OH LL skip, with a corner twist. Which I had to fix OH, which added a lot onto my time. At least I knew it was coming as I knew I did it earlier in the solve. First time having a corner twist when solving with my FangShi; all other times have been when scrambling.

Got a huge pop with my main yesterday, now can't find an edge piece. It's somewhere in my room, but having turned the room upside down I can't find the bastard anywhere. **** seems to have disappeared off the face of the ****ing earth.

Could've got a 21.65 OH single (PB), but I got a lockup doing the last turn and got a +2 
I get so many LL skips, but none of them are decent times; all my good times are full step.

Exams week:
I have a borderline A in English (like 89.80 borderline). Took the final. It was ridiculous. First part I got a 80/100. The other two I have to do amazing (so basically max score on each). I feel my cubing time will suffer.

I remember getting 67% in an English exam and people thinking that was amazing! What's the 'max' score possible in this exam?

Taking a cube to the movies so you can cube while you wait. Have it pop explode just a second before the lights dim out and the movie starts.

Lol. The max possible is 97/100. I have to get that.

Gl then! How come it's not possible to get 100%?

Apparently there is. There are 5 steps A, B, C, D, and F. A is 47/50 but apparently it depends how good the A is. But my teacher is really tough grader.

What happened to step E?! This marking scheme is hella confusing!!!
What kind of English is it? Literature or linguistics? I may be able to help, I'm pretty useful at English.

Don't worry about it. It is literature. I don't know why I said step. I meant you either get an A,B,C,D, or F. That's very normal. It is weird though.

Well if you ever need a hand, the offer's open.
Btw, the 67% was at Oxford uni, and it was the top result in my year. You think your grading system is weird - they have a 0-100% scale where it's practically impossible to get over 60!

What?? The ABCDF grading system is standard now.. 60% is a horrible grade with that grading system :O however you said it's different so I'll trust you on that.

May be standard in your country... ;-)
Yeah out of more than a thousand people sitting 8 papers, 67 was the top mark. While theoretically it is possible to get 100%, in reality it just isn't. Easier to consider it a 0-70 scale, I guess. Arts subjects are funny like that, but the Oxford marking system probably hasn't changed in 800 years!

Wow. I had literally no idea. In the US it's percentage based. 100-93 is A, 93-90 is A-, 83-87 is a B, etc.

So I'm guessing 67% wouldn't be a great result?
I think the UK school system is similar, although it's well over a decade since I left school. Public exams are A*, A, B, C, D, E, U, where U is unclassified/fail I think.
The system in Oxford is a bit... 'different': you fail finals if you turn up with socks that aren't black, and arts subjects are marked on an arbitrary 'percentage' scale that isn't really a percentage. But you get to sit exams in 'sub fusc' - a white-tie suit with tailcoat and mortarboard, if that's what floats your boat?!
