A two move first block!

This should have been a very fast solve, but I messed up the second block.

33 STM... With a 4 TPS, it would have been 8.25.

52/10.85 = 4.79 TPS Roux solve, wat
seeing up to the RSquare in about 5 seconds of inspection and having an easy CMLL to fingertrick helped

Unless that alg does some other thing that I'm not seeing.

My alg was 2-look with a cancellation R U R D R' U' R D' R2 to orient, J perm to permute. I don't know many CMLLs yet; probably somewhere between 10-15. I've learned the difference between my usual L OCLL and its mirror for COLL recently, so that's added on a couple more... but I don't count.

I did x' L D' R F R2 for an X-cross (or something like that), but I'll be very interested to see if there's anything better.
