I Became A Sub 10 Cuber (Not Really Tho)

Huh, im sorryy. But my brain doesnt understand
Here are the times needed for each step for a sub 10:

Cross: 1
F2L: 5
OLL: 1.75
PLL: 2


If you can consistently output that, then you are considered a sub 10 solver.


Now, in a competition where you solved your last F2L pair as well as OLL and PLL, you averaged 8.5.


However, in order for you to get a sub 10, you need to average this for last slot + last layer.

(F2L time * 0.25) + OLL time + PLL time = 5 seconds




In other words: You need to shave off 3.5 seconds off your last layer for a sub 10, assuming everything else is sub 10. That means you need a PLL or an OLL skip and be at a better than sub 10 pace for the ENTIRE rest of the solve for a sub 10 solve.

And for an average that is sub 10, you need that four times.

In that comp i got an aberage last layer in ny sub 10 pb average i got u perms and easy f2l
 
That means you need a PLL or an OLL skip and be at a better than sub 10 pace for the ENTIRE rest of the solve for a sub 10 solve.
Adding on to this post, here is the math behind the odds of that occurring:

1/216 (odds of OLL skip) + 1/72 (odds of PLL skip) + 1/15552 (odds of LL skip) = About a 1/54 chance of getting a skip


Using a binomial distribution calculator, the odds of getting a skip more than 3 times over the course of 5 solves is a one in 57 million chance.

Yes, a one in 57 million chance.

Oh and did I mention that you also have to be around sub 10 pace for the entire rest of the 4 solves?

I got a 11 and then 10 then a low 9 then an 8 then a high 9 good enought?

That could be possible too.

Also you could (most likely would) make up for times in other areas if you actually got a sub 10 average

Are you sure you did your math right? Because I got 1 in 167K(still very low)
Ther is a big difference betwren an u perm anf a f perm
That's true, but I don't think that difference would be more than 3 seconds.
