2x2 Scramble: R U R2 F R' F2 R' U R' U'

Was practicing one handed and knew how to solve the entire cube before even turning it.

z //Inspection
R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R U2 //OLL

Time was 2.44. PB for 1 handed. Probably would have been a PB for 2 handed.

Skewb... two consecutive scrambles that should've been PB.

3. (5.37) U R U' L R' B' R U
4. (DNF(7.22)) U' B L R' B' U' R' U' L'
First solve is white layer, skip everything else. Timer stop fail.
Second solve I did blue layer, was supposed to hedge to skip L4C, did a sledge by accident, then failed trying to fix it.

U R U R2 U2 L U' R2 U L' U R2 U R U2 // ZBLL

Cool solve, but meh OH time because I only planned the Xcross and paused when I saw the pair before realizing inserting the edge would not disturb the pair.

Might have been a PB if I didn't lock up and my OH T perm didn't suck, but IDRK. At least there were no silly mistakes.

1. 10.01 R2 F2 U2 F L2 B L2 D2 L2 D2 U2 B R' F L2 D F R U2 B' D2 U2

z L2 F' R'//cross
U L U' L' U L U L'//F2l-1
R' U R U' R' U' R//F2L-2
L' U L U' L' U' L//F2L-3
U2 R U' R' U R U R'//F2L-4
U L' U' L U' L' U2 L//OLL
U' R' U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R2//PLL

All the same F2L case... also, dat alterating <L,U> and <R,U>
Could have been sub-9 but terrible lockup on PLL
