Do you get PLL skips too often?

[kunparekh18]

I sometimes force PLL skip by applying COLL and a few OLLCPs I know here and there so that way I've had 3 skips in a row.

As for LL skips, I've had them just twice, once when the F2L was crappy and once when I was doing untimed solves.

Dang! Can that really be a 1/26,873856 odds?

The unfortunate thing is I was cubing under bad lighting conditions so no new PB Ao5.

therece a video somewaer of someone getting 5 pll skips in a row

I rarely get PLL skips, at least once a month or even two months i get a PLL skip.

 

[Noahaha]

You can never PLL skip too much.

That's crazy. I've only gotten 2 PLL skips on timed solves I think.

 

[cityzach]

I usually get 1-2 PLL skips every 50 solves.

I don't get PLL skips too often while speedsolving, but when I am just solving for fun solving pieces in random orders, I seem to get things like it all the time. I often just space out and stare at the cube for a few minutes. When I remember that I was in the middle of solving it and decide to finish it, I end up solving the last 6-9 pieces in about 15 moves without while focusing on just a couple pieces. I know it sounds crazy, but could your subconscious actually solve the cube?

I've had 3 Last Slot + LL skips that way btw.

I think a lot of people are saying things like "Wow I just got 2 PLL skips in a row what are the chances? (1/72)^2= 1/5184". But you have to consider that there are many cubers in the world, practising at home, doing many solves. The calculation I did for the two PLL skips was based on two chosen solves out of the millions (?) of solves which have been done before. I think it's definitely more than likely that someone in the world must have gotten at least 2 or 3 or so PLL skips in a row for example.

Here are some more cases of getting lucky solves. I even mention that I once had 2 PLL skips in a row on megaminx. And you may argue that the chances are (1/720)^2 = 1/518400. But again I've done many megaminx solves before, and so have many other minxers around the world. It just so happens that it was me who received two PLL skips in a row I guess.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough

 

[Rubiks560]

Pretty sure I've had 3-4 PLL skips in a row before.

 

[kcl]

I've had 4. Unfortunately all the solves were done with really cold hands so the times were barely even sub 15.

April 1st? Really? Doesn't make it a bit suspicious?

Well there's enough pausing for it to be real.. But the solving is just plain robotic..

 

[Rubiksfreak]

I get them often, 1 everyday atleast.

 

[Lchu613]

There is no such thing as too many PLL skips.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

There is no such thing as too many PLL skips.

Amen.

But on the topic, I haven't been having many pll skips recently. Except on 2x2 lol.

 

[Ollie]

I got 2 PLL skips from 72 solves. This is far too often.

 

[rj]

No such thing as too many PLL skips. I get runs of 3, then no more for a while.

 

[sneaklyfox]

Should have a running count/competition... see who will have the longest streak of no PLL skips.
