After a long amount of dedication, cmowla finally found it!













Not expecting two surprise challenges so quickly?!
TOO BAD!

Here's the challenge, short and sweet:
Grab your closest 4x4.
Solve it as soon as possible, one-handed!
And post the time, of course.
Scramble:
f u' D2 F r2 R' L' D L' B' U' F U' F R r u U D R B2 L R u D' L D' U2 u2 B2 u' L2 U2 r2 D F' D' B2 R r'
 
My first thought when I saw the title was, "Not another challenge!?!?!"

5:24.16 [OLL parity].

The previous thread I was reading was the "best type of 4x4x4" thread, where I was saying how much I like the QJ over the Dayan+mf8. Let me just say that's not true when solving OH; the QJ is awful for OH solving.
 
Too obvious. Way too obvious. Was hoping it'd be another surprise challenge.

While solving I just thought "please no parity please no parity please no pa... ****".

4:54.02
 
Nice one! You definitely had me going with the thread title. I had just come into work, and was looking at the other surprise challenge thread reading the posts when I see your thread title and BAM, surprise challenge! :D

I'm at work, and didn't have a 4x4x4 so I used the Randelshofer applet, and I made sure to scramble and to solve using only one hand (on a track pad too, which I'm still not too terrible comfortable on).

Time: 5:58.81

Plain 'ol redux

Good one Stachu!
 
I'm interested in 4x4x4's God Algorithm...then I found a reduction solution of length 24 using my 4x4x4 solver(not optimal solution) :
U2 r' D' B' r f (f b') L' F' r U2 L' D' f2 (l' r) r U' D2 F' r2 D R2 F f2 u2 r2
 
1:23.07 DNF

I couldn't be bothered with OLL parity so I left it out lol

I used a shengshou version 3. It's kinda decent for 444 OH I think...

Btw: Did anyone not get OLL parity? :p
