FMC at Dutch nationals

[guusrs]

gogozerg, that solution doesn't work for me. I seem to get lost at the CMLL part. I guess knowing NMCMLL would help for FMC

That's the finish i found with your starting blocks.

Gilles,

Anyway, 32 or 33 moves linear is very good!

jude, your fmc is ridiculous. there HAS to be FMC at the next UK comp just to see what you do... sub 30 yeah?

Jude, didn't you say you'd only done FMC ~5 times when I asked you at UK Open? Awesome solve, anyway

Chukk, that is an amazing solve, almost LL skip, like I had at my 27 move world record.

My solution at the competition yesterday was:

D' F2 U R' U' L U R U' L2 B U B' D B D' U' F' D F2 U D' R F2 R' F' R F' R' F' (30)

decomposition:
pseudo F2L minus pair: D' F2. L' B U B' D B D' (9!)
F2L: U' F' D F2 U D' (15)
LL edges: R F2 R' F' R F' R' F' (23)
leaving a corner 3-cyle.
to solve at dot insert: U R' U' L U R U' L'

I found that first amazing 9 moves within 5 minutes. But it was hard to finish.
Can Anyone find a better continuation after these 9 moves?

Firstly, thanks! I was pretty pleased with my solution myself
Secondly, I almost found a nice end to your start..
U' F2 L' F' L F U (L2) leaves a 3 cycle of edges and a 3 cycle of corners, but I couldn't find any insertion for the edges, so I didn't even bother looking for one for corners..
EDIT: B L' F' L B' L' F L D U2 L F B' U2 F' B L U2 finishes it, but that gives 34 :\

jude, your fmc is ridiculous. there HAS to be FMC at the next UK comp just to see what you do... sub 30 yeah?

I know, I hope there is a FMC at comp, but I'm not sure how well I'd do at this under pressure

http://cubefmc.blogspot.com/ is a list of all my FMC I've ever done, so this one is my 7th ever

Chukk, you are amazing! When I seriously started FMC, I was over 40 moves. By my 7th, my best was only 31. After that, I averaged about sub-35 and got a 27 mover on my 12th try, then I came across this stupid scramble
(L'D'RB2UBR'L2FU2F'R'U2LB2R'F2RB2LU2F2U2F2).

Then, I continued to solve high 20s--high 30s.
When I got to something like my 25th solve, I just stopped seriously trying and did mostly linear or very quick solutions from low 40s to low 30s.
As of now, I recorded 43 attempts, but many of the ones are just short skeletons (20-30 moves) without insertions.
