Well, I'm not a probabilites expert, but let's try... You can't have just 1 or 3 or 5 or 7 corners correctly (or incorrectly) oriented. Always even numbers. So, assuming that the probability of one corner being oriented is 1/3, you have 1/9 of probability of having 2 correct corners. The probability of having 4 correct ones is 1/81. For 6 correct corners is 1/729. And for all 8 corners correct is 1/6561. So, the probability of having a case like I had is 1/729. I don't know what proportion of the solve it saved. People solve the cube BLD differently. I use commutators for solving the CO. Really don't know the proportion...: ( Pedro
