To be fair, portland has embraced the motto way more than Austin since it was adopted. Portland is also a lot weirder than Austin.

My 29 move solution to the fewest moves scramble: F L' F D R2 L U' B' R F' R' L2 B2 D F2 B2 U D' B2

I feel like I got stupid lucky finding the solution I did -- this scramble is absolutely horrible.

Spoiler: Solution

N: R \\pair (1/1)
I: L' D' R' \\2x2x1 (3/4)
N: D' B' \\2x2x2 (2/6)
I: L2 F' L U2 L \\F2L-2 (5/11)
F' U' F \\F2L-1 (3/14)
N: (B') U2 B2 L' B' L U \\L5C (6/20)

R D' B2 U2 B2 L' B' L U (2) F' U F L' U2 (1) L' F L2 R D L

1: F R F' L' F R' F' L (cancels 6)
2: R B R' F R B' R' F' (cancels 1)

Final: R D' B2 U2 B2 L' B' L U R B R' F R B' R' F2 U F L' U2 F R F' L' F L2 D L (29)
