APB Example Solve Thread

[acrystal]

what is this guy on??
i think you ate too many crystals

how am i supposed to know the cancellations? I just assumed it doesnt have 223+EO->RB->ZBLL
I guess i understand know its APB now

or you can cancel into WV instead of just solving the pair

Not gonna lie, I enjoy doing these example solves, even if I have to look up the LXS moves.
Not gonna chose it as my main method, but it's fun.

I only had to look up how to do EO + BR pair together, how to do XLS, and the matching ZBLL algorithm. But hey, everything else is my finding!

The scramble is very interesting... Not sure if I was able to utilize those nice lines and pairs in a good way. Maybe it's possible to build an even better 2x2x3?

Nope, PLL is wrong. I recommend using twizzle - otherwise you're giving a change to introduce an error.

@Renslay your 223 was pretty good. The pre-made lines had some potential, but I think the 223 solution you gave was pretty efficient.
@Caleb Valenzuela the 223 solution you gave was also pretty good (and probably what I would have done). The only major difference in your solution is a slightly higher move-count in BR pair.
Both good 223 solutions!
