Kennan but I believe you too... I guess...

Probably me, there's not really reason to doubt you, you're fast at 4x4..

[Noahaha]

By my calculations, L8E skip is 1 in 40,320.

So it's not THAT much less likely than a LL skip, especially if he was intentionally preserving edges while finishing the centers/cross.

 

[vcuber13]

Assuming you are correct, that's nearly thrice as unlikely as an LL skip.

So considering Jacob preserved some edges...

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.

Shouldn't it be more likely than that due to the fact that it doesn't matter where each of the 8 edges is? (Maybe multiply by 8! ?)

EDIT: Something is telling me it isn't that simple, but I can't think right now

No he should be right, there are 16 wings, the first doesn't matter, the second has a 1/15 chance of being the matching wing, etc.
But assuming he didn't have parity it should also be divided by 4, right?

I thought I was the only one using that alg

I use it too.

There were already 1 or two solved that I saw in centers, plus I did last cross edge differently to get 2 more...

Still, wow.

Edit: Wow, I just got 2 solves in with sub-10 cross+centers.

 

[cuboy63]

wow so cool

6.21 with F U' R2 D R' U2 R D' R2 U F' as LL

Whoops lol

Got a couple 5x5 PB's today

Hopefully I can get sub 2 soon

Just got a new pb single, 19.27 on 3x3

 

[Tim Major]

PB ao50, no time for 44 more solves, might do it later, considering a bad average of 50+this one would be pb ao100

number of times: 58/58
best time: 1.94
worst time: 6.53


best avg5: 2.99 (σ = 0.27)

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?
