∞ signs that you've been cubing for too long

591. You actually still read each post
592. This is the only thread that has more than two pages which you've read all of
593. You actually like the idea of this thread
594. You know the cubing community well enough to expect we actually get 1000
595. You get worried when this thread is not top of gsd
595. Because you don't want this to get harder to find

597: when you make an illusion gans air.
598: when you try magnets in a dayan taiyan.
599: when you do averages of 100 regularly.
600: when you wait on this thread to snipe 600.
 
601. when you do an ao12 on 4x4x4 and get 3 PLL skips except you get the annoying PLL parity on it each time (the adjacent kind)
602. when you notice that the post above happened to you
603. when you buy a gas air because it is the most expensive of the popular cubes
604. when someone tells you that the valk is better so you buy a valk
605. when you are the person who told him the valk is better.
606. when you want to snipe no.624
607. when you ask people to guess what for
 
How is it a PLL SKIP if you got PLL parity?
608. when you ask the question above about a previous post
609. when you reply to that question;
610. when you say that PLL parity would be a PLL skip on a 3x3x3 therefore it could be considered a PLL skip with PLL parity
611. when you think you know that the odds of getting this in an ao12 on 4x4x4 are: 1 in 72( correct me if I'm wrong)
612. when you decide to put the maths for this on here:
chances of PLL skip: 1 in 72
chances of PLL parity: 1 in 2
chances of the adjacent PLL parity: 1 in 4
72x4= 288
however in an average of 12 with three solves getting that it puts the chances at 1 in 72
613. when you do the working out when the end of line1 of the working out is the same as the end of line5 of it
614. 01:17.76 is your 4x4x4 truncated average for that exact AO12
615. when you have to use fancy terminology like truncated
616. you get really annoyed when people call it a rubiks cube(surprised this has not come up yet)
617. when you don't tell them its not any more because you are so bored of it (Mats Valk)
618. when you write long posts on this thread with 11 signs
 
okay, here we go:
you're looking for the chance of an adjacent swap PLL parity happening at least 3 times in a 4x4 average of 12.

There are four ways for this to happen, out of a total of 144 PLL cases (we have to count asymmetrical ones like G-perm 4 times, ones with two symmetries like E-perm twice, and ones with 4 symmetries like H-perm once).
Therefore, the chance of this happening on one specific solve is 4/144=1/36.

the chance of an event occurring at least 3 times is equal to the chance it occurs exactly 3 times plus the chance it occurs exactly 4 times, etc. up to the chance it occurs every time.

For each of those, we use the formula
(n choose k) (p^k) (1-p)^(n-k)
for n=12, p=1/36, k from 3 to 12 inclusive

(12 choose k) (1/36^k) (35/36)^(12-k)

and use wolfram alpha!

Your probability is:
18506816456382521/4738381338321616896
or about 0.39%
or eighteen quadrillion, five hundred six trillion, eight hundred sixteen billion, four hundred fifty-six million, three hundred eighty-two thousand, five hundred twenty-one-four quintillion, seven hundred thirty-eight quadrillion, three hundred eighty-one trillion, three hundred thirty-eight billion, three hundred twenty-one million, six hundred sixteen thousand, eight hundred ninety-sixths.

However, if you mean EXACTLY 3 times, then you get a different result:
4334860126953125/1184595334580404224
or about 0.37%

619: You waste 10 minutes of your day solving a pointless cube-related math problem.

620. Everybody you know knows you're a cuber.
621. The first thing you tell anyone about yourself is that you're a cuber.
622. People bring scrambled cubes to you so they can be solved.
623. You're hoping to get into college solely on the fact that you're a speedcuber.

624. Your PB is sub-Mitch... on 4x4.

625. You smile to yourself whenever you see certain numbers in your day-to-day life.
 
628.You're so excited that you fail to see that I skipped 627.
627.This time you caught my mistake of writing(typing) 629 as 627.
629.You think 627 and 628 have no connection to cubing.
630.You get annoyed by me.


Ok now time for 'realistic' posts.
631.Your main cubes have more scratches on their pieces than there are on your car's tyres.
632.You have ever attempted to solve a 17x17.
 
635. Really
seriously, come tf on.

636. You don't get nervous at comps
637. You podium in an event without practicing
638. When you get a counting 4
639. When you were in the 1982 Worlds and are still competing
640. When you plan out your entire F2L during inspection

642. and when you can do it in under 2 seconds
643. When you speedsolve 9x9
644. When you've competed in magic or master magic
645. When you remember cubing before Feliks
