What is your most unexpected cubing achievement?

[kcl]

Probably my 8.90 official single. I had cold hands and was expecting a crappy 15ish average, and then I got a decent scramble and a PLL skip.

 

[whauk]

obviously my 21 FMC which is ER

 

[Phillip1847]

My 15.64 single. My previous single was about 18.5 or so, and it was fullstep.
I remember it vividly. The last F2L was L' U L U' L' U L. The OLL was no AUF F (2xsexy) F' and the PLL was an H perm with a U2 (x perm I guess).
I was averaging 26 or so I think.

First 4BLD success. I'd had a few "no idea what went wrong" attempts, and I messed something up on this one, but managed to fix it.

Yesterday I got an 11.83 fullstep 3x3 single. I could hardly believe it, since I average around 20 seconds

 

[BillyRain]

4/5BLD. Easily. Something I swore that I would NEVER be able to achieve.

 

[Cuber9991]

I got a 1 minute 30 second solve on 4x4 a while back when i was averaging about 2 min 20 sec.

 

[Bryandgg]

Probably my 3x3 PB which I broke around 3 days ago, completely unexpected, with a PLL skip, got a 9.34.
Also dropping from 2:30 min Avg in 4x4 to 1:30 - 1:40 Avg quite fast. Also a 1:08 single, sad I didn't stop the timer in this solve

 

[tx789]

At my second comp I wanted I sub 20 average. Quite hard for me back then I averaged 22 and somehow got sub 19.

 

[Ernie Pulchny]

At Starlight Open 2013, I got three PLL skips in a row, in the second round of 3x3.

[XTowncuber]

I have 2.

2.47 pyra single from forever ago (I averaged 5)
11.65+2 OH single at worlds (LL skip)


4.76 3x3 unofficial single is up there as well.

 

[RubiksJake12]

My unofficial single of 12.22 was my most unexpected achievement. I had just gotten a quick solve, no LL skip and was happy. Looked down at the app on my phone and it said 12.22 and I almost s*** a brick. I average just under 20 seconds lol.

 

[sneze2r]

Beating Maskow in 3BLD rank with 28.18 was compeletly unexpectable. Also on the same comp(Polish Nationals 2013) i did 20/20 multi, which was the best official non-dnf result+my pb.

 

[kcl]

Actually I'm going to say that for unofficial solves, my 8.43 PB from long ago is probably my most unexpected solve ever. It was fullstep, non lucky, and it just felt slow. I thought I had stopped the timer early until I found the solution XD

Ofher than that, my 6.92, simply because it was like 29 HTM..

 

[ottozing]

My first ever official skewb solve was a world record..... so yeah that lol

 

[ZamHalen]

My first sub-10 which I apparently got last week based on friends timing. Which we all know is slower than actual time usually.....lolwut

 

[kcl]

My first ever official skewb solve was a world record..... so yeah that lol

wat

I didn't realize it was first in the average :O

 

[piyushp761]

Probably, when I was averaging above 5 mins on 6x6 and out of no where I got a 4:13 single. That motivated me to turn fast and I got a 4:30 single in the next attempt

 

[plusCubed]

Getting a 3x3 12-second single when I averaged 19 surprised me.
For 4x4 I got a 1:05 single when two weeks before that I averaged 2:30.

 

[Bindedsa]

12.53 in Comp, when I averaged 18.5ish.
