yeah.... you should learn what the sneaky fox said

Well, I've been solving cubes for about 15 years and I've never had a last layer skip. That has to be some unlucky streak right there.

Approximately how many solves do you think you might have done over the past 15 years? I'm just curious about how unlucky that is

Even only 10 solves a day should have been around 3 LL skips. So pretty unlucky. I also have not had one, but i have only done roughly 10,000 solves.

Hmm... 15 years is roughly 5479 days. 5479 days * 10 solves (a day) = 54790
(15551/15552)^54790 ~= 2.95%

I wouldn't say it's "pretty" unlucky given 10 solves a day.

How did you calculate that it "should have been around 3 LL skips"? Please show your steps?

Expected value = 54790 * (1/15552) = 3.52 LL skips

Oh whoops... I overlooked that, somehow I was thinking that it's more complicated than that

I got 3 PLL skips in a row a couple days ago. The second case was the mirror of the first case. I predicted the first two, but the third one was a surprise.

My hand has been rather weird lately. I seem to be dropping my cube and failing the solve more often.

All five solves of my average were DNFs or fails because I dropped the cube while doing OH.

I got 3 Z perms in a row yesterday.

 

[CyanSandwich]

3 U(a) perms in a row, and 5 out of 6 solves had U(a) perms.

 

[VeryKewlName]

I had 3 h perms in a row just now

 

[kcl]

Just got 7 U perms in a row.. It was influenced by OLLCP and coll stuff but still

That's like saying
'I got 7 OLL skips in a row but I use full VLS so...'

Chris, Rob and I once did a three cube factory solve, and we all got T-perm for PLL
