WHOA.PLL and OLL skip

[Cride5]

Maybe I'm just lucky, but so far I've had four LL skips .. and counting.

The chances of an LL skip are normally 1/15552 (assuming use of AUF). Using a method which pre-orients the LL edges (such as ZZ) increases the chances to 1/1944 (8x higher).

I suspect that not scrambling the cube properly could also lead to slightly higher chances of lucky solves, such as pre-connected C+E pairs, OLL/PLL skips etc. If you want to be sure you're solving a properly scrambled cube, I'd suggest using a random state scrambler

... on the other hand, If you really like LL skips try this

This is magic! Would this still be considered a record if you solved it faster then your previous record?

I have gotten no LL skips but with a PLL skip I got 15 seconds, I got lucky on the last two edge pairs.

I wish I could get an F2L skip....

but that was very awesome...i was celebrating for like 30 minutes...
thanks for the ll skip name thing

umm WTFFFF????

anyway I get them all the time. But only when I'm not doing on time :/

Lol I just got my first ever ll skip. Unfortunately my cross and f2l were so bad that I didn't even break my pb. It was still pretty crazy. I was solving my last slot and saw oll skip coming so I placed the pair and did a U' and was like oh, the cube is solved.

My last ll skip was when I averaged 50 seconds. I got a 39 =P. Man it's been a loooooonnnggg time.
