The reconstruction thread

[Brest]

Someone's HTA is very legit: /snip

Thank you for the elaborations. Out of all the methods, I understood this one the least. "The cube turned and stuff got solved" isn't the best explanation ever. =) Updated.

 

[Cubenovice]

Heh. Blame Macky for that one.

I’ve done color neutral EO before so it it was not the cube orientation as such that made me go “?”
The fact that you still had two mis-oriented edges on D after the F’ did.

But after the x2y’ I realized that you actually EO’d for another orientation as the one you originally held your cube in.

Lol at the slice move extravaganza for EO though, Roux has seriously affected your brain
The 2 mis oriented edges could be solved in 4 HTM.

Indeed. I realise how bad and hacky my EO stage is, it's something I'd like to improve at so I can get faster at ZZ.

Was just much easier at the time to spam MU to do it

I've sorta given up on Anthony's 9.69 but here's the scramble I think: B2 L2 F' D2 F' U B' L R2 D2 L D2 F' D L B2 D' R'

I think it might have actually been a LL skip.

I'm not sure about the 1st or 2nd pair, but I think he did white-orange pair, then red-yellow pair

Then orange-yellow pair, red-white pair, LL skip.

 

[DavidWoner]

It was definitely a PLL skip. I'll try in a bit, though Anthony's turning style is hard to dissect.

 

[Robert-Y]

Got it!

Scramble: B2 L2 F' D2 F' U B' L R2 D2 L D2 F' D L B2 D' R'

Cross: x y D R D R2 L2 D (6)
1st pair: U' R' U R U2 y' L U L' (8)
2nd pair: U L' U2 L U R U R' (8)
3rd pair: y U R U' R' L U' L' (7)
4th pair: y' U2 R' U' R U2 R' U R (8)
LL: skipped

Move total: 37

This is just a simplified version. I didn't include things like U U' which cancel.

 

[Brest]

Wow Rob, that's impressive. :tu Take that stripey-shirt judge!

 

[Robert-Y]

Thanks Brest

I was talking to David Woner about it. We had trouble working out what he did for the 1st and 2nd pairs because of the arm, but luckily I managed to guess correctly after a few attempts

Did you ever explain how that was done?

Indeed, how did you do that‽

Brest, would you mind reconstructing my sub10 avg12? Maybe it's not the best angle, but it's possible to do.

Thanks!

Hm!

Surprisingly low movecount considering I was speedsolving a FMC-esque method.

 

[5BLD]

I love how you execute the U2' L2 x3

 

[Kirjava]

That's really slow >_> I can do it in like 0.7.

Yes indeed! If you have the time, can you describe the steps? I may not have broken up each line at the correct stage.

Still looks smexy.

 

[Kirjava]

lol there are only two steps in the method

Reduce to opposite colours on each side -> Solve

Although I do the first phase like a roux solve on a 3 colour cube when speedsolving, I solve totally differently when I use this for FMC.

That should help you see the mini-steps more easily.

 

[Cubenovice]

Yeah I noticed the opposite colored roux blocks

How come you didn't solve U2' L2 U2' L2 U2' L2 (zx') U2 M' U2 M in a single alg?
