I was just doing redux on 4x4 because I felt like it and got a 43 flat, which is a good time for me with Yau - my best redux time before this was 51.35

This broke my oldest PB of 35.66, which was about a week older than my 2x2 PB single. I knew I was pacing by the time I got to 3x3 stage - I lucked out with no parity, and I'm so glad I finally got this! First 4x4 solve of the day as well.

My main reason for not finishing the xcross straight away was because I had tracked the 2nd pair in inspection given how easy it was to, and I was worried that solving the red edge first may have led to a different case to what I had planned.

also why are my oh pbs always fullstep

That’s always the worst lol, if I have some fast times, before I end the session I make sure there’s no way for me to get a PB avg with them later lol

I was doing FMC today and I found an 11 move F2L-1!!! However, I did change my solution for it slightly, as it gave a better continuation. The solve ended up being a 37 and is below.

 Twizzle link 

 Setup 

R' U' F L2 R2 D2 B D2 F2 L2 R2 U2 B D2 F' L' D2 F' U' F U2 B U2 L2 R' U' F

 Moves 

// F R' D' R // EO
// (F' U2 B R2 B) B F2 // 11-move F2L-1
// (F' U2 B R2 B) B F U' F// F2L-1 that I actually did
// (U' F U2 F2 U' F2 U' F') // F2L
// (B U2 B2 U' B2 U' B2 U2 B) // OLL
// F' U B' U2 F U' F' U2 F B U2 // PLL
F R' D' R B F B' U2 F U' F' U2 F B U2 B' U2 B2 U B2 U B2 U2 B' F U F2 U F2 U2 F' U B' R2 B' U2 F

Edit: If you don't understand NISS, then to see the 11-move F2L-1, do B' R2 B' U2 F, then apply the scramble and do the moves that aren't in brackets up to where it says 11-move F2L-1.

It was keyboard, but since the drop was by nearly half a second, I think it would still be faster than my former PB ao12 of 11.18, which I got on stackmat.

I DON'T USUALLY GET SO MANY SUB-10s.
