Pseudo F2L minus 1 pair (Do premove R' L' U' B L' R' U2 before the inverse scramble to see it): F R F R

Pseudo F2L leaving two corners and two edges swapped: F2 . R F R' (R2 if you didn't do the second premove)

Insert B U2 L F L' F' L' U L2 F' L' F' L F L' U B' at the dot to solve the two corners and two edges. I've never tried a two corner/two edge insertion before this solve. Had I remembered the 10 move alg for the T perm I could have had a 35 move solution assuming there were no cancellations. This solve motivates me to learn the optimal length algs for each of the two corner/two edge swaps. After this solve I realize those algs could come in handy in the future.

5x5x5BLD: 11:50.58 15:09.30 DNF

Wow! Congrats!

 

[cmhardw]

Wow! Congrats!

Thanks Mike, I was quite excited! I think that's my 3rd or 4th fastest single solve ever! I don't know why that solve was so fast. Memo felt smooth and easy, and I did very little reviewing. Oddly enough the solving phase felt slower than usual, but still smooth with no delays. I guess I was using think ahead very well, and turning slightly slower than normal. That would give the illusion of a slow solve, when in actuality it was probably a good bit faster than normal without the delays.

Good luck with your solves this week too! With your super insanely fast time on your super close 7x7 DNF, I imagine you got some other results this week that you can be proud of as well
