Don't ask how I found that EO 223, I still have no idea. I wasn't even expecting a good solution since I did it fully on CubeDB and I was just testing out some stupid 223 solutions before I tried a real cube. I just tested it, and it turns out the ergonomics are also pretty good, even the 223 flows well, and I'm pretty sure it can be regripless if done correctly, but there might be a slight shift for the U2 B U2 M'. Overall I am really surprised this turned out to be such a good solution for a first try during my testing phase.

I don't really know if this is a super APB solve, but I was able to get this very interesting solution none the less. It might be more Nautilus-like if I'm remembering it correctly.

That was such an interesting scramble, it was difficult to find a good and ergonomic 223 while not spending a lot of moves preserving the blocks, but I was able to find something nice.

Here is the week 4 example solve. I am really happy with the TPS though, 6.6 is on the higher end of what I'm capable of, especially considering the amount of R2 moves I do.

I don’t understand how you can turn so fast OH lol

And to think people like Dhruva and so many other top OHers can turn 2 TPS faster than this is crazy!

I think it’s impressive that you can turn only 2 TPS slower than top OHers lol

Yeah, I tried to get a good 223 on that scramble but I couldn't figure anything out all day.
