They can be if they are ridiculously easy.

Spoiler: Princeton 2011

IIRC he said it was because the judges scrambled wrong.

Your beginning, used insertion finder to get the best insertion
B2 F2 U' F2 D L2 D2 F2 L2 D' F2 R L B' L' F R2 B' U B U

F' @ D B' L' F L F' U F' B' U2 B U' L2 U L
Insert at @: F' B R B R' F B' D B' D'
Fewest moves: 22. 4 moves cancelled
The final solution: F2 B R B R' F B' D B2 L' F L F' U F' B' U2 B U' L2 U L

Very nice skeleton, just make sure that you look for those insertions!

Edit: Just looked at your solution, and your L3E had L' M'...that cancels into l' (it takes out 2 moves since M' is a slice)

It seriously didn´t, I´m noob so I didn´t know what insertion finder is.

Thanks a lot! I just learnt what insertions are from your response.

this is the scramble i got my 13.90 official on

(3,2) / (-3,0) / (0,3) / (0,-3) / (-5,-2) / (0,5) / (0,-3) / (5,0) / (0,4) / (0,3) / (0,2) / (2,0) / (0,-2)


Solution: 6,0 / 3,2 / 2,1 / 0,3 / 1,-3 / -3,6 / 0,-3 / -1,-1 / 3,0 / -3,0 / 1,1 / 2,-1 / z perm

EO skip, for ZZ solvers one line edge in place.

1:13.30 lol. For not practicing.
I think that places you top 40!
anyway, good solve.
Do you have video?

Trying to figure out whether to use redux, which I stink at, but take advantage of the centers, or Yau, which I'm good at, but not be able to use the centers. I wish I were CN with Yau...

Edit: should have gone with Yau. I did redux and got a 2:03... I average 1:23, but part of that was that I missed 2 edges while I was pairing.

2x2 - U' F R' F R2 F' U F' U' (use Ortega)

just got this from qqtimer

 

[blackzabbathfan]

U2 R2 U' R2 U2 F2 U' R2 U2

This is the easiest Ortega scramble for 2x2.

 

[BlueDevil]

U2 R2 U' R2 U2 F2 U' R2 U2

This is the easiest Ortega scramble for 2x2.

nope. The post above you has an easier scramble...

(at least for me) Post above: 1.27 first try. Yours: 2.41 first try.
I'm way faster at that other PBL
