LL Skip

I've had 3 or 4 I think.

Only 1 of them was timed, though.
Back then I wasn't really fast, just a little under 15 seconds on average.
It happened when I wanted to insert my last F2L pair using partial edge control. Suddenly the cube was done with no AUF :) I reacted fairly fast which resulted in a 9.14. That was okay for me at the time, considering the LL skip.

2 or 3 LL skips were just when playing around with my cube elsewhere.
 
I've had one. I very nearly had a heart attack!

I had a tricky last F2L pair case and used an alg to sort it out, just as I was finishing off the alg (which by that time was intuitive so in my head I was more "putting everything back together") the entire cube just jumped into a solved state, no AUF or anything! :eek: I didn't know what to do with myself.

(Unfortunately, I was just solving it causally and didn't time it. :rolleyes:)
 
I've had one and I was timing, but I just wasted 5 seconds staring at the cube because I couldn't believe it.
 
I've had lots of them :p
With CF, the LL being the middle layer, LL skips are much more common (1/96 instead of 1/15552).
 
My only LL skip so far. My cross + f2l times are usually above the time i got on that solve (11.648), so i'm very happy with it :)

Scramble:

L U B' U' D' F' L' B F' D' B' D2 R' U' F L' R2 U' R' D' L2 R D L2 D2


My solution:

cross: X2 Y' B' F R D2 R' D'

1 pair: R' U R

2 pair: L' U L

3 pair: y' U' L' U L Y' U2 L U L'

4 pair: R U R' U R U R

Auf: U'

At first i thought it was a PLL skip, but when i reconstructed the solve i saw it was a LL skip :)


*EDIT:

I have had one more LL skip. This time i solved the cube after handscrambling it because i was working lubrication around in it. I timed it :)

Result: 14.xx :( Lousy :/

I've had more than 2, but less than 5. One of them was a timed solve, back when I was still 35~ seconds average, so I got like a 22.70 it was my PB for quite awhile, just after learning intuitive F2L. I don't recall any others being timed, but it always seems to happen when i'm not timing myself and somebody is watching me, I always look like I just dropped something in my pants and they're like "...why are you like that? you did it..." but they just don't understand :P
 
I've had only one. Hand scrambled by a friend I was racing at a competition a few months ago.
 
I learnt to solve a cube in 2003/2004, still never had an LL skip.

EDIT: WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!? JUST GOT MY FIRST EVER LL SKIP ON THE FIRST SCRAMBLE OF THE RACE TO SUB 15!!! AAAAAAA!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! :)

I use CF and get them a lot.

I also got a corners skip once, but I assumed It was a bad scramble.
