What is the most unlikely thing that ever happened to you?

[Mewrius]

LL skip with ZZ. I also tend to always get F and N perms >__>

 

[Weston]

I got to the last F2L pair, and all I had to do was U' z J-perm to solve the rest of the cube.

Ive gotten this twice before. One was a hand scramble though.

 

[Carrot]

My cube got run over by a car o.0 does that count?

can a car run? O.o that definitely counts! xD

I was waiting on a bus and got these five solves in a row:
LL skip, PLL skip, OLL skip, normal, OLL skip

that's is VERY unlikely to happen =D

It is likely to happen if you dont use a scrambling program and subconsciously scramble the cube in similar ways, thats what i noticed from it, so i use programed scrambles now, and when im away, i scramble it for about 80 - 100 moves to make sure its really scrambled properly.

getting T perm 3-4 times in a row... or sune cases for all 5 solves, that kind of crap... ti bugs me more than anything...

and for the OLL with all corners and no edges, i believe the ratio is 1/256 if im not mistaking.... or is it 1/216? not too sure about it, so twice in a row is indead a very unprobable case, in comparison with other LL algs that is....

1) To get the same LL I need to do the same F2L.. and that's not happening..

2) I can ensure you that non of the solves had the same cross so LL should be quite random

3) all scrambles was scrambled for atleast some couple of minutes... just because I was bored xD

this one's not in an average, but it was pretty odd

when i got my mini QJ 4X4 i was testing the corner cutting and it popped, quite violently, i managed to find all but one piece. after about a week i gave up looking, 2 months later i moved my room around and i gound the piece in my drawers, the unlikely thing is the drawers were almost brand new, literaly days old and the exact piece i lost months earlier was in them

This has happened to me a few times, not super unlikely, but still pretty funny.

If I am hand, scrambling a cube, I do so with my eyes closed, and a few times on the 2x2 I have opened my eyes and found a solved cube xD

My friend, doing the4x4x4 had a quasi-3x3x3 skip. All he had to do was U2 D' after the pairing was finished.

Did you witness it?

Scary.

Just got three OLL skips in a row, but I use Petrus.

4x4 LL skip in competition

 

[JTW2007]

CCT gave me a 2x2 scramble that ended up as a Sune + PLL skip + U to AUF. Needless to say, that was my best single.
I've also never had a lucky solve as my best 3x3 single.

 

[iasimp1997]

This thread is somewhat related to this one.

no it isn't

 

[eastamazonantidote]

I dropped the cube as I finished VHF2L. It hit the spacebar and stopped the timer. The cube was solved.

 

[ben1996123]

so uhh...

I once did (a very easy) ZBLL on a megaminx

LL solution was like, y2 R' U L U' R U L'

edit: slow turning (?) average of 5 on magic:

(2.05) 2.05 2.05 2.05 (2.05)

 

[TheMachanga]

I was recreating the WR solve with the same scramble and the same solution. After my 7th attemp I got 7.08 (=

 

[cmhardw]

The craziest thing that has ever happened to me is that once after solving the cross and the first two F2L pairs, all the remaining pieces on the cube were solved, but some were mis-oriented. I finished the solve BLD style by just flipping all the remaining pieces that were not flipped.

The probability of this is:
2 / [(6!)^2] = 1 / 259200

That is about 16 times less likely to occur than a LL skip after finishing F2L.

I've had three last layer skips in competition. One on 5x5 (it was bad so it just made the solve normal), 4x4 (again, it was bad so it made it normal) and OH (got me a single PB of half of what it previously was).

 

[Escher]

Jude Wright got parity on SQ-1 33 times in a row. No joke, I watched every solve.

I've had about 6 LL skips, 3 forced, but considering how many solves I've done that's probably EV.

Wow! That's really lucky! Are you irish? jk
