My first official 3x3 solve was 20.00.

What's lucky about this..?

4 j perms in a row on 5x5, although the last one was an L perm

 

[LucidCuber]

I've had 7 LL skips. My shortest time between 2 was 6 weeks.

I've been between 168-200 without a PLL skip before. I did 168 solves in one day without a skip, and it took about 20-30ish the next day before I got another, but I only know 168 for sure.

I've had 4-Zperms in a row. I don't know about the others, but the Z-Perm stuck out because it was the last PLL for me to learn, so I had to do a 3 step last layer 4 times in a row

On a Skewb I got a luck 16 second last layer skip. Except I use one alg method trying to find faster method.

That happened to me with 10.88 once :O it was like at least 5 of them in an ao100

But 10.88 doesn't have the same significance as 13.37

This is true. It was significant because my friend set that as his PB that day and I got it like 5 times haha.

Pretty mediocre average though

For 4 Z perms in an OH ao5.
Didn't know the 2 gen Z perm. Messed up the avg badly.
I think this is the cube telling me that I should start learning it...

 

[Rocky0701]

One time i was starting out an ao50 and the second and third solves were PLL skips and then the 5th was an OLL skip, it was my new ao5 PB, but i've smashed it now.

 

[TDM]

Didn't know the 2 gen Z perm.

If you don't want to learn another alg, you could use table abuse (but I'd just learn the alg, it isn't a very hard one to learn).

 

[kcl]

Four PLL skips in a row.. Lots of LL influence. 3 EPLL skips cause Coll, one alternate 1lll alg for an awkward OLL.

His first solve ever in competition could have been sub 20 haha

 

[Logiqx]

I've just started timing myself for 4x4... 12 solves per session.

I did my third timed session yesterday: 9 x double parity, 1 x OLL parity, 1 x PLL parity and 1 x no parity. Strewth!
