Cubing FML

Today, having invested in two square-1's for my collection a standard and ball core a number of months ago I decided to learn to solve it. The slice was lovely on the ball core but the U/D faces had a lot of friction. I disassembled and lubed with shock oil and was working it in when a small edge popped, landed right next to our dog who immediately bit it almost in half, rendering the piece unusable. She is usually very well behaved only chewing on occasions our sons Lego and now presumably puzzle edge pieces!

So another Lightake order needed ... FML.

Ridiculous scramble, 1x2x2 block skip and F2L pair already solved, easy double X cross.
F2L was 3.713
PLL at 5.419
Last move at 7.921
Time: 9.903 :fp

Last move was a B. My solution to it was U U' U U' x' U

52 moves (QTM?) at 5.25 tps.

Solution:

Double X cross: z' x' R' F R L' U L R U R' D R U' R'
F2L 3: R' U' R
F2L 4: y2 U' R U R'
OLL: F' L' U' L U L' U' L U F
PLL: U2 x R2 D2 R U R' D2 R U' R U U' U U' x' U

41 moves HTM including cancellations *coughuuuucough*

FMC- F--- My Cube Thread

Today, I was timing some solves (I don't normally do that) and I was performing very well and I had an AMAZING solve that had almost no pauses. I look up to see the time and I read it out loud. "READY" :fp

Ughhhh. Half cube explosion on a 6x6 solve that would have been around 3:30 (way under my PB). A lot of the internals flew out and I can't find half the pieces. FMCL
 
I was timing myself one night going for sub 20 for the very first time ever on a 3x3 using a Dayan Lingyun. First solve is a 17. Second solve is a 20. Third solve is a 21. Fourth solve is a 18. All i needed was a sub 20 second solve. I scramble the cube. A half solved cross with an easily preservable f2l pair. I start the solve... put in the last cross piece with R' u, and three pieces shoot out. So much for sub 20.

-FML

Funniest moment with a cube?

One of my funniest moments was on a field trip to the house of blues. I popped my gh2 all over the next seat. But i got it back. My 2nd one was turning a 5x5 and the whole thing exploded. It was my friends 5x5. Just want to hear some funny stories.
 
I was solving my V-Cube 6 flag cube of the French flag. When I finally got it done, I was annoyed, because flag was no longer French but Dutch.
 
Being colourblind, i cant really complain about swapped centre pieces but i can say that at UKO i popped over half a dozen Zhanchis doing (L2 Lw'2 U2 L'2 Lw2 U2)
seeing as they are "unpoppable" this got quite annoying

but I ve also had quite a few Roux solves, that turn out being accidental Salvia / FFOP, and a 7x7 Ao5 that loked like this: pop, pop, pop, explosion, pop ... after this i just took my anger out on a 3x3 & got a 15.60 PB :)
