Cubing FML

[TheZenith27]

Today, I got a 49.37 4x4 single. I found out my PB is 49.31. FML

 

[insane569]

In school and a girl takes my zhanchi. I still don't have it back.
But I get to focus on 4x4. WIN/FAIL.

 

[dr01d3k4]

Most of my cubing fails are due to pops, such as:
1) Solving 3x3 (Zhanchi) in front of the head of year and *pop*.
2) Walking down stairs, solving 3x3 (Black Mefferts Pillow) and *pop*.
3) Today, randomly started scrambling my Ghosthand II 4x4 and *pop* - normally this cube never pops (only 2 times prior in 1.5 months) and it's only the top layer that pops - this time, the whole cube fell apart D:

Not exactly a fail but can be annoying:
On my 4x4, I haven't glued the caps to corners on yet so sometimes whilst I'm speed solving, a cap flies off and hits me in the face, normally causing viewers to laugh (especially when it lands in a recycling bin...)

The amount of times I have just set up the 3rd F2l pair , when all of a sudden I spot the 4th pair has just mated up. Instead of slam dunking the 3rd pair in and double dropping the 4th pair in like a pro, I panic, stop mid way through the 3rd pair to completely stop what I was doing to insert the 4th pair, loose track of orientation, Y3, Y', inserts the '4th' pair and completely loose track of where the 3rd pair has now gone. FML.

only thing left to do is wooooo saaaaaah

In the middle of a great session today, I had a triple X-cross planned out in inspection (very good for me), did the last pair while setting up CO. Led to a fat sune PLL skip. I go to stop the timer and it never even started...FMCL

A while ago I was in math class playing with my Maru 5x5 it got this weird lockup/pop where the center corners twist when tried to fix it I broke the part now no 5x5 to use at the moment can someone help me

 

[juggling monkey]

nope fyl

I'm selling a Ghosthand for $10. Pm if interested.

Cubing in my AP Computer Science class after a test with my Zhan Chi. Right as the bell rings it pops while I am doing my PLL and literally explodes in my hands forcing me to shove the pieces in my pockets so I can make it to my next class..... FML

Damnit.

Today, I brought my Pyraminx to school for the first time.

NEVER AGAIN.

"OMG dude, you're like obsessed with Rubik's!"
"Just when I thought I've seen it all, Jack pulls out a Rubik's Triangle"
"That Rubik's Pyramid is so awesome!!"
"Is that a triangular cube?"
*insert at least 20 more comments about Rubik's and being stupid with the shape (triangular cube)*

I was thinking of taking my pyra in to school tommorrow. Thanks for the warning

 

[Jaycee]

Yes yes. Even when you tell them it's not associated with Rubik's they still never shut up. ಠ_ಠ

I don't get why people suddenly forget the names of all shapes when they see some sort of puzzle. If they were doing geometry, they wouldn't say "the area of a circle shaped triangle is \( \pi r^{2} \)".

 

[Jaycee]

Barely practiced anything at all for the past 4 or 5 days. Now I am. I got loads better at 5x5 and Pyraminx, but I suck at everything else now. FML.

 

[MalusDB]

I got an OLL skip and the timer was at 22 seconds. Then I messed up the easy J (a) perm. And my PB is 25.91.

ARE YOU ME?! Except. Mines was like 17 secs and managed to pop my cube. I can sub 1.5 J perm easy, its my favourite. RAGE.

me and my friend (beginner cuber) now officially have an inside joke about this. everytime she brings her pyraminx to school (we do it in the lunch time and during brunch and lunch) we count how many people say "triangle shaped rubik's cube!", "rubik's triangle," etc. On the 3rd day we got something like 27 people. Fail. people fail. So far, two people have said "pyramid shaped rubik's cube." still not a cube though.

averaged 1:00 - 1:05 on 4x4, stops practicing for a week, gets a 1:10 ao12.
