Hmm. I might have to come back to this scramble later. The premoves R' U' R' U2 R2 U R gave a 2 2-cycle of corners. But unfortunately even the optimal solution (from Cube Explorer) to that 2 2-cycle is like 17 moves. So this post is mainly for the following. Someone else try Filipe's scramble, or I will try again later.NEXT: U2 R U' R2 U' R' U2 R U2 R' U' R2 U R' U2 R' U2 R U R' U2 R2 U R' U2
I solved this in three different ways. All solutions are 16 STM.M2 // BAD EDGES ON TOP
U' M' U' M U2 M' U' M // EO
M2 U M' U2 M U2 M2 // LR
U M' U2 M2 U2 M // MIDDLE SLICE
I'm bad at l6e, any tips, tricks and shortcuts are welcome
Scramble:
M' U M' U2 M U M' U' M2 U' M' U' M' U' M' U2 M U' M U M U
Solution 1
//Aim to solve the UF and UB edges simultaneously
M2 U M2
U2 M U //conjugates
U M U M' U M U M'//Special 3-cycle
U' M' U2//inverse of conjugates
Solution 2
//From solution 1, we can orient the three edges which remain after M2 U M2 with the following.
M' U (M' U2 M U2) U' M
//Now do M2 U M2
M2 U M2
//We have a simple oriented 3-cycle remaining
U' M' (M' U2 M U2) M U
Solution 3
//Premoves
U' M U M' U M2
//Correct centers and create a 3-cycle
M2 U' M2 U M2
//Solve that 3-cycle
M U //Conjugates
U M' U M U M' U M //special 3-cycle
U' M' //inverse of conjugates
