Petrus Steps Timed

[thelurch1986]

I will now attempt a Petrus solve....

Hmmm..... I just got 49.85 I guess Im not that bad at petrus anyway. Or It might be the easy 2x2?

By the way, my blocks fail. Help?

How would you plan out your 2x2 on this scramble?

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

What a crap scramble. I glanced at it for a sec and got this; U' F2 R F R2 F'. I just used the first thing I saw....I'm tired.

:fp You should have double checked...

That is actually a proper 2x2x2 for him, he has algs that will later rotate the corner and make it correctly oriented while solving other pieces.

I am still interested in your 2x2x2? You said it had an easy 2x2x2 but I couldn't find a 2x2x2 solution in less than 8-9 moves (I don't use the incorrectly oriented corner stuff)

I don't think he said it was easy, he just asked how you would do the scramble.

@ iSpinz: Never heard of EJF2L?

Just for fun I did all 8 corners. I find this a good way to practice the 2x2x2. Sure hope I got the scramble right...

FUL - D2 U' B2 D' L' F L2
FUR - D R2 L' D' F R
FDL - F' D2 U' F2 L
FDR - B2 R F2 U' R' F2
BUL - R' U2 L R U2 B' L'
BUR - R B2 F' L' F U2 (+ L' D2 L2 for full 2x2x3)
BDL - R F U' L B2
BDR - R' U2 D L B2 D2 L' B2

I could find about half of these within the 15 seconds, but it would be real hard to decide which corner to pick, since none looks any good. I'd probably have gone with the FUL one, since D2 joins up a pair.

Those were fun to follow. Those 5 movers surprised me.

I want to be more clear: I'm not saying I could find 4 of these in 15 seconds. That's absurd.

I am saying that if I picked a random corner, I could solve it this well during inspection about half the time.

So these solutions are better than what I'd do in a competition, but not by much.

That was some amazing block-building. Definitely lets me realize I need to work on my block-building more, something I thought I was pretty good at up to this point. Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
