I got my first LL skip!!

The only problem that it was while I was doing metronome cubing practicing F2L lookahead and the cube was just solved...

Now I've gotta wait until I've done another 15,552 solves until I get another one and hope that one might be timed!!

Hmmm... I thought it was much lower chances.

 

[dunpeal2064]

that looks right to me. it said the chances in the book "speedsolving the cube" and it was about 15k.

I thought it was funny cuz the book says to never give up, even if f2l is going bad, because you might get a ll skip. And then I watched Erik's spoof video and that happened to him xD

72 for PLL skip, 216 for OLL skip

72 * 216 = 15,552

that looks right to me. it said the chances in the book "speedsolving the cube" and it was about 15k.

Yeh he'd faked that though... Still funny

AND 90% of his F2L moves were R moves.

Wait, what?

1/72 * 1/216 = 1/15552

lol, I was thinking way higher. :fp to me.

 

[Toad]

Also to add to the 15,552 thing...

Breandan has had 16 LL skips in his cubing career which works out at him having done nearly a quarter of a million solves!!

That's a lot of cubing

 

[SimonWestlund]

Megaminx average 10(12): 1:06.60

I also had two 57.xx solves today

 

[Tim Major]

I've had 3, but 2 doing Petrus, and plus I've had 2 fmc ll skips, though completely forced.

Edit: ^^^ wow, 2 sub 1s in a day.

I learned how to solve a megaminx!

very nice! did you do it intuitively?

All but the last layer were done intuitively. I don't use beginners anymore so I forgot the algs.

that is how i did it as well... i had a problem inserting one of the end f2l pairs without messing up the other ones, but I figuired it out. It is very fun attempting a new puzzle.

also very good f2l practice

26.98 2 square-1 relay; one had parity. Splits of about 15-12. I only own two square-1s

 

[CitricAcid]

New 3x3 PB! 26.72!!!! WOOOT!!!!

New 3x3x3 PB. 16.16 seconds.

Epic, epic solve. NL, just easy cases.
