahm), 4.73 (zemdegs), 4.76 (brads), and then I got a 4.89. WHAT?!?!

Also, my dad recently got floss - :( - and it said its 47.3 yards lol.

4.89 is Dan Cohen's PB official Pyraminx average :P
 
It was a fairly cold winter morning and I left the kitchen's window open while having breakfast as it helps me wake up. That is when I hear my Rubik's Cube say "would you please close the window? It's getting unbearably cold in here". I think it is a weird ocurrence that it asked in such a polite manner.
