Megaminx last layer skip

Last night I had my first megaminx last layer skip (I only had to to
a U' turn). The probability for this is about one in a million.
Anyone else had this before? Admittedly I did partial edge control
(you know, solving the last CE pair before the LL with R' F R F'
instead of U R U' R') to influence edge orientation.

Cheers!

I never had that ever sadly :P
I had a PLL skip a couple of times but a full layer skip...
But more importand stefan, the time! What was the time? ;)

No good, 1:29.xy. I just wanted to do a final solve before I went to
sleep, so I was sitting relaxed on my bed with only little light.

Brian, sorry, that what directed at Stefan
That happens when you reply to the wrong message, ha!

Do you have the scramble or was it random?
Random. I always twist randomly for 40 seconds, that's 100+ moves. If
I had the scramble, what would you do with it? Try to reconstruct my
solve until the last layer?

Something I wonder: How long did it take you to recognise you got
lucky? :)
About a second, I think, but I don't really remember. I'd say it's
about as easy to recognise as a 3x3 LL skip.

Cheers!

Yes, my fault. I was just curious if it was a random or standard mix.

Nice. Do you have the scramble or was it random?

Wow! That must be an amazing feeling.

Something I wonder: How long did it take you to recognise you got
lucky? :)
