I wanted to make this because I just got into FMC a little bit which dragged me towards Petrus even more. I would really like to see some examples and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people would too. You have to admit... When someone gets a 28 move solution it kind of blows your mind. And the examples won't be long at all because you are going for fewest moves. Oh and I kind of want to see some of irontwig's examples.
I'll start but I'm not that good.

Wow, I suck. If I understood commutators and conjugates I would do Heise.
NEXT: F L B' L2 D' U' R B' U' L B F' U F' R F' B R' U D2 F D2 R F' D

PS: If this thread already exist than excuse this thread because I couldn't find it.
 
I really need to get a cube again.. no money though :( somebody want to donate to my charity haha. just kidding. I promis to contribute to this thread as soon as I get myself a new cube, hopefully soon :)

To solved position: L2 (1)

Total: 49 moves. Everything after the 2x2x2 block was bad >_<. I couldn't find a good way to extend the 2x2x2 to a 2x2x3 or anything so I just CFOP'd it.


next: U' L2 B2 F2 D F L2 F2 D2 B F2 L' U F L2 R2 D2 L U B F' D2 R2 U R2

I have a bit mixed feelings about this thread idea...
Although I love FMC I think the current example solve thread already does a nice job.

To get the maximum out of a given FMC scramble you should check out the weekly comp results.
There you get multiple solutions for the same scramble with proper explanation which I think is much more valuable than a single scramble / solution.

Anyway, if this thread does take off I'll throw in some solves too :-)
 
I don't think this is a good idea at all, and here's why:
- the FMC thread is already really good for discussing FM solutions and techniques, and already has many dozens (if not hundreds) of solutions;
- there are hundreds of solutions (both slow and fast) in the Fewest Moves Contest archives, not to mention the Weekly Contest threads;
- trying to quickly solve a scramble before the next person posts doesn't represent good FMC technique; and
- it doesn't make sense to talk about an example solve of someone's FM method, because any good solver will use different techniques and ideas depending on what they see.
