Ur learning CMLLEO! Why!!! I would if I was alex or when i am sub 8, but now even at my speed lse and blox are the things that need the most improvement.

Not full CMLLEO, just influencing EO during CMLL, like I did in that 'reconstruction' (which wasn't what I actually did). My usual CMLL which I used in the solve doesn't affect EO (it's a commutator).

How would good pyraminxers solve this?

This alg seems kind of inefficient, unless you really like it, you should just do Triple Sexy. (R U R' U')(R U R' U')(R U R' U') It's a lot of moves but can be executed ridiculously fast.

Hi. Thanks for the tip, I know that this case can be done with triple sexy but the problem is that trying to use fast algs during F2L blocks my lookahead so, I would finish inserting the pair faster but would end up staring at the cube looking for the next pair, so with very few exceptions I just use my intuitive F2L insertions.

This is also probably one of the reasons I am not faster overall and maybe when my lookahead improves I could use some of these specific, non-intuitive F2L algs to my advantage.

I would have been sub 10 if it was white on bottom....

Nice 10 moves less than my solution. Did you time it?

i tried it first timed but screwed up, put in a white LD edge instead of yellow. but i did get a cmll skip with that too, but too frustrated so i dnf.

Lol. I fail dl edge so much that i cancel into the cmll to fix it (antisune) with R U R2 U' R' U' R' U2 R

 

[GuRoux]

i figured out what it was
D B U L U' R D R' L B R2 L2 B U2 F R2 U2 D2 B2 D2

z2
b' M' b' M2 B' U L U' L' M2 U2 l U l' (14)
then i did some moves and realized i messed up and was really sad. continuation:
U' M' U M U2 M U' M U2 M2 d M U2 M' (14)

wow, a lot better than the solution i posted above.

after many tries i finally got sub wr, 5.5

D B U L U' R D R' L B R2 L2 B U2 F R2 U2 D2 B2 D2 can someone do something with this?

21 move solution

on inverse: U' L D U' R2 F // 2x2x3
R' B R // pseudo F2L - 1
on normal: B' D B' D' // to L5C

skeleton: * B' D B' D' R' B' R F' ** R2 U D' L' U
insert at *: [U, B' D B]
insert at **: [F L2 F', R]

final solution: U B' D B U' B2 D' R' B' R L2 F' R F L2 F' R U D' L' U (21)

I was practicing green cross (but I made an exception for this case).

I don't think I will ever see a case easier then this in my life.

F R U R' U' F' [6/51]
Unfortunately I knew this case, but I was going so fast that I used 2 look PLL.
U' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' [15/51]
U' M2 U M U2 M' U M2 [8/51]

Not FMC, but here's what I did the first time:

L2 F2
U2 R U2 R' U2 F U' F'
U' M2 U2 M2
U R U R' U' R U' y R U' R' F'
L U' R' U L' U' R

32 moves. Didn't time it.

Insert @: F R2 F' L2 F R2 F' L2 // 3 moves cancel
Final: B' F' L2 U2 B2 D' B' D R2 F' L2 F R2 F' L' D2 L' D' L' F' D' F D L2 D L' (26)

I'm sure there's a much shorter, non-CFOPy solution
