37 STM / 10.09 = ~3.7 TPS. God what am I doing. Under 4 freakin TPS. That's what I get for turning slow during the first few warm-up solves. If I did this solution while warmed it would have been my fastest solve by far.

That was what I did in the solve. Unfortunately, I left inspection on and the solve wasn't timed. It could've easily been my first sub-10. This is another easy solution after the same XX-cross:

u D U' R U' R' D2 // F2L-3 (7/20)
R U2 R' // F2L-4 (3/23)
U R' U' R F R2 D' R U R' D R2 U' F' // COLL (14/37)
U' // EPLL skip (1/38)

If I'd done the second solution (I know that COLL) and had actually timed myself, this could've been even faster than just sub-10.

Holy crap.. 6.xx (did it a couple hours ago but my phone died). I predicted the last pair and the J perm..

When following your recreation On the 4th f2l I messed up, and inserted weird, getting an h perm with a pll skip. This thread is so much fun.

I got a ridiculous scramble from cubetimer.com, that I'm sure many of you could solve in 10 or less moves, but i didn't know how, so i just took advantage of the very easy first layer and F2L.

L2 D2 R2 U2 B2 U2 F2 R2 L2 B2 R2 U2 F2 B2 U2 F2 D2 F2 D2 R2


i took a screenshot of it because i knew you wouldn't believe it, but i am very new to the forum and don't know how to upload pics.

I tried the Insert Image button but none of the files on my computer came up. Is this a normal problem, if so how can i fix it?

As it happens, the optimal solve (cube explorer) is 10 moves.

It's wrong.

Here is what CubeExplorer gave me:
U D R2 U2 F2 R2 U D F2 L2 (10f*)
alg.garron.us

But again... what?! A scramble in Thistlethwaite's G[SUB]3[/SUB]?!

[sunnycoaster]

Renslay's right, i got the optimal solve wrong, although when i put the inverse of your optimal solve (backwards) into cube explorer, it gave me the right looking cube, but a competely different solve. The solve it gave me was

R2 F2 U2 F2 U2 D2 L2 D2 B2 U2 (10f*)

I would say your sovle is more "optimal", but mine works

By the way, whats thistlethwaite's G?

 

[Renslay]

By the way, whats thistlethwaite's G?

G3, not G. I refered to Thistlethwaite's algorithm, which solves the cube in a way that it force it into more and more restricted sub-groups. G3 is the last sub-group before the solved state G4. That scramble is not in G0, G1 or G2, but already in G3. So, it's like a giant skip in Thistlethwaite's algorithm.

WTF that is so odd.
