x' z' // Inspection
F' U' r F R2 F' // FB + Square (6/6)

U' R U2 R2 F R F' R U2 R' // CMLL (10/23)
U' M' U' M2 U M U2 // LSE (7/30)

30/8.32 = 3.61 TPS... first solve for a day or two.
Doing the lefty CMLL saves a move too and makes it sub-30 STM.
 
Three solved 2x2s within 5 solves...

All with Roublocks I can do as well.

Three solves later, a 2 move cross:

E: second best time ever. Huge lockup on ELL :( Same LL as my PB.

Look what I got while I was doing color neutral (non-white/yellow cross) training. Why, oh, why?

U2 R2 F L2 B2 R2 D2 F L2 B' L2 R D2 F' L2 B U' B D2 R'

R2 B2 U2 B2 R' D2 U2 R' U2 L' R' F D2 F U' B2 U L R' D2

Uh, wow? Cross and free first pair...

And easy 2nd pair if you do:

x2 R U2 R' U L' U L U' L' U' L

and then either orange-green or red-green are nice as well. I'd go for the orange-green that can be inserted from the back

x2 y // Inspection
R' D' (M' x') y' L' R' F R // XX-Cross+pair (7/7)
y R U' R' // F2L-3 (3/10)

U l' U' L F L' U' L U L F' L2 U l // OLLCP (EPLL skip) (14/35)

Really easy solve, except that last slot.

Nice xx-cross with M' move that I didn't see. My solution was like this:

z2 y'
R' D' R' B' y' R' F R // X-cross
L' U' L R U R' // F2L 2
y' R U' R' L' U L // F2L 3 & 4
OLL + A-perm

You could've added an F after the y' in the X-cross and it would've preserved the pair too. :) R' F R (and the mirror r U' r') don't affect the FR or FL slots respectively - useful for making X-crosses.
