CN doesn't help you with PLL skips. All it affects is cross in fact, because that's all you're looking forward to. You don't even look at the position of the LL pieces when you're doing a color neutral solve so there's no way the cross can affect them in a way that would make them less random.

AWESOME solve though Rowe, you'll get a proper sub-10 official average sooner or later! Keep practicing!
 
Right because when he selects a color to do cross on he looks all the way ahead to the PLL to see if it will be a skip...

That's not what I meant. I was trying to say that when you solve with one color every time, there is always a 1.32% chance of a pll skip (52/3916, being that every ll case's oll also solves the pll) for that color alone per scramble. By being color neutral, the probability of a PLL skip increases greatly, because the likelihood of other conditions in favor of PLL skip (like ZBLL whether it be accidental or not, among other things) increase. It's complicated, but the point is that math shows you are more likely to get a PLL skip out of 100 solves being color neutral, as opposed to only using one color everytime.

Even if you say the math isn't right, etc. You don't need to look at the math. Erik Akkersdijk's 7.08 was a color neutral solve technically, because he normally uses white as a cross color, I believe, and the WR video shows the cross being yellow, and yielding a PLL skip.

I apologize greatly if I'm wrong, and apologize again for being off topic.

I don't believe you. Show me this 'math'.

lolwut.

No problem. :)
 
I wasn't aware that just by looking at the unsolved cube, one can know whether by selecting a particular color, you can have a PLL/OLL skip. It seems incredible. It depends a lot on the F2L algos you use,right? (Having a skip,like even a URU'R' or R'FRF' can make a difference to the last layer).

Anyway,great solve.
