Edit: Just did scramble, it has a ridiculously easy cross (3 moves) and could easily be made X-cross

It's not.

It really is...free 2x2x1 block in inspection

Unfair ban? ...

Unfair ban? ...

Not really. He's been doing generally annoying scrambles, stupid scrambles, and sometimes not even posting a scramble. It's not like it's the first time he's done this. He's had warnings before.

Alright, I'll give pre-moves a go... never done it before... and not even sure whether I'm doing it right... I've never tried FMC actually before.

bleh. 50+ moves. I could do better with normal Roux. But yah, I at least got to know some new techniques.

Yo Rpotts, are you missing a rotation at the start?

Next : R D B2 R D' U2 F' R' B2 L2 B D2 L2 F2 D U R B' F2 L B2 R2 F2 R' L'

y' x L U2 F L : 1st look "Roux" block
x' U' R u R' u R : 2nd look XXcross
U2 R U R2 U' R : 3rd look 2 pairs
U' R U R' U R U' R' U' R' F R F' : OLL
f R f' R2 u' R U' R' U R' u R2 : PLL

Low move count start; relatively long LL.
3x2x1 block was lucky as I was just trying to preserve one corner for an Xcross.
3rd & 4th pair are funny; solving one sets up the other, or (as I did) solving the other solves both.

Maybe I suck at notation, but that solve isn't working for me (tried it about 3 times). >.<
Maybe I'm getting the cube rotations wrong...

Anyway, to your scramble:
y' x
First block: D' F D2 U' R2 U M' L U' x'
(Non-matching) Second block: U R U2 r' U' R2 U2 r' U r
CMLL: R2 D' R' U2 R D R' U2 R'
LSE: U' M U' M' U M' U2 M' U l2 U2 M2 U2

41 moves STM (47 HTM).

Roux solve, as you can see by the spamming of M's. Also - I decided I might as well try non-matching blocks, which I don't usually do.

Maybe the rotations or the wide moves. Try the visualization on alg.garron.

let's start a roux streak, shall we?
This is a regular roux speedsolve apart from the posh Fs at the end.
U l U l B' L U' L 8 moves
y U2 R2 r U' r' U r2 U2 M2 U R2 11 moves
U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 r' R2 U2 10 moves
M' U M' U' M2 U F2 M F2 M 10 moves
Total 49 moves... So it's pretty good for a speedsolve
Sorry it took so long. I had to do something and typing from a phone is not ideal either.

Um are you sure that works? Your OLL doesn't seem to work... (argh you broke the chain!)

Was that an N perm?
My n perm is also a j perm with conjugates lol
