mDiPalma: 5 LL skips out of 50 solves? Chances are extremely low

Distribution X -> Bin(50, 1/15552),

Pr(X>=5) = 1 - 0.999999999999997 = 0.000000000000003 )

pd. OH Righties rules!

 

[mafergut]

Yes. Always have.

I was asking @TDM for advice on OH as I'm starting to get interested in it and trying to decide which hand to use. Having the usual discussion about direct reuse of algs for left hand or z' rotation for right hand, available resources, algorith translator to mirror, rotate algs, pros and cons of using left and right, etc. From the point of view that I already use my left a lot in 2H and use lefty versions of some algs frequently (As, my Ns are one the mirror of the other, also usually do mirror T-OLL and many other OLLs I use are simply mirrors of another case).

So, what's your view on this and why did you decide to go with the right (if I may ask, of course)?

I went with right because I wasn't aware that leftie OH was a thing. That was a long time ago.

I don't think this was unforced. Firstly, he uses ZZ/Petrus, which has solved edges, making any unforced LL skips eight times more likely. Second, he knows a lot about influencing LL during F2L. Looking at the numbers, it's likely he could have been forcing an EPLL for the LL every solve, which means getting 5 or more skips in 50 solves has a probability of 40.5%.

A couple days ago I got 4 PLL skips in 100 solves and I thought it was a lot!!!! I usually get between 0 and 3 PLL skips in an Ao100. OLL skips are even more rare (like 0 or 1, most of the time 0 on an Ao100). I don't influence LL in any way (I wish I was able to do that but I'm not yet there).

But 5 full LL skips in 50 solves????? I have never ever had one full LL skip and I probably have done more than 20 thousand speedsolves with CFOP in a year and a half of cubing.

The only full LL skip I had was back in the eighties when I was 12 years old and used beginner's method to solve my old Rubik's cube. I still remember it as it was a "record breaking time" of around 48 seconds. I was never able to get faster than 1 minute back then with beginner's method and my rubik's brand cube, except for that one LL skip.

I see some of you guys have 3, 4 or even a dozen LL skips but I either have no luck or you have speedsolved more than 200 thousand times

Yeah it was forced :tu ; I was trying something new (that's why the average was so bad). The actual odds were around 31.1%.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I knew you were much faster than that.

But what could 2/27 be...
