If you didn't do any influencing during redux, thats the equivalent probability of them taking the cover off of your 3x3 in comp and only having LL scrambled
I get what you're saying, but the only other possibility I can think of is that I was so in the zone that I didn't even register doing F2L. Which I guess is significantly more likely, but all I know is I got to OLL and my brain went 'wtf there was no F2L' so hard I just stopped solving.

I just realized how many cubing acronyms you can make using only 3x3 scrambling notation:

F2L
LBL
BLD

There's probably more I can't think of, too.

Has there ever been a comp in the arctic circle?
Also can someone tell me the furthest north and south comps ever?
Finally remembered to actually check this. The answer is yes, there has been one comp in the arctic circle: the Arctic Open 2015 in Tromsø, Norway.

Also, here are lists of the furthest north and south comps.
