Cubing FML

Today, I was on a comp doing fmc mo3. I got a pretty good 35 with the first one and 42 with the second one (not so good). Third one: I couldn't find anything good, and pretty much gave up towards the end. I started finding different f2l options and then I found an awesome one, with a premove (U). What I did, was writing it down to the end of my solution as U'. So, I somehow wrote an INVERSE PREMOVE even though the whole solution was in normal. What I found then, was a 6 move oll, with 2 moves canceling! I was at 27 moves now. Luckily enough I had an A-perm as result (only about 3 minutes left). I wrote it down, and started checking my solution. I somehow messed the execution up, 10 seconds left, but, however, I trusted that my solution was right. Time ran out, I started checking the solution again. Last move, and it's the WRONG WAY! Worst moment ever, that left me in a bad mood about the whole day.

If I hadn't been this stupid
- I would've won fmc as the only one with a mean
- I would've beat my previous comp mean by 5 moves
And
- It was so simple solution, almost linear, with just 1 pseudo block
- By inserting the corner cycle, the solution would've been even a lot better

fml.

I'm trying not to get very depressed, as I had an amazing competition when it comes to blindsolving! Also, I'm improving all the time so I'll probably smash these fmc results again by the autumn and my next comp.

Got a 38.67 FMC mean at a comp yesterday, tying my PB. The third solve was 23 moves to 2 edges and 2 corners unsolved, so I had to do an insertion. No problem there, except that I've never actually done any insertions besides 3-cycles of corners. I ended up making what I knew was a terrible decision by setting them up like an Old Pochmann blind target and solving them like that in 16 moves. I got a 39, which is an okay solution for me, but this morning I realized I could've just as easily done a 12-move J-perm (including set-up moves) that would've canceled a move and given me a 34. If I had done that in comp, the mean would've been a 37. :(

Out of curiosity, does anyone know a better way to do 2 corners and 2 edges than inserting a PLL?

Heh, you tied me
 
I screwed up my G-perm recognitions for G and G[d] for some reason and lost a 1v1 single solve match with a friend. I average sub-19 and got a 34 second solve. He averages ~30 seconds. Over the next week, he bragged about how he beat me once.

G-Perms: ruining your solve time since 1981.

silliest scramble I've seen
 
Drew brads counting 5.54 in 7.00 average rip. More importantly he had a 5.42 where he could have done U2 lefty sexy sledge and gotten a pll skip, instead he did a right sexy sledge and got a y perm, idk how much that cost him but he would possibly have gotten wr
