The Lucky or Unlucky Records Thread

[sneaklyfox]

Hey all, I've wanted to post this for some time. It's the lucky or unlucky records thread. Have you ever had a long run of PLL skips? How about 4 N-perms in a row? The exact same time three times in a row?

This is generally not for single scrambles and solves but for a streak of luck or unluck. I have posted some examples below. I will update this thread with new records as they come, maybe top 3 of each category or something like that depending on entries. Feel free to suggest or post new categories. You should specify which category/puzzle you are entering.

[SirWaffle]

Amount of LL skips in x amount of time should be a record. I have had 3 LL skips in one week.

 

[TDM]

I prefer U perms to J perms. EDIT2: OP has changed, comment is now meaningless.
I had no OLL skips for the first 7-8 months of cubing. I estimated something like 10,000 solves at the time, which was about right. I then got 4 unforced OLL skips in one Ao5.

EDIT: also optimal V perms are awesome

EDIT2: I once had over half my solves in one Ao30 for a forum race as EPLLs, and another time I had at least 20 R perms in the same ao50. Longest streak was probably 7-8.

 

[sneaklyfox]

You skipped OLL AND PLL??!?

 

[DuffyEdge]

I had 8 J(a) perms in a row in an OH session once

I cant tell if you're being sarcastic or not.... But yes LL skip Means you skip OLL and PLL

I'm not being sarcastic. I'm simply incredulous. That is amazing. Some people never get LL skip in their lifetime. I think I've gotten 2 or 3 in my life.

True idk how many I have gotten total but 2 of the 3 I got in one week are on cam.

edit: solve are in this thread f you care

Not sure how to put these in the records. Maybe I need to have a "Most # of X within 100 solves?"

I've never got one yet. I probably do 100-150 solves a day on school days, and more on weekends.
My cubes hate me.

It's kinda difficult to have them as records as I can't remember anything exactly. Also, imo, you don't need to just keep adding categories for everyone.

 

[PeelingStickers]

I had 3 N-perms in a row once (the same one too)

I had 3 v perms in a row on the bus today

Ok, then I'll just add them if I think it makes sense and if it's a concrete number or strict record or something.

Longest streak of no 4x4 parity, 5.
That went to 7 with no OLL parity.
My 1st 7 solves on my WeiSu.

aronpm wins longest 4x4x4 no parity streak due to tracing method usage

 

[Owen]

I'm reminded of this video of someone getting 5 pll skips in a row: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vILSc4PMW9Y
It might be a joke though.

Within 15 seconds of inspection?

 

[uyneb2000]

Most pops in row?

 

[kcl]

I had like 23 4x4 solves in a row with parity.. It was ridiculous.

 

[Kirjava]

Within 15 seconds of inspection?

yep

 

[~Adam~]

yep

Awesome sauce.
