Hello folks.
This is my first post here. So how about starting with giving intead of taking like a normal firstposter would do.

Worlds fastest official time ever caught on tape.

Worlds fastest official time ever caught on tape.

Um.... no.

 

[KConny]

Ohh, sorry. Do you have a link to Jacquinots 9.86 solve?

 

[Stefan]

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I read that as:
(Worlds fastest official time ever) caught on tape.

 

[KConny]

Dang, I was hoping I was wrong and you'd flash me a link of the video.

World's fastest official non lucky solve.

 

[Pedro]

he said he kinda worked for a OLL skip, inserting the last pair in a different way...and it worked

so for me it wasn't lucky...

is there any calculations of the odds of getting a OLL skip when you do edge-control?

 

[Erik]

It was something like 1/36 but I'm not totally sure

 

[DanHarris]

no, I think it would be 1/27 (1/(3^4/3)

4 corners, 3 possible orientations each, 4th orientation is fixed by t'other 3.

I would still call it a lucky solve, not only did he get the 1/27 chance of the corners skipped, but he had the case where you insert with R' F R F', and I doubt that he would have inserted it differently if he had any other edge orientation case (other than all edges oriented).

 

[joey]

The thing is, he went out of his way to do something different. To me that means that he "worked" for it, I say "worked" because he was hoping for a skip, and he got it. But the doing R' F R F', rather than U R U R', is worth calling it non-lucky.

 

[pjk]

He skipped orienting all corners. Is that not a step?

 

[Pedro]

orienting corners isn't really a step if you do OLL, PLL

(edit: yay! 100 posts! )

it's kinda easy to see if u get a skip or not if you cubed long enough. with i cube with one hand i see OLL skips more often, maybe it's cuz i tried seeing how the cube look like when i reverse edge-control.
