On January 1, 2016, I will post a "last layer" position on the 5x5x5 in this section. This will be a "No Holds Barred" contest: Whatever you need to do to solve it is legal. This includes computer programs, bribing the best speed solver you know, making burnt offerings to some 5x5x5 Diety, whatever.
$100 paid by me goes to the winner.
Unlike other FMC challenges with private submissions, this contest will feature posts directly to this area while the contest is still running. That means someone might be able to use some of your solution to find a shorter solution. Tough! It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, so find the shortest solution you can before you post
All solutions must contain links to the Alg Cubing Net page, like this:
(Just a sample position...)
https://alg.cubing.net/?puzzle=5x5x..._3F2_D-_3L-_D_F2_D-_U_2L-_2R-_U-_D_F2_U_D-_2R
Once a solution is posted, only post subsequent solutions that are shorter. The STM metric will be used. Tiebreaks are awarded to the earlier post.
The contest ends once EDIT: 28 days elapse without an improved solution, or EDIT: 28 days go by with no solutions posted at all.
