I think L8E skip is be 1/(15*13*11*9*7*5*3) = 1/2027025. So about half as likely as a pyraminx scramble that only affects the tips. Obviously preserving some edges would increase this a lot.

Some people would write that probability as 1/(15!!)

I solved a 3x3 in 58 seconds.
(I've only been cubing for 5 weeks, though.)
Onwards and upwards!

2x2 Average of 12 3.78 with a 3.41 Average of 5, Before this I didn't have a sub 5

Edit: 4.90 2x2 mean of 100. Again Before this I didn't have a sub 5 average of 12.

AUFless LL skip on 4x4. It was an easy wv but didn't realize the pll skip. Was still kinda slow 1:11.xx which was fastest of the average.

So you solved 4 noncross edges during centres/last cross edge yet consider it an l8e skip? I think an l8e skip is perfectably legitimate, I've had 5 of the last 3 edges skip once, and you do significantly more 4x4 than me, so I had little doubt you had an l8e skip.

But if you forced 4 edges, presumably 3-4+moves per edge, I'm surprised you got a 21 o_O. Doing normal 323 pairing, each edge averages out to be 3-4 moves, so it sounds like only a slightly lucky solve. Slightly lucky 21... gj I guess?

Preserving 2 of them just took an R2, and I just did a different solution to my lady cross edge (that is the same number of moves). IMO skipping 4 edges ang having super ultra easy cases for the rest is pretty lucky.

54.5 mm weilong is really really good. Like weilong minus the annoyingness.

O.o I always wandered what EG stood for...

[XTowncuber]

had the 54.5mm weilong for like 3 hours now and this:

6.85, 8.40, 6.79, 8.59, 7.93, (10.81), 7.53, 8.90, 8.68, (6.71), 7.36, 7.36=7.84

yeah....it's really good.

Preserving 2 of them just took an R2, and I just did a different solution to my lady cross edge (that is the same number of moves). IMO skipping 4 edges ang having super ultra easy cases for the rest is pretty lucky.

R2 would just swap the 2 edge's places doing nothing. Anyway I still have no reason not to believe, as an L8E skip seems highly reasonable. I wonder if Sebastien or Feliks or Mats have had one.

Just found it stupid that you said 8 edges skipped, but then said you forced 4 of them.

*Sebastian
It wouldn't swap adjacent edges?
