CFOP/ZZ Quick-witted Princess Leia (F2L completion guessing)

[Tito_H]

Episode XX+2

Princess Leia
was in trouble again.
She was in the commander’s
room in the Death Star, surrounded
by Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, Commander Tarkin, etc…

Lets' go to the point this time, since you know the situation of Princess Leia, and we don't have much time in this month.

Death Sidious said to Leia, “You should complete the F2L in 6 moves in HTM base, to save the Earth.”

1. Cube position: Yellow up, Orange front
2. Cross done.
3. Two F2Ls (dBL, dFL) done.

What do you do?

Thanks. At least you have commented to my post

What do you do?

Ask Cube Explorer (okay, I will disqualify myself from the next "guessing" series as you might consider me cheating).

Thanks for your response.
Your solve (the 1st one) is what she did.
The 4th one is interesting.

I have never considered that you are cheating. One way to get answer is use some apps like Cube Explorer, which is totally valid. But there is also other ways to get answer, without using them, which is also valid. I apologize if my comments were unclear and caused misunderstanding.

If you play it normally, it will go as follows:
R U' R2' U R //dBR
R' U2' R2 U R2' U R //dFR,
which requires 12 moves. Even if you cancel some of it and get R U' R2 U' R2 U R2' U R, it still takes 9 moves.
So, being able to solve it in 6 moves is a great value.

I figured out a 7 move solution that was quite similar to the 6 mover: D' R2 U R2 U' R2 D.

Thanks. Nice way!
I feel like I can come up with other tricks based on your idea.
