[Unofficial] 7.38 3x3 single

[TDM]

Fourth best single ever.

I've only used my WeiLong once or twice since getting it, since I don't really like it. Bad shades, unfamiliar with the plastic colour, too uncontrollable, too big... but apparently I get really good times with it. Had 9.41 (12.89) 9.85 12.80 (9.06) = 10.69 earlier too.

Spoiler: Reconstruction

25. 7.38 R2 F2 R2 F2 D' F2 D2 F2 U2 L2 U2 R D2 U' L' F' D B2 F' D' L

x2 // Inspection
L D R' D' R // Cross (5/5)
U R U' R' // F2L-1 (4/9)
U2 r' F r U r' F r U' r' F r // F2L-2 (12/21)
y R' U' R // F2L-3 (3/24)
R U R' y' R' U2 R U R' U' R // ZBLS (10/34)
r U R' U' r' F R F' U' // ZBLL (9/45)

45/7.38 = 6.10 TPS.

For your second F2L pair, is there a reason you did that alg? You could have done U L2 U2 L U L' U L2, which I find faster, but maybe that's just personal preference. I thought you maybe did it for EO, but my alg solves EO too. Nice solve by the way!

I usually use that too! I don't know why I didn't do that. I also did some weird ZBLS instead of the standard insertion, which also orients edges.

here's a lolsolution:

with premoves R2 D':
L2
F' U F2
R U2 R
U' R U R'
B U2 B2 R B R' B' R B R' B U2 B'
R2 D'

26 moves

12 move F2L? Nice... I really wish I was dual neutral now. If I ever start practising CFOP much in the future that'll be the second thing I do, after learning OLL.

It's really a 14 move F2L because of the premoves

I thought I included those. But now checking again, I'm getting 13 moves... can I not count or something?

Oh yeah it's 13, I just said 14 because you said 12 haha
