1.07 solve for weekly competitions

[kirbzcitkatz]

I have know idea how but I got a flipping 1.07 skewb solve and it was a 2 flipping move solve

I don't care if you think that it is fake go look for yourself!

Sorry to burst your buttle, but Skewb needs 7 moves to solve for it to be a valid scramble.

Not long ago I converted to a direct translation of the WCA skewb scrambler for the weekly competition. It should not be possible for there to be a 2-move solution - all solves for skewb scrambles should now be at least 7 moves long.

If you are able, please give the 2-move solution. If it's real, I'll probably have to give an alternate scramble and require everyone to re-solve (and figure out where my bug is). Otherwise, I can give you an alternate scramble if you like (treating it as a misscramble), or else I will need to change it to a DNF.

Then did I scramble it wrong?

I believe (and hope) so. That's why I said, please give your 2-move solution if you are able to find it. It is possible that I somehow made a mistake in the translation; I had to convert the code from Java in order to use it, so I could have made a mistake there. Please reapply the scramble and see if you can give the notation for the solution. If you can provide a 2-move solution here, I will know my program has a bug, and I can try to correct it. Otherwise, I will assume it was a misscramble on your part.

I have a friend that can solve the skewb with 1 move.

If I can critizise you.
Would it have hurt to put Skewb anywhere in the Title

it turns out that i was doing B wrong

but it was still a scramble

It was still a scramble, but unfortunately not a valid one.

If you would like to do a replacement solve, you may use this scramble:
B L B' U' L R B R B R' B'

but it was still a scramble

It may be unfair that you have an invalid solve but if misscrambles wouldn't be DNF'd, everyone yould just scramble by a single U and then claim WR with Misscramble

well this was lame
