I wish i was at your comp

You wouldn't have got the skip. No one else did. He must have done a really inefficient FL and got lucky. So.. yeah.

 

[Faz]

Doesn't look that inefficient. Maybe he just solved the white, whereas others opted for a different colour.

True. I hadn't watched the video yet. Well, he still probably didn't do the best FL.

 

[Edmund]

So maybe it pays off to not be CN sometimes for 2x2. I used to be cn but I'm only opposite now (white/yellow). anyway even if it was lucky good job.

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

Nice face

 

[Escher]

I'd guess about 6-7 moves, not particularly inefficient at all.
My 2nd ever official solve for 2x2 was a 4.13 second LL skip xD

 

[Muesli]

6 turn solution.

Sheesh.

I doubt that you really mean that...

Oh, and I just got a 2.48 average of 5... WTF2L?

...but all of the solves were PLL skips:

single.....avg12.....avg5......comment

2.72.......5.47.......5.13.......PLL skip
3.52.......5.33.......5.05.......PLL skip
2.25.......5.19.......4.02.......PLL skip
2.62.......4.89.......2.95.......PLL skip
1.95.......4.42.......2.53.......PLL skip
2.58.......4.01.......2.48.......PLL skip

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT HATE ON ME SAYING IT WAS FAKE.

Ben, we don't hate you... we just hate your luck and damn... I'm feeling slow with my official 2.81 now xD

You should pick your parent's lottery numbers

Well done though.

 

[Carrot]

He should do average of 5 .... He might just get £1.000.000+ average =D

(that was just a joke xD)

No it doesn't. You have the same amount of chance for a skip regardless of what face you started with (unless it's predicted) so on average, it's always better to be CN on a 2x2 (assuming that your recognition is equal for all colours).

EDIT: Okay, you were probably saying that it pays off in exact situations like this where you chose an inefficient colour to start with and got lucky

 

[ManasijV]

Well done Ben Its really not your fault that other people in the competition couldn't predict the outcome of the LL after solving the FL. Getting lucky isn't a crime....
