I got a sub-10 F2L OH. LL was all RrU, but I hadn't really warmed up (or done a OH solve for at least a week before the session), so I failed.

This is a 2x2 Scramble: L2 F D R F' D F' L B2 L2

z' y' //Prediction for OLL (Double headlights)

F //First side
R2 U2 R' U2 R2 //OLL

I got 2.71, because I derped at the end. I did U3'. This beat my personal best though.

... can't find the rest of the solution. PLL was V perm

That's my fastest solve ever on a color that's not white or yellow. I'm not going color neutral or anything like that, I just couldn't resist that one move green cross.

Yes, I got the same F2L case four times in a row in one solve. Luckily, it was an easy case, and super easy to look ahead to since the pieces are joined. But wow. All four F2L slots were the same case???

I guess this is why we use random state scramblers...

obviously I didn't see that during the solve.

Why not F U R U' R' F' R' U2 R U R' U R U? It's basically the same thing, but it would avoid B moves. Also it's exactly what I would do in a solve because I don't know that OLL

The standard alg for that OLL is sune then F R U R' U' F'. I noticed the skip after I did the sune part, so that's how I wrote it down. if I saw the skip in a speedsolve I would do U2 fluluf U.
