Weekly competition 2012-20

[guusrs]

FMC: 18 moves!

explanation: see odderen.dk or spoiler:

Spoiler

solve: B D L2 U L U' L2 F L F2 U F R' F' R F R2 B (18)

nice start on normal scramble: B D
pre-moves (D' B') on inverse scramble 2x2x2 block: B' R2 (2+2)
pre-moves (R2 B) on normal scramble:
2x2x2 block + pairs: B D (2+2)
extra pre-move (F) (2+3)
at this point F L would be the obvious thing to do for a 7-move 2x2x3 block (like Tomoaki suggested), but then the FL-edge would be flipped in an uncomfortable way so I did:
flip FL-edge: L2 U L U' L2 (7+3)
surprising F2L: F L F U F (12+3)
common LL-alg: F' U' F U F R' F' R, 5 moves cancel! (15+3)
undo pre-move: F R2 B (18)

finding good pre-moves are crucial (unless you name is Erik Akkersdijk (-; )
PB and 1 move above optimal solution!
BTW: optimal: L F2 U2 R' U' R' B2 U F B U' B' D' R2 D2 L2 F2 (17)

 

[Guti]

2x2
10.28, 5.24, 5.95, 7.07, 3.33= 6.09
3x3
23.32, 22.77, 27.85, 23.54, 25.48= 24.11(pb)
3x3 OH
1:09.63, 1:08.95, 56.00(pb), 1:14.33, 1:16.25=1:10.97(pb)
Very good for me

Excellent solution!

finding good pre-moves are crucial (unless you name is Erik Akkersdijk (-; )

I found the same start and pre-moves, as described in odderen.dk, but I couldn't find your solution.
The flip FL-edge step seems crucial for me, really nice and great.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Wow, Guus, that was just fantastic!

 

[Jaycee]

Holy godly Guus O.o

Goal : Beat Mike Hughey at MTS before week 30. T_T

[Attila]

FMC: 18 moves!

explanation: see odderen.dk or spoiler:

Spoiler

solve: B D L2 U L U' L2 F L F2 U F R' F' R F R2 B (18)

nice start on normal scramble: B D
pre-moves (D' B') on inverse scramble 2x2x2 block: B' R2 (2+2)
pre-moves (R2 B) on normal scramble:
2x2x2 block + pairs: B D (2+2)
extra pre-move (F) (2+3)
at this point F L would be the obvious thing to do for a 7-move 2x2x3 block (like Tomoaki suggested), but then the FL-edge would be flipped in an uncomfortable way so I did:
flip FL-edge: L2 U L U' L2 (7+3)
surprising F2L: F L F U F (12+3)
common LL-alg: F' U' F U F R' F' R, 5 moves cancel! (15+3)
undo pre-move: F R2 B (18)

finding good pre-moves are crucial (unless you name is Erik Akkersdijk (-; )
PB and 1 move above optimal solution!
BTW: optimal: L F2 U2 R' U' R' B2 U F B U' B' D' R2 D2 L2 F2 (17)

Congratz Guus, that's wonderful
