Darn it, a failed 0.963... I thought it was one of the easy EG-1 algs I know, and the colors are almost exactly the same, but the one I know is Pi and the one I failed is H. Here's the scramble:
U F' U R2 F2 U F' U' F

A scramble to prove that people can get sub-2 with Ortega:
U2 F' R U' R2 U R' F2 R
y' x' U' L' // orient both layers
R U' R F2 R' U R' // permute both layers

Fourth sub-1 today: 0.683 (8 mover! On computer though)
U' F R2 F R' U F R' U2
L2 U' L U' L' U L U' // solve

This scramble is only one move off from a scramble that I used to practice... I randomly scrambled the cube in about 8 steps, then try to solve it in 8 steps. This scramble is one of them.

I did almost 300 2x2 solves yesterday (285), and out of those solves, I got 38 sub-2 solves - 34 sub-2 and 4 sub-1. I'm going to drill some 3x3 today, stop 2x2 for a while (even though I still didn't get that four mover).

I know I said that I was going to stop 2x2 for a while (at least a day), but I couldn't help myself. ;-;
R F R2 F2 R' F U2 R2 U' 0.793
z2 // inspection
U2 R U' R' U R U' R' U2 // solve
I did U2 at the start because I could see that it would give me a bar on the back and it might skip OLL, but it also skipped PLL too.

I've been actively cubing for over four years and only now do I realize that the color scheme of the cube in the WCA logo is wrong.

The solution on white is the exact same solution on orange, but I hate U2 moves so I swtiched to orange.
