Cubing FML

[qqwref]

When I was finally good enough at OH in practice to try to get a sub-20 average in competition:

First three solves: 19.91 18.00 19.68 - alright, I can do this!
Last two solves: 21.31 23.58 - :fp (avg5 = 20.30)
(And there was only one round...)

Doesn't necessarily have to be an FML fail. Could just be funny.

 

[Cool Frog]

Fail 27.43 avg at newark comp today :fp

lol, 18.65 DNF first solve (Freaking failed opposite layers)
21.xx 2x2 solve.

 

[Ranzha]

Funniest solve ever, but horribly slow. xD
Nathaniel stopped caring after F2L. xD

 

[Vinny]

My first solve was about 26 seconds at the Newark Head to Head. I was so shaky haha. Then, I got a DNF because the timer didn't start. Then, another sup 26 solve. Then, I randomly got back on track, got an 18 second solve, then a 16 second solve, but it has a middle layer misalignment and was a DNF. I was so frustrated with the solves being over 21, let alone 26. But it doesn't matter, DNF average at my first comp, fantastic.

imagine if you out this type of stuff on F my life, something like Pyjam's post. Nobody would understand you at all. (I guess its kind of similar but not necessarily as epic)

I'm guessing you're not aware. Let me aware you.

I was solving 4x4x4, and my LL was only the pure OLL parity case. I don't the pure OP alg. <_<
So while performing the 'regular' parity, my Maru pops and I screw up the algorithm. <__<
I fixed it, and when I got back to my LL, it was f (R U R' U' x2) f' (PLL Skip).

FM>_<CL.

Today, on a single solve, I got an accidental X-Cross, solved 2 pairs at once by accident, and had the last pair just ready to insert. I had an 8 move OLL (sub-1 easily), and THOUGHT I had a T-Perm (it was really an A-Perm), so it was a 15.xx DNF, AND, on top of that, I was so angry that I just refreshed qqtimer and lost the scramble. FML.

Today, I learned a new algorithm for 2 look PLL and kept practicing it. But I realized, it was actually the same alg i learned a few weeks ago but with a x. fml

what's a hole cube?

void cube?

what's a hole cube?

I meant whole, with an "W"

Today, while on a class trip in Mexico, I let my friend use my lanlan 2x2. She played with it for a while, and apparently, popped the cube internally and thought that they could fix it by continuously and vigorously turning the cube. They somehow lost one of the inner edge pieces. They tried to make it up by giving me pesos. THey refused to order me a new one. FMCL.

...so buy a new one with the money they gave you? Why would you need them to order it for you?

 

[Tim Major]

Your fault for taking it. If someone breaks my cube, I'd be annoyed at them, but hold it in. My fault for taking a cube out near non-cuber friends, it's like that with any belonging, unless they intentionally break it.

Getting a good time... POP! FML :fp

 

[Georgeanderre]

being partially colour blind doesn't help me, but swapping to opposite crosspieces then getting to PLL and wondering why my case is impossible ...

 

[QCcuber4]

I memo the edges, memo the corners, don the blindfold, freeze... forgot my corners FML

OR

I memo edges, corners, don, start solving, get the last edges and realize I have parity, but forgot to memo wether the edges are oriented properly and don't have any corners to swap nor any other edge pair, because I simply memoed wrong and I was supposed to end in a 3 cycle, so now I have to go through my edge memo to find the remaining edge to cycle with my ''parity edges'' BUT WAIT!! to which does the buffer go? Ua or Ub perm? NOOOOOooooo DNFFMCL!!!

Got a new square one with a single sticker set, messed up colour scheme. And I was thinking "not too bad, I can live with it". Then I accidentally sticker the table. and when I peeled the sticker off, it looked terrible. Had to order new stickers. F my life. :fp

OLL done at 6.4ish. Around 2 seconds for recog on E perm, 3 for execution. I hate E perm. FML

not as bad as me, i cant sub 1 any pll at all but ive only been cubing for a couple months

also can u reply to my comments on ur example sovles vids
