So.. did anyone work out the probably of my skip? [emoji39]

you can either make your cube better or slow turn more. i personally do the slow turning because my lookahead is not good enough sometimes.

How can I make my cube better? Do you have any tips for accurate turning?

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Nothing too important

Edit:
And with a 9.28 I am done for the day

I think that's what I did

Nice. I finished up yesterday with my first sub 12 ao 5

it was skip permutation and lse with no aufs right? that is pretty much impossible.

i'm not so sure about this one, but this should be pretty close to the right answer:

4!*6!*4*2^5/2=1105920
1/1105920=9.04224537e-7

it was skip orientation and lse with no aufs right? that is pretty much impossible.

What!? I was doing 2 look cmll, did corner oll, and it was solved. Rarer than ll skip in cfop!?

yeah, chances of skipping corner permutation with no auf is 1/4!.

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

Any viable LS systems for Roux. CLS maybe? or is it not worth it because of how you can influence EO during CMLL? Winter Variation? Is VHLS out of the question because of how CMLL algs can mess up EO?

Definitely not VHLS. Maybe WV, then CP+EO in one alg.
(but it's probably not worth it)

to skip both lse and corner permutation with no auf is far rarer than a last layer skip. i think it is about 20 times rarer than a last layer skip with no auf.

WOWOWOWOW It wasn't even a pb hahaha.

once in a life time chance, gone. but i guess pbs usually are really good blocks or lse.

Yeah I once got an LSE skip and it wasn't a pb (I was tired and slow then). But my pb now is full step (just easy)

Same (full step pb). I have never gotten block skips or lse skip, but i'be had 2 or 3 cmll skips.

 

[JediJupiter]

I just nearly got a pb, but I kept mis orienting the edges .__.

 

[GuRoux]

you should have way more than 2-3 cmll skips. that's what you'd expect if you've only done 500 solves lifetime. 1/162.

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

Hurray! I think I've finally broken my last barrier (17s). I now average 14-15 seconds! This just goes to show how much look ahead and slow turning can get you.

Wait you went directly from 17 to sub 15?

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

More like 16-17s to 14-15s sorry for being unclear.

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

I did too. Once I hit full sub 20, I was sub 17, and once I hit sub 17, I was sub 15
