2x2: U2 R2 F R F' R' U' R U

The first layer made me lol, it's 3 moves.

There was a scramble just like that at Nats. Too bad I didn't know Anti-CLL at the time.

Doing warm-up Avg12 before Race to sub-20.

Scramble 2 : R U B D2 R2 D L D' U2 L2 U' F2 U' R' B2 R L' D' U' F2 B2 R2 B' D B

Easy cross on U. Can't seem to reconstruct entire solve. But 19.54 with yellow cross! My lookahead was actually good this solve!

Scramble 4 : U2 B' U2 B' U2 B F2 D F' L2 R2 U2 F B2 R2 F2 U R L2 F2 L2 D F2 D U'

Had 19.93 PLL skip. Started OLL (Same one as solve 5!) at mid-17 and was disappointed. Then, BAM! No AUF. White Cross.

Scramble 9 : D2 B' F' L' D' L R D B L U D R2 D' R' B2 R F2 L F2 U2 R' B' L2 R'

18.59 Cross on D (White). FRUR'U'F' and A-Perm.

Scramble 11 : B L2 B2 F' D' F' R' F' B L B D2 U' R' B D U2 L R2 F B U F2 U B2

Most possibly one of the easiest x-crosses ever. It is too bad that I am not fully awake or fully warmed up otherwise that would have been probably a personal best. Instead just a really easy solve.

I got a 15.24 with this scramble, but I solve Roux so I could use the x Cross.

This is probably what my average speedsolve looks like.

Bleh. I wish there was a decent OLL alg for that case that didn't result in a G-Perm.

I like the last layer here; not too easy but it'd be fast in a speedsolve.

Since I use that OLL, I'd use LL 3 or 4. It would just depend on where my fingers were when I recognized it. Also, 25 move F2L.
