<3 Scramble #6373
9.03 <--- First sub10 :D
Reconstruction:
y' z' U2 R U' x' U z' <--- Cross on left :D
R U' R'
L' U2 L2 U L'
y' R U' R'
U2 f R U R' U' f' <U2 f sexy move f'>
M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2 U2 <H + U2>

But a better way would have been F U R U' R' F' for OLL then H perm without AUF. <-- Thanks Meep (:
 
2x2

2.69 on
scramble: R' F R' F U R2 U'

solution was

inspection: z x'
1st layer: R' U2 R
last layer: U' R U2 R' U' R U' R'
 
(3,3) / (0,3) / (3,-4) / (6,0) / (6,0) / (-3,1) / (0,-3) / (-3,6) / (-5,-1) / (6,6) / (4,-1) / (6,3) / (6,6) / (3,6) / (6,5)

Wow. I got 14.66, PB by almost 9 seconds :P

Look at the puzzle after the (6,3) / near the end of the scramble.

Really inefficient cross = all 3-move pairs (and easy LL)? :p

All edges oriented, and all but two permuted :p

52 Turn solve, including all rotations but the y in inspection. My time was 19.98. I got the X-Cross by complete luck of the scramble! That final F2L slowed me down a bit, as I "found" that way of inserting by accident. I used to have this really long way of doing it. Thank god it was an OLL I already know! :D
