The weirdest cubing related "flex" you have

Before I started at my current job, the staff were given promo cubes with a weird colour combo (light blue, dark blue, light purple, dark purple, yellow and green).

I began working here three weeks ago and they had these all on their desks randomly scrambled.

Of course, I went round the office and solved them all, much to their delight (not a single cuber there before me) 😆
 
I probably have the least mega:giga pr single ratio, around 1:5 or 1:6
I won my school competition which I organised (whoops)

(I genuinely won it but I’m viewed as the guy that made a comp for something he’s the best at so he could win it, but in fairness I didn’t really know any cubers, and the 2-5th place guys were only 3-4s off

I've got two.

I found a single "edge" flip parity algorithm by hand that was 6 quarter turns shorter (it's 19q) than what was believed to be optimal (by many),
4r' e R 4u' 4f' 2-3u' 4f 4u 4l' 4u 3u 4f' 2-3u' 4f 4u' U' 2-4r x' e' 4r
before I knew how the (old, 25q) "standard" algorithm worked! (Which, in time, I deduced is more simple to understand in at least two ways.)
4r2 B2 U2 2-3l U2 2-3r' U2 2-3r U2 F2 2-3r F2 2-3l' B2 4r2

I have written a lot of content on the math of the nxnxn Rubik's cube, but hardly any of it contains your typical "group theory jargon" (just plain English, and only high school level-looking mathematics).
 
I knew how to solve 5x5 for like 6 months before I learned how to solve 4x4
I figured out how to solve a 9x9 before I had ever solved a 6x6, 7x7, or 8x8 (which I still haven't solved - I just haven't bought them yet). Of course, if I know how to solve a 9x9, I, by de facto, know how to solve 6x6-8x8 cubes, or really any nxn cube...
