I swapped two colors on the cross in the 6th and 7th solves. I guess I should apply a LL algorithm when I do this rather than get confused.

I don't think you would be able to do a LL alg if you swap two cross edges. However, I have come across the case when I forget to do a D2 or u2 after putting in the cross pieces in the correct orientation. If I catch it really early, I might correct it. But usually not early enough in which case I complete the solve as normal, then flip the cube over and do the H perm.

i have slowed down a lot since a began the fridrich F2L. but as i read in this forum, it slows one down in the beginning.
and is good for long term. so i am happy.

 

[CarlBrannen]

Outsmash, that's the perfect algorithm. It's usually the way I've got a pair swapped, and the algorithm you give leaves the rest of F2L perfect.

Oh dear. 2nd solve: had a J-perm. Halfway through the algorithm, I simply forgot how to do it.
4th solve: N-perm fail.
6the solve: Felt good. F2L went quickly and good last layer. Probably a sub 30. But then, I didn't start the timer.

Boo... I went up this week. No sub-30 times. Waahh...

Edit: I just realized I got a PB Ao5 = 34.48. So less sad now.

Congrats. That is pretty good. I wish I could do that with both hands

Awesome had a sub 20 solve without white cross (im already kinda opposite color neutral though) apparently my green red and orange really suck and white yellow and blue are alright.

Round 122
Average of 12: 31.63

I guess this is what I get for not practicing much. I'm pissed because the lighting in my room was kinda low, so I kept pairing up F2L pairs wrong and adding a few seconds to my times. It happened like five times, too!
