Ninja'd????

exactly my solution!

That's so crazy....

EDIT:

Slight difference on how we inserted the final pair on the second block, but same movecount and CMLL.

I was able to trim 3 off your L6E

44 STM. Any ideas for a better SB?

 

[pewpewrawr]

If we're allowed to do non-matching you could do:
R' r' U M' U R' U' R r U2 R2 U' R' (13)
Which also leads to a CMLL skip.

Not bad, I would suggest setting your inspection up to solve your FB on the left side rather than on F, though we aren't doing speed solves so it doesn't really matter.

Very nice, thank you! I found a (10+1)-move LSE.

Yeah, I think I was a bit tired when I did this. I missed the 1 move square too :fp In a solve I'd probably do the square on the left to avoid a rotation. y' L' U L2 y is hard to do without the rotation in a speedsolve though.

In your LSE, after U M U', you should put UF/UB instead of UL/UR, which gives a much better LSE:
U M U' M' // EO
U2 M2 U' // UF/UB (treated as UL/UR)
M2 // M-perm
U // put back UF/UB

Overall, U M U' M' U2 M2 U' M2 U (9).
Tada! 2 moves are saved.
