[WR] Rami Sbahi - 20 FMC single

Whoa, nice one Rami!

Looking for a 2-move pseudo-222 then switching (which was mentioned earlier in the thread), I managed to find the skeleton quickly and the insertion once I managed to apply the skeleton correctly while checking. Took a while to even spot the 2-moves, after that there's a few nice looking options. Without looking at the scramble for that start, I doubt I would have found the solution, so well spotted sir.

Edit: Optimal is 18 moves btw - U F' B U' F' U D B' U L U2 L' D L2 F' D2 B' L (18f*)

Thanks!

Mmmmm... interesting. That'll help when describing this to non-cubers (if they ever ask...) so they can get a perspective on this, perhaps.
 
Rami and I were almost late to the attempt. We arrived about 90 seconds before the papers were passed out.

Yes. Please send me the vids that have to do with this FMC attempt! I'm gonna make a vid with:

1. Us running to FMC (before)
2. Reconstruction of the FMC, maybe a stop motion turning thing (the actual solve)
3. Kit checking my explanation (after)
4. A little commentary about my thoughts on the solve (after)

can't wait :)
 
Nice lunch choice! Glad you made it back in time.

This scramble just had so many promising starts. Discussed it with a lot of people today, and everyone was able to find completely different things that definitely looked promising. Rami just happened to pick the most promising one, and it worked out well!

lol, thanks! It wasn't easy...

Yep, that's exactly it!
 
Rami you should make a video walking us through what you saw during the solve and how you found your solution, and perhaps what other potential starts you may have gone with.

EDIT: We also need a reaction video
