Multi-slotting Pop Quiz!

[teller]

Setup: L U L' U L' U' L F U F'

Insert both pairs, and post your solution! Fun!

My solution:

Spoiler

U' L' U2 L U2 L U' L'

God's solution:

Spoiler

U L U F' L' F

Edit: Obfuscated the setup, posted more (harder?) cases:

#2

Setup: B U2 B' R' F R' U' F' R U R2 U'

Optimal:

Spoiler

R F U F' R'

#3

Setup: F2 L F R' F' L' R F2 U' F' U'

Me:

Spoiler

U' R2 B' R' B R' L' U L

God:

Spoiler

F L F L' F2 U F

 

[Innocence]

My solution:

Spoiler

U L U F' L' F

Hmm, same as God's solution, what a surprise! But really, it's quite intuitive. Insert pair 1 while preserving pair two, and then cancel it into a simple L F' L' F insert...

 

[Anthony]

I would do "God's solution."
It's a bit obvious... Isn't it?

Spoiler

y2 U R U B' R' B

Not too difficult. I realized afterwards that the set-up kind of gives it away.

 

[JyH]

Don't know much about multi-slotting, or even if this counts as multi-slotting, but here's what I got:

Spoiler

y'
R U2 R' U F U' R' F R

Spoiler

y'
R U' R' U' F' U2 L F L'

I also found a variation of the second one that just changes the LL.

 

[musicninja17]

F L U2 L' R U R' F'

 

[Forte]

I would do "God's solution."
It's a bit obvious... Isn't it?

Also maybe you should set it up with something other than the inverse. The spoiler was greatly underwhelming lol

in an actual solve, I would probably do the 2 pairs separately, then realize how inefficient and silly that was >_>

R U2 R' F' L F U F R' F' R

 

[Kirjava]

y2 U R U R' U' R' U R

In roux we call this "solving the block".

 

[The Bloody Talon]

my solution is the same as god's solution too.

 

[collinbxyz]

I like the idea of this sorta thing, but it really was pretty easy.

Found gods alg

 

[asportking]

Found Gods alg pretty easily too. This is really fun though, you should make more of these, but harder.

 

[MostEd]

god algs obviuously

Found Gods alg pretty easily too. This is really fun though, you should make more of these, but harder.

This.

 

[StachuK1992]

I really like this idea, but you need better examples, and to give a longer version of the scramble (like 15 moves)

 

[Brest]

Setup: B L2 R2 F2 U L' U2 L U2 F2 L2 R2 D2 B' D

Spoiler

Another easy one.

U2 R' F R U' F' (6f*)

 

[zmikecuber]

Setup: B L2 R2 F2 U L' U2 L U2 F2 L2 R2 D2 B' D

Spoiler

Another easy one.

U2 R' F R U' F' (6f*)

that was my exact solution... lol. though its hard to know if I would figure that out during a solve. might not notice it at the time.

 

[yockee]

Doing this slow, I did God's solution (of course without looking at the spoilers), but during a fast solve, I really don't think I would have sat there thinking about that. It would've been too hesitated. I would most likely solve the formed pair while watching the other pieces, and then solved them. Basically, I would do:

L' U L U L U L' U L U' L'

 

[teller]

I'm surprised how many people thought it was obvious...I sure didn't. Here's another...

Obfuscated Setup: B U2 B' R' F R' U' F' R U R2 U'

Spoiler

R F U F' R'

 

[Kirjava]

F' U F
