Hey all, I've wanted to post this for some time. It's the lucky or unlucky records thread. Have you ever had a long run of PLL skips? How about 4 N-perms in a row? The exact same time three times in a row?

This is generally not for single scrambles and solves but for a streak of luck or unluck. I have posted some examples below. I will update this thread with new records as they come, maybe top 3 of each category or something like that depending on entries. Feel free to suggest or post new categories. You should specify which category/puzzle you are entering.

I prefer U perms to J perms. EDIT2: OP has changed, comment is now meaningless.
I had no OLL skips for the first 7-8 months of cubing. I estimated something like 10,000 solves at the time, which was about right. I then got 4 unforced OLL skips in one Ao5.

EDIT: also optimal V perms are awesome

EDIT2: I once had over half my solves in one Ao30 for a forum race as EPLLs, and another time I had at least 20 R perms in the same ao50. Longest streak was probably 7-8.

Not sure how to put these in the records. Maybe I need to have a "Most # of X within 100 solves?"
 
I'm not being sarcastic. I'm simply incredulous. That is amazing. Some people never get LL skip in their lifetime. I think I've gotten 2 or 3 in my life.
I've never got one yet. I probably do 100-150 solves a day on school days, and more on weekends.
My cubes hate me.

It's kinda difficult to have them as records as I can't remember anything exactly. Also, imo, you don't need to just keep adding categories for everyone.
