LL Skip

[ben1996123]

I use CF and get them a lot.

I also got a corners skip once, but I assumed It was a bad scramble.

I want that on an official 2x2 solve

I think the chance of a LL skip in Roux is like 1/24. So pretty often ^_^.

 

[Carrot]

I learnt to solve a cube in 2003/2004, still never had an LL skip.

EDIT: WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!? JUST GOT MY FIRST EVER LL SKIP ON THE FIRST SCRAMBLE OF THE RACE TO SUB 15!!! AAAAAAA!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

I think that's called a Ben...

 

[Shortey]

I've had three. Two of them where untimed. The third was when trying to become CN. 12.xx solve. xD

 

[AvGalen]

I've had a few. a 6.69 at home, and a 10.12 in competition, as well as a few others.

You got one in an official competition

I've had 84 PLL skips, and 32 OLL skips since November, when I seriously started cubing, so I've done exactly 12,960 solves. And since the chances of getting an LL skip is 1/15,552, I can completely, without a doubt, expect to get one in exactly 2,592 solves. Go math!

Isn't it 1/162? I've had a LL skip every once in a while.

Yeah, that's correct. LL skip = OLL skip * PLL skip = 1/27 * 1/6 = 1/162.

Edit:
21:11:46 < Kirjava> I'm talking about
21:11:55 < Kirjava> M being the last layer
21:11:58 < jlaire> oooo
21:12:01 < Kirjava> yes
21:12:06 < Kirjava> so 1/6? O_O
21:12:22 < jlaire> 1/12 I think
21:12:37 < Kirjava> Ooh
21:12:43 < Kirjava> 4!/2 ?
21:12:44 < jlaire> you have two U2M2U2 cases, one E2ME2, 4 cycles in both directions, and solved case
21:12:48 < jlaire> that works, too

 

[miniGOINGS]

Once you get to the last layer in Roux, the orientation is already 'correct' though.

I'm talking about the last four edges, btw.

How could I be so stupid... The M-slice is a layer...

 

[Brunito]

I've haad only one LL skip when I had 40sec avg and it was 20.27 xD

 

[whauk]

my old OH PB had LL skip. it was 9.80 now its 9.70 with a boring PLL skip.
in general i had 3. the other 2 were untimed and when i was not sub30.
and when i remember correctly i had a 4x4 solve where the whole LL was only PLL parity. but thats not a real skip (and it was in my very first sub-1 average )

Normally it's 1/12, but it is 1/24 if you want a no-AUF skip (assuming middle slice is not M or M' off, which is reasonable right after UL/UR are solved). I've had several of these in my Roux practice

 

[Carrot]

I got LL skip today xD but it was a WV case I knew, so it was "just" PLL skip...

 

[Sir E Brum]

I had a full LL skip with no AUF.

Spoiler

for a ZZ solve

 

[Chapuunka]

I've never got a LL skip, but I've only been cubing for 7-8 months.

It seems I always get an OLL/PLL skip after a terrible F2L though so it still ends up 5-10 sec over my average.

 

[bwatkins]

Only once, it took me a really long time to realize what had happened

It happened to me too! I thought the cube was done, I pressed the space bar, but the parity was two adjacent edge that I had not seen....

 

[StachuK1992]

Thrice. One like a week after I started, one the night before a competition (UPenn?), and one a month or so ago, during a class.

Also, I pretty much never have PLL skips. I think I may have more OLL skips than PLL skips (but I use partial edge control, so meh)

 

[Toad]

I've never got one but Breandan had 17 last time I asked...

He always gets them when travelling home from competitions he said lol...
