Nice solve. Erik is amazing at getting solves with easy crosses and really obvious F2Ls.

This one had no rotations between x-cross and PLL. And a nice trick for the FL slot. :cool:

What do you mean by that Lucas?
a) Erik is amazing at solving scrambles with.... or
b) Erik gets handed an amazing amound of scrambles with...

After seeing some of his solves on 3x3x3 AND on bigcubes I think a big part of Eriks speed is due to him being very ambidextrous and his skill for avoiding cube rotations. (him starting on white or yellow also helps)

In hungarian, we say "hoppá" when we get surprised at something, or when wanting to emphasize a statement like "Hoppá, de jó vagyok." - "Aren't I good?". I guess it has the same meaning in the other 2 languages mentioned.

Brilliant solve, anyway :).
