Look-ahead was insane and OLL and PLL were both very easy ones. 5.16 tps too!

@Imsoosm you might want to learn this trick, instead of breaking up the free pair when you do that insert, you can multislot it like this

Thanks! During that solve, I actually did see that free pair, but a little later so I was already turning other moves. I didn't want to waste time to undo the moves before. I'll use this in future solves if I get that though.

Three sub-1 solves today!!
0.765, 0.854, 0.838
1. F' U' R F' U' F U F' R (baseballjello67's comp scram) I won't give out the solve of this one, because then other people might use my solution and get good times. This scram is really easy though!

2. U2 R' F U' R2 U' R F' R'
F U R2 U R U // solve

3. U' R' U' R2 F' U F' R U2
F U L' U' L U2 // solve

Yesterday night I also got a great scram, it's cancelled into one of the EG-1 cases I know. The fingertricks are really good too.
R F' R' U F R' U' F U
z R' F' R U R' U' R U R' // solve in 0.510 sec

All right, cstimer is definitely hacked. It keeps giving me OLL and LL skips.
